FSGP's Adult Amateur Committee presents...

FOR THE LOVE OF THE INSTRUMENT

We are pleased to present this event for our adult membership. Panelists Cheryl McKee Bretsnyder, Lynne Cooksey, Lois Bliss Herbine, and Kimberly Reighley will each describe how they work with adult students in finding balance to incorporate musical studies in order to achieve optimal success. Time management, practice techniques, and assessment of individual goals will be addressed in this session, along with the opportunity for Q&A. 

About our Panelists:

Lois Bliss Herbine continues the legacy of the American school of flute playing and instruction established by flutist William Kincaid who, with the other fathers of the American School of Woodwinds, helped create the incomparable Philadelphia Sound.
