I'd have to agree with what everyone ahead of this post has said, but keep in mind that this is your second year and that the basics may be down, but the music getting harder is the what will make it fun. Keep up the practice and I'm sure you'll do fine, oh, and if what you're talking about is anyth...

*hops from foot to foot* Wow, I'm on a roll tonight! Okay, pieces I love to play/have played: October Papillion (sp?) Honey Boys on Parade (at a tempo of 210 w/ only 16th notes, I loved it) Chance Variations (arranged by the one and only Mike Chripika of corse!) 007 Show done by the Cavaliers in 200...

*points to username* Take a wild guess. lol And I think there's too many things being thrown at male flute players, I have a friend who gave up the flute because he was being call so many things and so much bs was going on that he had too even though he could beat me in any chair test back then. :oo...

Flute ~ 6 years Picc ~ 3 years Recorder ~ Uh... I used to play it when I was 7 or so, I think I still have it somewhere around here... Piano ~ 2 years Harp ~ in a few weeks, being forced, but I don't mind too much But my two loves will always be the flute and picc, hands down they're my favs.

Personal favs, people tend to stick to what they like. I would also suggest the Trevor Wye, it help me with tone quality and was easy enough to skim to understand what the colors where ment to be. That and a few fun tunes to help along the way. ;) Other wise, easy things for begginers. Songs like 'M...

While everyone thinks about what its like to play the flute, the feeling, the emotions, ect, you have to remember the experience. A good example can be picked up by anyone who has marched a good show before, all that seems to happen is you start and the next moment, you're done. When you play someth...

You're never too old to pick up a new trick, and who ever said that old dogs couldn't learn new tricks was wrong. Not saying ya'll are old or anything, but that its never to late to learn. :wink: I love the flute and piccolo and think that those who take to playing the flute/picc at a later point in...

Wow, your child sounds like me not so long ago when I got my current flute that I am practically head over heals for. Ashley will know by now what she plans on doing in college, or a ruff outline of it. If she is playing in the top band of a school known for its bands, then you should look into some...

lol Personwise, yes, most trumpets around my school can be a bit... *thinks of decent word to use* Stuck up at times. Most annoying for me to listen to would have to be the oboe. *shivers* A good player sounds great, but around here, you're screwed. I know, I sat by one this past concert season. Two...

=S How do I even begin to tell my teacher that I want to try another flute... >_< 98% of her students play on the Yamaha YFL-684H. -.-" I originally wanted a Trevor James flute. >_< I have a TJ currently and plan on stepping up the the masters version in about a year or so. The flutes are very nice...

I had no braces for about the first week I started playing the flute, so I had the hard time of relearning it w/o them three years later. Braces are beaches if you ask me, only good to get away w/ chewing gum in class, but even so, all they do is teach you to: 1.) Adjust your mouth position to what ...

Well Claiken, don't feel bad about that. Not all people can get a picc to make any sound the first time they pick one up. It just takes time for everyone to learn to play. No worries

Ach! I hated those Trevor Wye tone books! But it did end up helping my tone quality. :roll: Well, Mai, you can also try working w/ you breathing of all things. We have to do this every day in band and I do it on my own when I practice. Take your metronome or use the one online, crank it up as loud a...

I've been recently thinking about where my picc has come from. I know that it is old and has played at quite a few different places over its years, but I still don't know WHO had it before me. Its been a good month and a half of searching and I've come up w/ little. Can anyone help me find out ANY i...

Dang, that costs more then my truck. (Wow, thats sad) But it is a really nice looking flute.... But you could always but it bit by bit or just save up the money for a car and use it on it instead. :cry: Ah, oh well, so my dream flute would cost a trunk load. I can still dream! *snatches dream and ru...
