I do agree that playing an etude with a metronome is a good idea.

I think too much is spoken of playing things slowly.

I have always bought modern flutes and enjoyed playing them.

Yes indeed I have gained a lot out of playing scales and etudes.

I do not consider my self as having mastered the flute, but I get a real kick out of trying.

Never just run through a study because you happen to be familiar with it, but use it to see what you can get from it on this new day which has been granted you.
