Have you ever played the piccolo in a practice for an hour or so, then switched to a song where you play the flute and found it takes getting used to? Same idea. Yes I have.....on many occassions. Once you've done it enough you find that long hours on piccolo and then switching to flute actually en...

I would have to agree 100% on this! I think it all comes back to praise vs. encouragement. I've been learning about this in a parenting class i've been taking through my church but it applies to all areas of life. If you praise a child (or a flute student) on something that they have done it doesn't...

Woof, I understand what you are saying about nothing being blown with enough force to be forced from the esophagus or the stomache into the instrument. What I was talking about was the residue that sticky, sugary coke products leave on the lining of your mouth, tongue, and teeth. If this wasn't an i...

Sarah Palin...."flutist"?
In light of recent events, this video has surfaced on youtube. I have to say, this is just my humble opinion of course, if that "song" had been any longer I think my ears would have literally started to bleed profusely. But i'll let you all be the judge. I just love how they announce her as an "acco...

Re: Gemeinhardt Flutes Rule
