Has anybody else heard about the BBC - Play It Again events? (UK only)
Is anybody going to one, or have they already been to one?
I'm going to the one in Leeds, on the afternoon.
Anybody going?

For my music GCSE, i have to compose something. Iwas considering writing a jazzy duet for flute and piano. But does anybody have any tips for writing a jazz piece, ie,which harmonys sound jazzy, which notes to include/avoid, that sort of thing?

Anything would be helpful!

Thank You

Does anyone else feel that the "... ..." should not be here on this forum? Is there someone with the ability to delete topic who is willing to? There are many young children on this forum and this is totally wrong, and i'm offended that people would post such stuff !!

Is there a special sign for flutter tongue-ing, or does it just say "flutter tongue?"

So in your opinon, what is the best flute for you?

I'm fairly new at playing the flute, but was just wondering what flute people thought was the "Best Flute Ever"? Or if people think a certain brand seems to just produce "better" instruments?

We can get back into music now (YAY (and it's been painted a bright red colour too)), so music lessons are back on, oh how i missed them.

What's Circular Breathing?

Is it when you breath in through your nose and out of your mouth simultaneously??

Yes, on a clarinet you have many fingerings for lower notes so you don't have to move your little finger really fast, but can use both of your little fingerings for ease of playing. But if it is just one low note on its own, you can pick which finger to use, i suppose its similar for flute.

I also play clarinet (Bb) and have just gone to try this out with a tuner. As i see it, When you see a C on the stave, you play the C fingering on the clarinet (very similar fingering to flute, when in upper register), but it says Bb on the tuner. Perhaps it's because the fingerings are the same but...
