Re: Please recommend me some Beautiful Flute Concertos!

I love me some good flute concertos. :) I personally really enjoy the Ibert Concerto and the Khachaturian Concerto. The Khachaturian is originally a violin piece, but Jean Paul Pierre arranged it for flute. It's an amazingly difficult piece, both technically and musically. Keep in mind that the enti...

Re: Best Player

Emmanuel Pahud is an absolute beast and probably my favorite, but I also really enjoy listening to Carol Wincenc, Greg Pattillo, James Galway, and Denis Bouriakov. They are all great, great players.

I would suggest playing a section out of the Mozart Concerto in G. Just a thought: Something in a minor key would appeal to me more than a major key as long as it didn't get too weird. If you did this, look into playing something out of the flute transcription for the Khachaturian Concerto. It's act...

Low register help

Hi! I'm having trouble getting the 'pop' I want in the low register of my flute. I play on a Yamaha 584. I would really appreciate if someone could post anything that could help improve it other than getting a new flute. Thanks!

High School Flute Competitions

Does anyone know of any high school flute competitions that have cash prizes? National competitions or Texas competitions would be the best.

Re: Double tongue

Double tonguing is a very important skill to master for any flute player. Like most other things, it takes a lot of practice to do well. When I first began to learn how to double tonguing, I was in the same situation you are in right now. I couldn't tongue more than a few notes without getting an od...

The only ones that I'm aware of are Amy Porter at Michigan, ...
