Can anyone tell me where to get a recording of this?

I'm glad I've found this thread. I'm going to perform this recital and have been trying to research information about the peice and why/what inspired it but I havn't been able to find anything. I was hoping someone knew? I have this this interpretation in my head, I was wondering how similar it was :P

I bought it through my teacher who actually helped designed it. For me upgrading to it from a CY cut [blahhhh] REALLY helped my projection. I love the headjoint, It is really capable of beautiful sound. It is new and my teacher and I discuseed that not all are exactly the same since its a rather new...

YES, it IS beautiful...the only thing i would change is having an oboe in opening statement...lol thats just cuz our oboe player wasn't really aware of pitch... but im sure it sounds great with a good oboist.

Yeah USC is a good school, I'm just worried about the area over there....*scary!!* I've never heard of Colburn though, sadly, thanks for the suggestion I'm going to look into that for sure.

If there is anyone out there who does like this headjoint I am trying to sell it and I am willing to sell it considerably cheap. lol so just pm me if your interested...

Thanks

I have a masterclass with her soon and I was wondering if anyone has studied with her or know what she is like.

Thanks =D

If it's not my imagination, I've also noticed differences when different people play the same instrument too. I wasn interested in the Maramatsu but heard someone play one & it sounded terrible, airy & strained to me so perhaps I made a hasty judgement call just by listening to that one person. The...

So one of my biggest problems when I play is relaxing. More specifically my throat is probably the worst of it- it leads to vocalization sometimes :( I'm getting really frustrated because the WORST part is sometimes I can't hear myself doing it- which is another big problem. I can't afford to see a ...

So does anyone know of any good concerto competitions open to everyone in california? I tried googling it, but I gave up because I just got a bunch of ones who are open to only counties and what not. The only one that I know right now are the NFA competitions but I can't really afford to travel out ...

In California, we have several all state bands- there is one run by CBDA, Cal Poly, and a northern section also- if anyone knows for sure please correct me!] but in CBDA they take the top 8 best flutists and then the bottom 12 or so are from schools who submit the most tapes...so those from podunkvi...

Is there anyone who recommends any particular contrasting pieces for a college audition that are not very common but would still be effective?




Thanks

Does anyone have a list of like their top 5 music colleges for flute....besides conservatories...in the country?...in California? If you do, can you tell me a who the teacher[s] is/are?


Thanks
