Flute Seminar, Revekka Meletiadou

The seminar is addressed to flute students and learners of all levels. Topics related to technique and interpretative approach will be explored, depending on the level and uniqueness of each individual student. For children aged 7–13, the Suzuki method will be used (learning through games and interaction). Advanced students wishing to improve their pieces for a competition or audition will receive specific preparation with piano accompaniment.

The seminar will include both individual and group lessons in flute ensembles, and it will be open to participants for listening and observation. Depending on their level and readiness, students will also participate in chamber music ensembles that may be formed during the seminar, and will have the opportunity to present the results of their work in the final concert.

More specifically, the seminar will cover technical topics such as:

– Body mapping and how it affects sound production and tone quality
– Breathing techniques: proper air management and understanding through exercises
– Finger dexterity and coordination
– Articulation
– Tuning
– Practice techniques and study organization
– The importance of listening
– Enriching musical experience and auditory exposure

Set in nature and a welcoming environment, the seminar will combine practice with fun, fostering collaboration and the creation of new friendships.

Revekka Meletiadou was born in 1988 in Germany. She studied flute at the Luca School of Arts in Belgium in the class of Berten D’Hollander, where she completed her Master’s degree in Music Performance and Interpretation in 2014. She later pursued a second postgraduate program in Chamber Music at the University of Music and Performing Arts of Porto in Portugal.

She has participated in and attended seminars with world-renowned soloists and pedagogues such as J. Galway, R. Winn, W. Bennett, T. Roada, C. Jans, T. Wye, M. Ziegler, A. Adorján, R. Brown, W. Boustany, J.-C. Gérard, J. Balint, and D. Bouriakov.

Her artistic activity includes numerous performances and participations. She has appeared both as a soloist and as a member of the FLAURIMBA DUO ensemble with marimbist Fiona Pui-yee Foo from Hong Kong, performing in concerts in Greece, Germany, Belgium, and Portugal. She is also a member of the chamber music ensemble MOTUS RECTUS DUO (flute & guitar), with performances at the COSMOPOLIS Festival and in concerts for the “Beautiful Greece” project.

Highly active as a pedagogue, she has spent years searching for the “ideal” teaching method. This led her to study the Suzuki Method, which is aimed at children aged 4 and above, making her the only Greek flutist specialized in this teaching method. She frequently attends educational seminars in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Greece, with a particular interest in the Kathy Blocki Method.

In Belgium, she worked as a flute instructor at the European School of Brussels and the International German School of Brussels (iDSB), where she also founded the international flute school “Flute Up Your Life”.

From 2021 to 2025, her students have excelled in national flute competitions in Greece, winning a total of five 1st prizes and three 2nd prizes in the Junior to 18-year-old categories.

She has taught flute at the Municipal Conservatories of Kavala and Alexandroupolis (2018–2023) and is currently teaching at the “Neapolis” Conservatory in Kavala. She is regularly invited to serve as a jury member for the “Jugend Musiziert” classical music competition for youth in Belgium and Germany.
