I am thinking of purchasing 2 pieces of music; one song is called image, and the other, poem. I have never seen these pieces before, but I was wondering if any of ya'll have played them before, and inform me about if they're any good. I think I might play them next year for my lion's band tryout if ...

Well, a time to practice long tones could be when you're about to go to bed. NOT always, but sometimes. When I feel really tired, I just lay down on the bed and start playing. Also, if you're watching something on TV that's not quite interesting, or something that it is,(it really doesn't matter) ju...

Thanks everyone! I also find myself wondering if anyone here has completely gotten through a book by Brookes. There isn't any special title to it except the author's name. It is really hard, and even after 2 years, I'm still not off the 24th page!! Of course, that's just because I skip around :wink:...

By the way, where does everybody get those cute pictures that ya'll put up on your profile?

It was hard for me to go to high school. When I was in Jr. High, my band director had already told me from the beginning that I was better than any of his students he had ever had!(Big complement) :wink: , but that just made it harder to be in band the following year with a bunch of girls who didn't...

Hello! I am new to this website, but not new to flute. I have been practicing my scales more lately, and one day, I actually played the chromatic scale perfectly, and 8 times in a row. :D But I usually always find myself messing up at the turn-around. When I switch from the high C (C4) and start com...
