Get to Know...Olivia Boatman

Picture

We have been very happy to welcome several new members to the Flute New Music Consortium this year. So many of our new members are really enthusiastic about new music and are quickly becoming active members of the organization. Among them is Olivia Boatman, who will perform Stephen Lias’s Flight of Fancy at the Florida Flute Association Convention January 28, 2016.
 
Q&A with Olivia…

Describe your musical background and current activities.
I was lucky to grow up in a musical family.  From an early age I had the opportunity to take piano and flute lessons and attend many summer camps and clinics for voice and band.  Due to such a supportive musical system, I fell in love with music education and pursued degrees in music education and performance.  As a recent graduate, I am excited to share my passion of music with students in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas.       
 
What about new music for the flute appeals to you?
I enjoy the opportunity to explore and break new boundaries in music.  The ability to perform new music opens creative outlets and chances to inspire others in the ever-changing world of music.
 
What advice can you give to flutists about approaching new music in practice?
When practicing new music, I would suggest allowing time for technique practice and personal reflection.  Some pieces require non-traditional effects, which can take both dedicated practice time and reflection time to create a convincing musical phrase.
