For this observation I chose to sit in on a lesson that involved Prof. Andon, flute teaching artist, and student Courtney Otis. The event took place Thursday the 21st of this month, at around twelve in the afternoon. The lesson could be broken into three parts: introduction/warm-up, technical studies, and piece. Most of the time was dedicated to addressing issues with the repertoire, such as dynamic contrast, intonation, tone production, and technical passages. The professor began the lesson by welcoming the student into her office and asking the student general questions about her week and the music. The student seemed comfortable enough to state that she was still working on the assigned scale exercises and some technical/memory skills
