PM
With equally deep roots in classical music old and new and in free
improvisation and new jazz, Robert Dick has established himself as
an artist who has not only mastered his instrument, he has
redefined the flute. Diverse global audiences have likened his
uncanny solo performances to "the experience of hearing a full
orchestra." Dick's sound can be thick chords one instant,
then chromatic
percussion, then delicate whispering filigrees, then a display
of

surprising
power. His performances include flute (with his invention, the
Glissando Headjoint�), piccolo, alto flute, and bass flutes in
C and F and the giant, stand-up contrabass flute.
Dick has
had a major impact on flute playing everywhere because of his
pedagogy, including countless masterclasses throughout the
Americas, Europe, Australia and Asia, the seminal books The Other
Flute, Tone Development through Extended Techniques and Circular
Breathing for the Flutist plus two volumes of the etudes Flying
Lessons. Instructional CDs and DVDs --and his series of
instructional videos on YouTube -- illuminate his ideas and music
for students and professionals everywhere.
Robert
Dick's primary flute teachers were Henry Zlotnik, James
Pappoutsakis, Julius Baker and Thomas Nyfenger. He studied
composition and electronic music with Robert Morris and Bulant
Arel. He holds both undergraduate and graduate degrees from
Yale.
Dick
lives in New York City and is on the faculty of New York University
and the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate
Center.
