More Thoughts on Practice

I have written before about various ideas and styles of practice, including what I call “imaginary” practicing…that is to “play” an invisible instrument. It can also be a “stand-in” instrument, for instance, I like to use my glasses case. It’s a hard case, and I can place my hands on it like I was holding a flute.

This morning I ran across another blog on practice, that I feel is a good complement to my current series on practice.

So pop over to Flutelife Blog and check it out!

Happy fluting!

Book Review:

Here is the book that I wish I had found when I began to play flute!

Inside its covers you will find information on selecting a flute with detailed explanations of all those terms that are not already familiar. You will find answers to questions like “what is a C# trill key?” and “why would I want one?” You will find an amazing amount of information on technique and posture.


If you are serious about developing your skills as a flutist, this is a great book to have in your library. It may seem a bit technical, but it is well worth the effort to explore. Consider it a reference book to keep on your shelf.

Do you want to sound better?

Are you buying a new flute?

Do you want to take good care of the flute you have?                 

Would you like to improve your vibrato, phrasing or intonation?

Buy this book. NOW. You won’t be sorry!
