Play here. What will yours say? Post yours in the comments!! Here's mine: "Today I joined the Flutarians, a community of skilled flutists who believe that improvising can be easy, not scary. When I first started, I felt anxious - like a wolf caught in volcano. But now I am learning to improvise with ease and without fear. My tone feels more clear & expressive every time I play. Even Becky has started to notice! I am already improvising in teaching. I am an improviser! Every day I am becoming a more confident improviser. I trust my gut. With each improvisation I am letting go of fear. With each musical phrase, I am finding & expressing my unique musical voice. I improvise! I am committed to helping 20+ flutists discover their unique improv voice. I will not be defeated by the feeling of being overwhelmed; My future self is grateful to my present self for taking it one step at a time. I am a Flutarian, and I am improving my improvising!"

Metronomes can be boring! Why not practice your tunes with your favorite booty-shaking beats?😅

Click here to spin the Christmas Tunes Wheel.... Can you play the tune all the way through without stopping??? You can play this like the Chromatic Guess-It Game with yourself, like player 1 is the flute voice in your head, and player 2 is the flute voice in your body! Can you match up the notes you're physically playing with the melody you hear in your mind? Go as slow as you need to! But then, as you get more comfortable... can you speed up the chromatic scale segments to be so fast that the original tune can be clearly heard? When you can do this, you'll be well on your way to using chromatic scale segments as a jazzy technique!

Have you too heard this song flooding the airwaves in the grocery store, gym, & social media this year? It uses the "minor 2" chord, and it's the same four chords all the way through. I haven't yet added a song featuring the minor 2 to Flutarians Improvising with Chord Changes Wednesday Nights Live... Do you think this one should make the list for 2026? 🩰🪩🦄
