How does Music Theory compare, in your experience, to the difficulty of other subjects? I hope I break it down simply enough in the group improv sessions that you can use it expressively!

I haven't touched this piccolo in 6 months!!! What do you think, should I keep playing it? Want to hear more piccolo improv's? Get a bonus point if you name this song!

What's your favorite major? Don't worry... we will play Improv Games in C. Usually!

I thought you might get a chuckle out of this very modern comic of the Beatles! Tomorrow night at 6:30pm CT we'll play some Improv Games then do a highlight on Let It Be. Check the calendar & join us!

Don't give up on practicing a song until you've practiced it at least 100 times! Ideally listening to your recordings all the while. The first 10 times? Probably kind of 💩 The next 20 times? Probably awkward By the 30th time? You're starting to feel better By the 50th time? You're starting to reach cruising altitude By the 100th time? You've discovered most of the small problems that can occur. This applies to most areas of study, not just flute or improvisation! My next 💯 goal? going Live on YouTube. Now that I'm going Live every day (Sun-Wed) for the Atomic Flutist and sometimes after Improv Games for a mini-livestream-concert, I'll reach 💯 before the end of April. Things are starting to feel smoother! This rule of 100 is why I've chosen a limited number of songs to focus on each week/month. From my perspective, if you master playing along with 4 classic rock songs, you'll be well-prepared to improvise with nearly any song. How will you master it? Through guidance, trial and error, and mostly: repetition! So if you came to Wed Night Improv Games every week and stick around for the play-along with Let it Be, Hallelujah, House of the Rising Sun, and Hotel California, and you don't practice at all on your own, you'll still reach the goal of 100 after two years! I want my sessions to empower you to improvise just by showing up and participating... even if you rarely practice on your own. Of course, the more you practice and listen to your recordings, the faster you'll improve! 🤓 I will sprinkle in some Cosmic Butterflies songs and new songs occasionally for novelty. 😎 So... who wants to come to Wed Night Improv Games? Tomorrow we'll focus on Let It Be!
