Sunday, March 7 10:00-10:50 AM Playing Without Pain for Flutists - Integrating Wellness Habits and Preventing Injury Francesca Leo, presenter Taking good care of your mental and physical health is just as important as practicing your instrument. Various studies have demonstrated that the vast majority of musicians develop some type of performance-related injury throughout their careers. Flutists are uniquely vulnerable to developing performance-related injuries due to the asymmetrical nature of their instruments. Join Francesca Leo, flutist and founder of http://www.playingwithoutpain.com, in an interactive workshop discussing various methods of activating the body's relaxation response, practicing efficiently, and incorporating a physical warm-up into your practice sessions as a way to help prevent injury. During this workshop, Francesca will be discussing a brief overview of statistics and research regarding the prevalence of performance-related injuries in flutists. She will lead participants through a guided meditation and a body scan exercise followed by an improvisationally-based warm-up routine to activate the relaxation response and learn to begin your practice session with ease and freedom. For this online workshop, the audience will need their flute, a pillow or blanket, and a comfortable place to sit or lie down. 11:00-11:50 AM Let's Play Marais! Lish Lindsey, presenter Marin Marais' "Les Folies d'Espagne" for flute alone is an all-in-one playground to explore tone, technique, and phrasing for all players. Bring your piccolo, flute, or harmony flute to this hands-on workshop, where you will explore effective and efficient ways for you to find your voice through Marais' music, sixteen measures at a time. 12
