Move your fingers as much as necessary! I thought you might like Tatiana's alternate perspective here on how much to move your fingers when playing the flute.

We’re rehearsing, ‘Daniel’ for my upcoming Interactive House Concert Series! I’ll be performing my originals followed by a set of classic rock with my talented friend, Michael on his beautiful Yamaha grand piano in his living room and with his friends and family. I am so excited for this new opportunity. @Vic Wheeler you give me more confidence in shaping my flute solos. How do you like my flute solo? We can play the game, how does it sound: happy or sad? or what emotion do you feel?

I just submitted this head shot to the Atlanta Flute Club. They are inviting me to teach a songwriting class March 14!! I’m so excited!! and they are going to promote me on their social media. I will get to set up a table at the exhibit hall to sell my merch too!! My class is called From Sound to Song: A Language-Based Approach to Flute Improvisation and Songwriting. Thank you to Vic and all you Flutarians who are so inspiring with such unique improvisation skills on the flute! What is your favorite headshot with your flute? lol!!

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!

Will you be joining us tonight at 6:30pm CT or tuning in for the replay?
