The central feature of our June workshop is an exploration of Baroque and folk dance forms, using two-part music. Dances on the radar are the gigue and jig, the menuet and related triple-time dance tunes from Sweden, along with various dances in 4 and 2.
We'll be comparing and contrasting these dances, we'll work on certain melodic and rhythmic figures (i.e. techniques especially for fingers and tongue), and we'll play the pieces through together, you on your part and Alison on hers. (Of course, if you want to double Alison, be our guest!)
This promises to be an energetic and energizing workshop in which the featured duets will include music by Telemann, dances from 17th and 18th century France, and pieces from a variety of folk music sources.

This month's Online Course is going to be next week already, so if you're interested, write down the date and register for it!
I know several of you didn’t get the chance of taking the Renaissance diminution course, and others will want to take a refresh course, so we’re going to repeat it, with a twist! The sources will be the same as the previous diminution course, but we’re going to apply it to English music. As a preparation for this course, I’m going to send you my article on How To Diminish for Recorder Magazine for free. I do encourage you to purchase the entire magazine as soon as it comes out since there is lots of interesting information! I will offer the course, as always, in two time zones, Europe/America and Europe/Australasia. I will also offer a later class in Spanish with this subject focused on Spanish Renaissance music!
We will learn and practise how to ornament properly in Renaissance music. I will use the guide of Ortiz again, but we will also take the article as our guide and move on to the actual pieces.
For the June NAVRS playing meeting, Miyo Aoki will bring a variety of music from both the Renaissance and Middle Ages – a sort of musical sampler! We will play Italian, German, and French music, including a haunting medieval canon, a song of courtly love, a German folk tune, and a masque dance by the English expatriate, William Brade, who spent most of his career on the continent. We will explore the unique traits of each piece and get a taste of the many early genres and styles available to us as recorder players. Hopefully, you will come away having found a new genre to explore or having rediscovered one you haven’t played in awhile! The music will range in level from simpler to more challenging, with easier parts available for those who would like them.We hope you can join us!
Lobke Sprenkeling Summer Course Online 2023
Tailored to your level - Weekends July 15-16 and 22-23
Two different classes of 1.5h this year: Beginner/Low-Intermediate, High-Intermediate Advanced/Professional.
There will be two Time Zones: European/American Time Zone and Australasian Time Zone.
*Last year, I noticed that advanced Spanish speaking recorder players had enough knowledge of English to join us in the English version. Therefore, in Spanish I will only offer a Beginner/Low-Intermediate class.
This is how we’ll do it:
In each class we will focus on a specific topic as specified below, with direct application to your own repertoire and your specific needs as an active student. In this way you will progress in your chosen repertoire, working on different aspects of the same piece while attending to your particular technical-musical needs. This year, instead of a Facebook group, I've set up a community space at nas.io, which is much more independent. Here, you'll be able to drop a question outside of class.
Our main topics will be:
July 15: Technique
July 16: Your Repertoire
July 22: Historical Improvisation & Ornamentation
July 23: Your Repertoire
Europe / America:
CEST (UTC +2) 6pm: Beginners/Low-Intermediate
CEST (UTC +2) 7.30pm: High-Intermediate/Advanced/Professional
CEST (UTC +2) 9.15pm: Spanish Beginners/Intermediate
Australasia/Europe morning:
Australian Eastern Time (UTC +10) 7pm - 8.30 pm: Beginners/Low-Intermediate
Australian Eastern Time (UTC +10) 8.30pm - 10.00 pm: High-Intermediate/Advanced/Professional
