Master Class

Venue

“La Mélodieuse” is a space for sharing music produced by composer Yuko Uébayashi. Surrounded by the mountains of Luberon in southern France, it stands in the pine forest of Puget village.
In summer, we spend the time under shining clear light, endlessly high blue sky, and pure breeze through the shade of the trees. The master class is held in such a special environment where the sound of the flute you play is accompanied by the songs of birds.

Repertoires

This masterclass aims to give you a deeper understanding of music.

Both Flute repertoire and Yuko Uébayashi’s flute works, please select the music you want to learn the most and register it as your first choice in the repertoire.

If there is a music you want to learn as the second music, you can register up to your second choice.
If the repertoire could not be narrowed down at the time of application, you can register as undecided. Also, if you have any questions about the repertoire or any matters you would like to discuss, please write them down.
In any case, each flute professor or Yuko Uébayashi will consult about the repertoire.

Appearances in two concerts

♪ Musique pour tous ♪ is an enjoyable stage to play with all musiciens (professors, students, pianist, harpist, violinist, cellist,,,). In session 1, the concert will be held in the foyer of the school in Puget village, and in session 2, it will be held in the courtyard of «Château La Verrerie», a winery representing the Luberon

«Final concert of Masterclass» All students can perform about 10 minutes in this concert.People who truly love the music of the village will gather at the salon of «La Mélodieuse». It is the moment when the music you play is wrapped in the warm cheers of the people.

Accompanist

A pianist accompanies all lessons in the Masterclass and your performance in the Final Concert.
This is very important for learning music as a total work, or for knowing the joy of chamber music.

As accompanists, pianists who are deeply trusted by Yuko Kambayashi will participate. They all have great musical expression as soloists. They are also experts in the theory and technique of advanced accompaniment and chamber music, one of the traditions of French music.
