"What an inspiration! Flautotonic is not only an incredible professional ensemble, but both members are exceptional music teachers. They are able to skillfully combine their expertise of working with children and young people together with their performance, to provide workshops/performances of an incredibly high caliber.

Suggestions for workshops:
Dances, Drums and Whistles! A popular interactive concert performed at museums, local festivals and numerous London primary schools. For this programme Flautotonic are joined by percussionist Rebecca McChrystal and present an entertaining and interactive concert exploring dance music from all around the world.
Gulliver's Travels: In 1726 Gulliver's Travels was published in London. It became an immediate best seller and readers 'from the cabinet council to the nursery' immersed themselves in this travel fantasy and political satire. In this interactive family concert, Flautotonic explore the sights and sounds of Gulliver's travels. Leaving the bustling London streets behind, we sail to Lilliput and Brobdingnag and enjoy both small and large adventures. Please pack your sense of adventure and musical imagination!
The Tudors: Flautotonic can help bring another dimension to your Key Stage 2 Tudor lessons or project. The sounds of Tudor England can be brought to your classroom in this interactive and engaging workshop. The workshop begins with a performance of Tudor music including compositions by Henry VIII. Your class will then explore elements of Tudor society through the creation of soundscape pieces, representing different scenes from Tudor life. The workshop culminates in a performance of the children's composition alongside performances by Flautotonic.
Musical Journeys: In this interactive concert Flautotonic travel around the world performing music from across the globe. This includes music sourced from South America to the streets of Dublin and an eclectic range of European Baroque music. The programme features a mixture of interactive and listening pieces and could easily provide an engaging musical link to your humanities lessons.

‘Flautotonic created an interactive and performance-led workshop exploring Baroque Christmas music for Handel House in 2013. Anyone who attends one of their workshops will see that they are highly creative and innovative educators. They present the recorder in a way that is exciting and stimulating for children and they contextualise their musical choices and instruments with flair and with a captivating narrative. In ‘Christmas Journeys’, their command of the audience (of all ages, some as young as 2) during interactive sections was particularly impressive and awe-inspiring. Their family concert drew in a very large audience and we hope to use them for future family events because their formula is tried, tested and simply brilliant. Flautotonic successfully engage with audiences of any ages and I highly recommend them for family and learning events.’
