22.01.2022 Meet our tutors! Jim Phelan and Paul Rabinov

21.01.2022 Paul Rabinov has been servicing Lisa-Maree Amos' flutes for over two decades, from when she was living in Los Angeles. On her annual trips from Melbourne to LA, she and Paul frequently talked about organizing an opportunity for flutists in Australia to train in the art of flute repair, particularly as many young players now have professional standard instruments. After finding a suitable time for a visit, Paul then invited Jim Phelan to join him here in Australia. The collect...ed knowledge of repair, instrument making and course design offered here will be extensive and like nothing offered before in Australia. This course is designed for players who want to learn general maintenance and care, and extends to current repairers seeking professional development, and people interested in getting into the profession. Normally this training would only be offered overseas. Contact me to register as spaces are limited to 30. www.trybooking.com/324383 See more
