Dallas Electives
The following is a list of electives offered at Floot Fire. Each camp offers electives based on the specialties of the faculty at that location. Electives change from location to location and year to year.
It is part of what makes each camp special and Floot Fire so unique!
Beginner Piccolo
Learn the first steps in playing the piccolo. This class is for students with little or no piccolo experience.
Better Practice
Learn how to take fundamentals to a higher level and apply to your flute literature! Learn how to “decompose” a piece of music and tailor your practice to the needs of your piece.
Extended Techniques
Beginning in the 20th century, composers began to experiment with new sounds that could be produced by our modern flute. These techniques have been used to expand the palette of flute sounds, evoke new moods, and also help strengthen and reinforce traditional playing techniques. Students will learn techniques such as Harmonics, Multiphonics, Flutter Tonguing, Singing and Playing, Beatboxing, and more!
Flooty Yoga
The name says it all. Wear comfortable clothing and bring an towel or a yoga mat.
Low Flutes
Meet the low end of the flute family. Participants will be introduced to alto flutes, bass flutes, and the mighty contrabass flute. We will learn how to handle these gentle giants and have an opportunity to perform on them. Instrument provided.
Orchestral Excerpts
As students begin preparing for college and professional orchestra auditions they will need to become familiar with many orchestral excerpts. This class introduces several of the most frequently requested excerpts and helps students develop useful practice tools to learn the works.
Some electives are divided by class level. Please be sure to select the correct class level when registering.
