I will only take your money if you really want to give it to me!
This community is free. This information is important! Please participate by being a supportive audience to your fellow Flutarians. I tested Improv Games for free until flutists started asking me how they could pay me. So then I started accepting payments for group classes and private lessons. Almost all of my events are free to drop in to! Here's where you can make a donation if you've been to Improv Games and you loved it so much you want to tip me. Here's where you can subscribe, if you want to be like the cool Flutarians who've already committed to showing up at least once a week. If you subscribe now, you'll get private lessons too. Check here to see if the subscription with private lessons is still available.

Yall need some help with your intervals.๐ŸŸข๐Ÿ”ต๐ŸŸฃ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸ ๐ŸŸก(Each one has a unique color.)๐ŸŸก๐ŸŸ ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸฃ๐Ÿ”ต๐ŸŸข I've noticed that sometimes in Improv Games, we are only making a D+ on intonation. (Squeaking by with a 65%.) I want for all of you A+ Intonation. Here is the solution: I added a new interval workshop to the calendar for third Thursdays at 10am. This will be 60 minutes of 5 min each with each interval. This will not be as fun as Improv Games. This is some real, deep, down to earth slow practice getting to know all twelve intervals intimately. If you make it through the first 60 minutes, you can join us for a simple jam afterwards for about 30 min. Don't come if you don't want to have perfect intonation. Will you join me live, catch the replay, or put it on your calendar for next month on the Third Thursday??

Sure. Great, thanks! - Though I do have a dental appontment this week. So for me will have to start next month...
Here's the direct link to the I-V backing track!
Here's the direct link to the I-V backing track! Download it and listen to it on repeat. Use it with the MusicSpeedChanger to play it in any key! I use this backing track every day, and in almost every lesson. If you can't gain some mastery over one chord change, how can you expect to feel masterful with many chord changes? For this reason I recommend practicing with this one until it feels "easy!" before complicating things too much. It lives in this folder of foundational chord changes backing tracks, which lives in this folder of all of the backing tracks, which lives in this course in the classroom of Flutarians resources. This link also contains the "FLIPS" -which is your chance to track your progress and give me feedback after each Live games session! Happy practicing! Remember to post your progress recordings in the ๐ŸŒŠImprov Waterfall!

Thanks!
When was there last time you improvised with the I. & V. Chords?
I hope it was recently or soon to be! You can get this backing track in the BackingTracks & Resources course in the classroom!

It was great fun doing that tonight (3/16/26). I was familiar with a I IV V progression, but this threw me and I really had a challenge to listen for the change rather than remember where it was coming up. Thanks!

There was a bit of a glitch with the recording. I like that I explored more notes. I didn't like that I didn't support a couple of notes and I was a bit sharp on a couple of the notes.
