Re: Circular breathing / blowing?
But then she serves also as a best example of why Debost said "don't bother learning circular breathing / blowing, as the flute doesn't sound the same under this technique"... :roll: Maybe beauty is in the ears of the beholders? what do you mean about the circular breathing note sounding the same? ...

YOUR opinion on tone production and improvement

There are other exam boards too. In Australia most people do exams with the AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board). Another good one is Trinity College London, they offer exams in Australia (not sure about USA). I do mine with them. It came to my attention recently that apparently people don't d...

Khatachurian Flute Concerto
What do people think of this concerto? I've recently become fascinated by it, what does everyone else think? I love the distinct folk Russian/Armenian feel to it! Also, any recommendations for recordings to listen to? Pahud did a good one and I LOVE Oistrakh's recording (although this is obviously v...

Hi there! I was reading your blog and saw in an old post you were reading a book about "the development of the orchestral audition (focusing on the flute audition)" Do you remember which book it was?
