I think it is most important for a teacher to play the pieces and studies that are being played by the student.

I think studies are really important and shouldn't be compromised.

I have to report to those of you who think diamonds make a difference that I cannot tell what it is. Seriously, as you all know, they make no difference at all. They just make the flute look a little more special.

There is no way Top Wind can think that I am going to breeze in and buy a flute, so I can truthfully say that the flute I bought from them was intended for the general market.
