What is tmj? I have that feeling in my mouth too. It happens
after I play awhile. I also grind my teeth at night (or so im told).

Where would be a good place to find these songs? I'm
trying fluteworld.com at the moment, but I was wondering if there was any place
better.

At first it was very hard for me to switch from flute to piccolo. Infact, after I played my piccolo for awhile for the first time i went back to my flute and couldnt play a single thing. It just takes time practicing with the different emboucures(sp?) It will be very hard playing flute directly afte...

When ever I hear the words "buying a flute on ebay" i literally cringe. I bought a gemienhardt off ebay, it wasnt too bad, but it wasnt anything i would use besides in marching band. My friend got very UNlucky when buying a flute off ebay. It doesnt work well AT ALL. Make sure you know exactly what ...

you should be happy! 3rd is not bad at all! i know that when I try-out the judges arent very fair. Often times they don't even have flute players trying you out so they dont really know how to judge an instrument they dont play (at least thats just what im thinking). Also, next year when you try-out...

How do you know which to choose? if theres so many... i dont
know if ill ever be able to decide which one.

I think, that if your in marching band you have to still take
physical fitness, but you dont have to take a sport. like basketball 1 or
something like that. I'm not too sure.

Does anybody have a suggestion on flute duets? me and my friend wanted to play one for solo and ensemble but there is only 1s and 2s on the list. so now we are looking just to play one for fun. We want a song that is either grade 4 or 5 (in florida, i dont know what that would be anywhere else). tha...

next year im playing piccolo in marching band. i want to
switch instruments but i decided i didnt TRULY want to switch. also, do you
think that oboe would hurt or improve my flute playing. I was thinking about
playing that as a second instrument.

DEFINITLY harmfull. after marching season i had ALOT of practicing to do. on the field i didnt worry too much about the music (you cant hear the flutes even if all of us played our loudest) and when i did play i couldnt tell what i was doing rong. therefore i got some bad habits (tounging with throa...

Unfortunatley, i did not do my best at all county. but, its ok becuase it only makes my strive to get better. I have never heard of that movie, but Im going to try to rent it this weekend. The cold doesn't really bother me that much, I was born and lived in New York for more than half my life. I fee...

During middle school I often had challenging music, but now... its really easy. i want to get in the top band, because the easy concert band music is holding me back. plus, I can not stand the sound of undedicated people talking about dumb things during a rehearsal, and the top band does not have th...

i aggree, but i think they use the middle school because most of the
camps are for middle schoolers. and maybe they cant use the high school for some
reason.

Does trying to get into the Manhattan School of Music or Julliard a way out of the question thing? I want to go to one of those, but I'm thinking its going to be very tough. Part of me says "are you crazy, you'll never make it" and the other half says "who says it cant be you. some1 has to get into ...

Does anyone know where I could download an audio
recording for this song for free?
