If you are getting back into flute playing, then the Gemeinhardt is the way to go. Easy to play, nice sounds, easy to care for. Go with the obvious choice. Anyway, it's not the flute - it's YOU. We tend not to lead people toward a specific brand of instrument on here. It's just not wise considering...

Try Kuhlau's Six Divertisments......they are great without accompanyment and would fit nicely for a wedding setting.

Well thank you Fluteguy and Phineas! :D Sorry I haven't been around here much lately. It's just been a really crazy year. I had major ear surgery in Jan. I lost about 90% of the hearing in my left ear and will need more surgery to repair the ear drum in that ear coming up in Jan. I've had to learn h...

Jennifer Cluff and Nina Perlove and both very well respected teachers. Maybe not your style but then again.....Galway isn't my syle. It's all up to personal opinion. To me Galway's tone is too pinched and he plays ever style of music the same with no tone color changes. I'm not a fan of his vibrato ...

I have to say i'm not a fan of the Galway method or of his overall sound.....if you want some really great tone/embouchure lessons check out these youtube links....they are really great teaching tools! Hope they help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5dNvR31FcE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS1GISEZ...

Hey all.....I guess i'm one of the ones that dropped of the planet. LOL....my 3 yr old spilled a cup of sprite into the hard drive of our PC on Christmas Eve which is why I haven't been around. But i'm back now although a lot more limited with the time I can spend. Also....I changed my look a smidge...

wow...now that is really odd....I've actually never seen that before!

Unless she is talking about maybe seeing chords notations written above lyrics on a lead sheet. That's really the only time i've seen it used. And in that sense it's actually used quite a lot.

I have to disagree with you guys on this one. Some piccolos are definitely easier to play than others. Yes, it will take some development time to really get good at playing piccolo, but in the end how much you pay for an instrument and what your ultimate goals go hand in hand. I have found from my ...

I still haven't been able to load an avatar......i'm not sure what the problem is since everyone else was able to get their's back up and running.....

LMAO.....now that IS dangerous! If I ate something greasy right before a performance I would miss it......i'd be in the bathroom! LOL......not that you were advocating it or anything....I just thought it was pretty funny. Whatever works for you....go ahead and rock it

LMAO....again.... All i'm going to say is that bananas are delicious and nutricious....if someone wants to eat a banana before they play to combat nerves it can't hurt them....unless they are diabetic. This isn't the kind of misconception that needs to be beaten into the ground because it's perfectl...

LMAO....what a great idea for a thread! I have so many but i'll just share 2. The first one was way back in high school....I think it was my junior year. First of all.....I have to preface by saying that although my high school band director is to this day (10 years later) one of the people that I l...

Scroll up Phineas....I DID express my opinion.....try reading before going on your tangent.

And yet a single word is all it takes to completely change the meaning of a post. You may find it ridiculous, but I like to be sure that anyone reading these threads in the future has an accurate thread to read. The problem with this statement is that you are assuming that the people reading it are...
