Yoga

Our yoga teacher will be present and give lessons to our participants.
Regular practice of Yoga can help musicians on many levels:
  • Breathing exercises can help musicians to achieve better control over their own breathing, to relieve stress and find renewed strength.
  • Stretching Yoga exercises can help relieve muscular tensions and adjust posture problems.
  • Relaxation exercises can help musicians to face stressful situations (such as exams, performances.) with greater ease.


John Schlammes is a certified yoga teacher from the Sivananda tradition (Integral Yoga), Confederation of Yoga Vidya Teachers (BYV), under the seal of the German organization of Yoga (DyV). The 3-year training program is recognized internationally - European Federation of Yoga Teachers Associations (EFYTA).

As a musician, John comes from the rock scene, John Schlammes (1971) soon discovered he had a soul for jazz. After his studies with Rom Heck and Guy Cabay at the Luxembourg conservatory he has been approached by most jazz musicians of this country.

His calmness, his self-confidence and his discretion are advantages as great as his big heart. He has used his musical knowledge for the benefit of the mentally disabled at the St. Joseph Institute in Betzdorf. With them he founded the orchestra 'Taka-Tuka', thus providing the proof that less privileged people and so-called normal people can communicate via music. The Taka-Tuka orchestra has performed in various places in Luxembourg and Germany.

John Schlammes speaks English, French, German and Luxemburgish

Peter Swinkels(22.7)

Conference : relationship between sound and material of a flute, entitled "Your Sound or Its?"

Peter Swinkels was born in the south of The Netherlands and has played flute since the age of eight. After his college studies, graduating with an imbursement for chemistry, he instead opted to study at the Conservatory in Maastricht where he graduated with degrees in Music Education, Choir Conducting and Flute Performance.

Throughout his Conservatory years, Swinkels actively taught flute and conducted choirs. He developed the belief that a musician performs best when he/she is able to speak with their own best, personal 'voice'. As a flute teacher, therefore, he focused on developing the unique personal sound that fits each of his students. As a result of this approach he became interested, not only in fostering the personalized sound through playing, but also in the factors of flute construction that would affect this sound, i.e. the material of the flute and headjoint.

In the quest for answers, Swinkels established a relationship with Adams Music Centre. Adams ultimately asked him to start a Flute Centre division: a place where flutists, professionals and amateurs alike can come not only to buy flutes or headjoints but also to get expert advice. In the short span of seven years, Swinkels has developed the Adams Flute Centre into the leading European flute centre where customers from all over Europe come to buy their flutes, piccolos or headjoints.

During the Forum International, Peter Swinkels will give a one-hour lecture about the relationship between sound and material of a flute, entitled "Your Sound or Its?"

This conference is sponsored by Adams Flute Centre

Peter Swinkels speaks Dutch, English and German

Hauro Uesawa (Canceled)


We are sorry, but the Hauro Uesawa's conference and the Uesawa flutes exposition are canceled

The Uesawa Flutes are characterized by the inner-bridge system, pinless mechanism, special padding technique and that they are completely hand-made. The tonal characteristics of Uesawa Flutes, namely quick response in the low range and good intonation in all registers, can be particularly noticeable in fast passages or jumps.
