New flute player

Post by klucas »

Hello!

I'm new to this board and also to flute playing. I bought a flute (Yamaha 211) about 6 years ago and started taking lessons. I was getting ready to take my first flute exam but then my flute teacher moved away. My flute ended up in the loft and I forgot about it for a while. Finally got it down and found a new teacher.

I thought I'd join this forum to give me some motivation to keep going. I am not naturally musical and am finding it very hard!

Welcome Kori!

Good luck with your efforts.
It seems that hard work prevails over natural talent anyway

What ever you do, make sure you take your flute to a technician and have it checked out. When flutes sit for a long time, often the will get out of adjustment or develop leaks. This will greatly insure that you will have less pitfalls!

I do vocal coaching as well. I have taught people to sing that were completely tone deaf. I agree with Classitar, Genius is often mistaken for Hard Work!

Welcome to the board!

Thank you. I did get my flute serviced as I worried about it being up in the loft for so long. Luckily it didn't need much doing but they obviously did something good because I can now play the low C which I couldn't before!
