I think too much is spoken of playing things slowly.

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

I have always bought modern flutes and enjoyed playing them.

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

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.

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