A linguistic lesson for you. Here in London we have a form of English known as cockney rhyming slang. A cockney is someone born within one mile of St. Paul's cathedral. Instead of saying the word, a word is said that rhymes with the word. For example, the "stairs" become the "apples and pears" . The wife, the trouble and the strife. But to make it more complicated, only the first word is said, for example "apples" presuming the other person understand the rhyming slang. There's thousands of them. There's even a dictionary available. The reason I'm telling you this, there's a flute involved. Someone will say, that's a nice" whistle and flute ". An article of men's clothing. What do you think that is? Of course, A suit. But the person will say only the first word," that's a nice whistle. So there you have it. Bet you're glad you know that, now. Noel
My first time touching my flute in a year and a half because of covid and I'm trying to memorize all my marching pieces in one day to prove to my band director that I deserve the piccolo this season
Thank you for this video. I really like the practice “smart” tips. I was wondering, would you ever make a video of recommendations on pieces to learn for different levels? (Especially for those of us who are self-taught ) or lesser known composers you would like people to know about? Thank you and have a great day.
I'm very happy keeping up with your videos and suggestions, and it's amazing to see how your production quality has come along. I'd like to say though that the muzak you have playing in the background is super distracting --- I know you're trying to make your videos more exciting, but trust me, they already are ;) ---you don't need to sound like an infomercial! ....You've helped me tons on the journey. Happy music making!
Hey Tats! Nice to see you posting again. All is fine on my side.. I will be in touch with you soon regarding what I promised. Peace! P.S. Don't hate on your beginnings.... you wouldn't be where you are had it not been for them! :-D
Im a beginner and need help transferring from b flat to c is impossible for me oftentimes it would almost fall because only 1 button each end lol, can you please suggest a technique to deal when transferring any notes to c.
Now you are overdoing it. The effects are pretty distracting, and the background music is, er.... I can't imagine many people who watch your videos like this kind of backdrop, being active musicians....

I ❤ that I'm not the only one whose music stand is bent on the edges
you rock
So when I play the flute, I start out good. But, when I switch notes, it’s like the sound vanished. Any tips or a video you made about that?

darn, where ARE those post-its? thanks for pointing out these things. I thought I was practicing smart, but yeah, I can do better.
6:32 My surroundings find my flute playing distracting...and it can be hard to get my attention for things like dinner, let alone text me
I do love and enjoy practicing but I haven't in quite some time. Hope you're well. I think you know who this is. x0
