I started playing flute when I was 11.

I'm almost 40...but there was a LONG period, about ten years, early 20's to early 30's, when I had no interest at all in playing flute or anything else, and basically didn't touch the instrument except to play a few melodies off of movies, things of that nature.

So most 40-year-olds who started when they are 11 can outplay me with one hand behind their back. That said, though, I have a lot of fun, playing in sessions is a blast, keeping flutesite.com up has been great fun, and my ongoing obsession with Irish traditional music keeps me sane (while likely driving everyone around me crazy at the same time).

I mostly do my own work on my flutes and I'm better than average at working with pads and regulation, if I do say so myself.

Best wishes,

15+ Years

I started out playing music when I was 6 playing Cello. Then I started playing Guitar when I was 7. (I am 38 now). I did not start getting serious about playing flute till I got grown. Primarily because I went to public schools, and there was a stigma about boys who played flute. Flute started out as a past time, then about 8 years ago, I got to be a higher level player, and decided to pursue it professionally.

My how time flys!!!!

I started in 5th grade and am now in 11th, so I'm now working on my 7th year and have loved every minute of it.

A bit over six years. Sometimes I was really serious about. Othertimes, things like clinical depression made it very difficult to play at all.
