So, even before the pandemic hit, I thought a really cool blog posting would be to talk about my regular “church gig” at St Philip the Deacon and why I enjoy it so much. Now I find myself, like my cohorts, with every public performance canceled for the foreseeable future.
I’ve taught many adult students over the years. I regularly work with other professional flutists who perform in smaller orchestras, who are teachers, or who are just starting out in their careers. I love getting into the intricacies of topics like pedagogy, peak performance, or the subtle nuances of phrasing and tone color with them. But adult students who are amateurs have a special place in my heart.
I thought I would post today about how a regular fitness regime has helped me in my daily life and in particular as a professional musician. This has become more important as I have gotten older and find I can’t bash my way through practicing and through life without serious repercussions the next day!
I am pleased to announce that my new CD, "Songs and Dances for Solo Flute," is now available everywhere for download, streaming and purchase as a CD!
