Out Of The Rut: Exploring New Horizons With Your Native Flute with Jonny Lipford
About This Workshop:
The beauty of the Native flute lies in its ability to move our hearts and souls—but what happens when you lose that spark? Falling into the rhythm of playing the same thing over and over can leave even the most dedicated players feeling disconnected from their music. This workshop will change that. Together, we’ll uncover the three most important elements for breaking free from repetitive habits and breathing new life into your playing.
Don’t expect a typical flute class. Expect connection, exploration, and revelations that will shift how you think about your music. These three elements have the power to unlock inspiration and bring you back to why you fell in love with the flute in the first place. Are you ready to break through and rediscover the magic?
Step into this workshop and give yourself the gift of rediscovery—I’ll see you there!
- A breakthrough for transforming the repetitive into something fresh and full of life.
- Tools to access more variety in your playing and break free of habits.
- A renewed sense of inspiration and connection to your flute.

Foundations of Rhythm PART 2 with the Flute with Peta Minter
About This Workshop:
A continuation of last month's fun rhythmic workshop - this is a trauma-informed workshop to build rhythm confidence, deepen listening, and enhance musical expression.
Do you ever feel unsure about playing in time, keeping steady rhythm, or following along with rhythm tracks or playing with others? You’re not alone—rhythm doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
Find Your Rhythm is a gentle and supportive workshop designed especially for those who want to strengthen their rhythm skills, express themselves with more confidence, and feel more connected to rhythmic music.
We’ll explore how rhythm connects with our body, breath, and heart. You’ll discover how rhythm can support your creativity, composition, and healing sound journey, even if you’ve struggled with timing in the past.
By exploring the way you take in rhythm—whether by feeling, hearing, or seeing—you’ll build greater self-awareness. This insight empowers you to play with more ease, confidence, and musicality on your flute.
- Confidence in Your Rhythm - Simple tools to help you stay grounded in your timing and play with more ease.
- Empowered Listening - A deeper awareness of how you listen (kinaesthetic, auditory, visual) so you can connect more fully with your flute and music.
- Creative Flow and Self-Expression - Rhythmic tools to support improvisation, musical storytelling, and personal expression on your flute.
