Hi again, I had a few questions about this piece in general... First, how do you do the trills- slow, fast, go to the note above or below? Are there any good examples of trills in sonatas (something that I could listen to) that I could use as an example to help me play them correctly. Second, How sh...

Hi all. I am working on Handel's Flute Sonata in F Major... I posted a video of it on youtube and I was wondering if any of you would be interested in going to the video page ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3ezSwd3a64 ) and telling me what you think. I hope to improve on this piece and I would app...

Thank you!

I have a question about this piece. For an auditon I am supposed to play "Mozart Concerto in G, first movement exposition" what exactly does that mean. What measures does that include or from where to where is the exposition. Thanks.

my pearl flute does this too... interesting to see that it is not uncommon.

Thanks all. this is good stuff to think about. to reply to nasxxx- for example if i was doing c major, 1-3-5 version, i'd start on low c and do c,e,g,c,e,g,c,e,g,high c, and back down... and 1-3-5-7 would be c,e,g,b,c,e,g,b,c,e,g,b,high c, and back down... 1-3-5-7 is always awquard for me sence the ...

go to sheetmusicplus.com ... see what was searched alot or what is recommended. maybe you can pick something random. or go to youtube, and search flute music there, find something that sounds good and then find a site to buy it. i dont know alot about flute pieces, so this is all i can recommend, bu...

For college autitions is it expected that you do your arpeggios 1-3-5 or 1-3-5-7. I've never had to do arpeggios at an audition, and in my lessons from different teachers I have worked on them both ways. I would hate to go in and play it one way, and for it to be wanted another way. On the website i...

i also play kind of in the corner... i think it came from playing with my flute slanted too low when i was a beginer. i asked someone i know that knows flute realy well about this a while back. she said to not worry about changing my face position (because i felt i had to have my lips perfectly cent...

I'm glad to hear the pearl is a good flute.
Thanks for the link to the other topic.
And the headjoint/mouthpiece makes sense. Cool stuff.

Thanks all... this is great advice. I have to get it from wwbw, since I can’t pay all the money at once, and they have a monthly payment plan. I bought my sax from there and it is still working fine 3+ years later, so I feel good with that site, although fluteworld seems like a really good place to ...

I am looking to buy a new flute. I was looking at a Gemeinhardt flute (http://www.wwbw.com/Gemeinhardt-Model-3-Flute-i10308.music ). It has a low b and open holes. My question is does the cost or the level of the flute really affect things that much. As long as the keys work, and it is made from a t...

yeah, i play sax too. primary instrument... well... i just finished my time at a comm. college. (plan on going to a 4 year in the spring) when i started (and in hs and jhs) my main instrument was the flute. i always liked it more, and was better at it. then durring my first semester at college i too...

that's totally it! i know i would enjoy the Fantaisie Pastorale Hongroise. i think that that and the Chaminade Concertino would be good for an audition. i am looking forward to learning more about this piece. thanks.
p.s. i love your signature quote.

it sounds cool. i'm not sure if it would work for me at this point in time... i guess i need something for a "classical" audition and i know i couldnt use accomp. of any kind. but it is a cool piece... but i suppose the search continues. but thanks for pointing this piece out to me.
