The master class is open to flutists from high school and above. Mr. Coelho's approach to flute is based on Gen. 2:7. He believes that God gave him a special talent with the flute and that it is possible not only to honor the Lord with our instruments and talents, but also to teach music and flute techniques through a Christian perspective.
"Your hearts will rejoice as when people go up with flutes to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel." Isaiah 30:29

What Participants said about the 2009 Class:
“He [Tadeu Coelho] takes the individual’s gifts and musical talents and gives instruction to bring out the best flute player in you.”
“It was so fun to work with Kathy [Blocki] in the flute choir setting. We learned so much from her as she is so clear with instruction and her interpretation and musicianship [are] so expressive.”
“The masterclass was so organized and interesting. The environment is supportive, encouraging, and uplifting.”
“Tadeu was fantastic, genius, funny - such a blessing!”
“Her [Kathy’s] pedagogy workshops were great. I also enjoyed playing in the flute choir.”
“Tadeu is terrific. He is able to bring everyone’s level of playing up regardless of how advanced they are.”
“[Esther’s lecture on extended technique] was terrific. I learned a lot. We could tell she loves talking about this subject.”
