Piccolo (one octave higher than concert flute) Concert Flute (standard) Alto Flute (one fourth lower than concert flute) Bass Flute (one octave lower than concert flute) Anybody played Contrabass Flute??

This is my favorite way to practice now!

I’m working through overcoming the resistance to playing. I honestly almost feel like I’m through it which is nice. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel of this moody return to my music chapter. I was leaving for a flight to family vacation early the next morning and I had friends over and I had to pack and I could see a whole week slipping through my fingers without playing again so I just sat down and made these. My flute is slowly creeping back up the priority list of my busy life. And for that, I’m grateful. I like how I smile and interact with the fly on my face musically. Next time I’d like to use more articulation and silence.

Thought I'd share this flute improvisation. I'm happy with flute, but disappointed I got an echo on the voice in the recording. Oh well, good practice anyway. I like how I started the flute low & slow and built up to the higher notes later in the song!

I am playing for a benefit this weekend, and I need a new mantra. “ People will laugh at me and wonder what I am doing up there” isn’t helping much!
