Thanks! Reminded me of some that I love, and ideas to listen to others I've never heard. Exactly what I wanted!

Hey y'all, decided to catch up on my listening this summer, so I've been taking the time to sit and enjoy my classical collection. Just finished 1812 overture and, as usual, I had goose bumps throughout the performance. My normal "goose-bumpy" pieces include: 1812 overture Rite of spring Ride of the...

Wonderful! That is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much!

Hey everybody! Haven't been here for a while, and I'm surprised at how little discussion there is lately. I'm glad the old regulars are still here, which is who I want to address my question to ( alto I don't mind anybody else chiming in too)! Question -- exactly what is the reason to practice harmo...

Hmm ... just listened to it. I prefer solos that have a distinct melody line, but thanks for the suggestion!

I am so angry over this story that I wanted to share it as a warning for the flute community! I have friend who wanted a really good hand made instrument. She had purchased a gold headjoint from a very well known flute maker (I will not slander his name here but if you want to know who he is, PM me)...

My two favorites that I've done in my last two recitals are "hysterical penguins" and " ... and the strange unknown flowers". Both have lots of color and emotion. Also love most...

Night soliloquay is really neat

It was very frustrating. Then a fellow student told me that she thinks of the colors as vowel sounds rather than colors...

::sigh:: that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the reply! Now if I can just stop coughing .... lol

Does anyone know an alternative and or fake way to produce the flutter tongue sound? I cannot roll my R"s to save my life and growling in my throat simply makes me cough! Any ideas??????

I'd be interested in an opinion also. Thought about purchasing before but never got around to it.

Both are pretty well known repertoire and if played well would be good audition material. Good luck!

Hey y'all! :) such a nice welcome! I hope y'all listen to the hysterical penguins and let me know what you think. It is SO cool! It goes up to E4!!!!!!! I ordered "and the strange unknown flowers" today to start working on pieces for my next recital. Thought that one was really neat too. Just hope I...
