This is where I heard a song while testing some stereo equipment near my flute/piano setup- grabbed my flute and started to jam. I went woah- grabbed my phone to record- not perfect but not too shabby. If I would have planned- it would have been a mess after several hours of attempts. So voila- my FFI (period) 😊

I uploaded the backing I-V backing track to YouTube so you can change keys with the Transpose extension: https://youtu.be/UXJUv9UPIus

I give away a free private lesson each month to the winner of the introductions contest! Most likes from the community wins... Congratulations @Sue Lenssen for winning April! This May, let's improvise simply with our voices: "I improvise!" Take the phrase "I improvise," and make a short recording improvising with your voice! How can you change the pitch, volume, rhythm, or other elements of music to make it your own?! PS - this gives you a chance to discover the feature of attaching an audio recording to a comment here in Skool!

This is definitely not my best playing, but I am so thankful I was able to play at my Grandmas graveside service. I hope I am not oversharing, but I played while they were lowering her into the ground. I was having a hard time not crying while I played so that made it hard to get a good sound and stay in tune, but it was a blessing to be able to play her favorite song. I am thankful for Vic’s teaching which allowed me to play without music. After the video, the first photo is my mom, me and my 80s hair, my grandma and grandpa. The last photo is me with my siblings and grandma, a few days before she passed. She lived a wonderful 96 years and I am so grateful for her.

In listening back to this I loved the funky syncopated rhythms. I wished I could have gotten more volume, but I was as close to the mic as I could get. I think I asked a min after that if I could get a boost on the sound board. Good enough!
