       “Sacred Breath for Fluting and Life”  (a.k.a., Breath Control)

“I’m playing all the same notes as you, so how do you sound so sweet -  what are you doing?”

     In this workshop ISMA nominee, Musical Echoes 1st Place Performer, and educator Jan Seiden shares her secret: The secret is not in breath control, but in letting go of it.  Our bodies are simply channels for Spirit to sing through the flute.  Learn through fun and simple exercises derived from yoga and Qi Gong how you breathe, how breath moves through you, and how you can shape air.  Begin using muscles we don’t typically think of as being involved in breathing – the diaphragm is just the beginning!  Sound like a paradox?  So is the term “breath control.” Do you have a flute with a good bit of back pressure?  A flute that requires no effort at all that seems to almost want to take your breath away?  Bring them to this workshop to begin breathing with your flutes. 

Please wear comfortable clothes and bring drinking water for yourself.

Background on this workshop:

  I’ve often asked myself what I can offer to the flute community in the way of knowledge that is unique.  Seeing how many gifted flute players there are, the answer evaded me for a long time.  The question came back to, “what am I good at that others are not workshopping about?  What do people need?”  I thought about what people say they like about my flute music.  Well, there’s more to good flute playing than music, I thought.  Flooding into my mind was the frustration I hear from many fluties about breath control, and one student’s near-threat to put me in a medical imaging device while I play so they could actually see inside my body.  Reviewers were much kinder, here’s what some of them said:

“Seiden’s flutes sing like birds – with a purity and effortlessness that transcends their simple construction.” ~Massage Magazine

 “...[Seiden] lets the beautiful, natural tones come forth from solid breath-work.” ~The Critical Review

 “Seiden’s original flute solos demonstrate not only phenomenal breath-work and lip-tongue technique, but also demonstrate her poetic soul and passionate heart.”
~PJ Birosik, Nationally syndicated music reviewer, Musik International

“A unique mixture of honed virtuosity and free-flow note shaping come together in the music of Jan Seiden, uplifting and transporting the listener.”  ~Russ Venable, flutemaker. Review of Seiden’s CD, Woodland Winds
