Summer vacation is the best time of the year for participating at some masterclasses. It’s fun, there’s enough time to prepare for it and it’s a wonderful way to spend time playing flute! Not to mention the fact that it is a great occasion to make new acquaintances, new friends and maybe it is the best chance to study with your idols of the flute world! However there are some basic guidelines to follow if you want to get most out of your time and to have an unforgettable experience.
 
     Prepare yourself in advance!
The vacation is the right time for the laziness and for being relaxed. But don’t exaggerate with having rest from flute before your upcoming masterclass.

     Have you ever tried to write your own piece? You don't need a composers diploma to express your creativity! What are you waiting for? Here are some tips to start! 

     1. Look for the inspiration!
If you haven't even started to compose your own musical piece and already feel like all the inspiration has abandoned you at the moment your hand picks up a pencil, don't give up! Look around you! Do you see something interesting? There should be some objects around you that make particular sounds or rhythms. You can also read a story and try to portray it in music. There are so many options. Open your eyes and ears and be brave enough to give your music a chance to be written!
