I am 1st chair 2nd flute in my band. And 1st flute in marching band. There's not much of a difference difficulty wise between first and 2nd flute.

Thanks for all the information everyone! I didn't exactly get to pick my new flute out, because my mom and dad bought me one for Christmas. I got the new Armstrong 800b. It's quite good too. It costed them just as much as a yamaha, and it sounds rly good, so i'm not dissapointed. It has a gold lip p...

hiya, I have braces. It wasn't very difficult to start back up on flute. It won't take long for your mouth to get better, only around a week. It does take a little while to get your embrosure to where you were able to play before the braces, but if you practice alot it will probably come easy. Don't...

It's always hard to have a band director like that, believe me I know. You just have to stay calm. You might as others have said want to approach him and ask him calmly ! It's not good to get in a fight with him or her on account of it could affect your grade, even though it shouldn't.

Thankyou so much for the info! and its nice to see someone else here is my age hehe. I am very excited about my flute, that is getting repaired, I think I have an Armstrong. I am so excited about getting a new one. I love the flute I have been playing flute for almost five years, also piano for a ye...

hi everyone! I'm 14 and i'm in 9th grade. My band director said from the way I play I should get a new better flute. I don't know what kind of flute I have :? I have a couple of questions that may sound stupid. What's the difference between a Inline G and offset G and a c foot and b foot? sry if the...
