Re: High Eb goes sharp
开云体育LouisOne thing I’ve noticed is that what works for you may not work for others and visa versa. If the overblown fingering works, use it. The other thing is that to many folks look for perfect pitch and forget the emotion. Sometimes a slightly off pitch note can add to the music. Use your ears. Good luck. Find your own salvation.

Re: High Eb goes sharp
开云体育this is a very interesting subject. I don't think you'll run into trouble. Of course, I have only been playing the flute for 22 years. I'm self taught. I've literally mastered white room by cream on flute. It's not easy to play. Specially when you get to the bridge. The notes are easy enough, but it takes a lot of air. I'm gonna play that tomorrow for my mom. By the way, there are some notes that I can split, which is really cool, especially when it comes to the E flat. Splitting the E flat is easier than struggling with the Baroque method of doing the E flat. I've tried the Baroque method of the E flat several times, but I just can't get it. Splitting notes is easier. The more notes I can split, the better. I can split my E flat, and my height and middle D.On Sep 12, 2023, at 11:19 PM, Louis Bertrand via groups.io <louis@...> wrote:

High Eb goes sharp
Hi everyone! Today while practicing scales with my electronic tuner, I noticed that my 3rd octave Eb (the one with all the keys down) went sharp by 20 to 30 cents. I can bring it down by directing the air stream lower into the hole after a bit of trying, but it makes going to that note extra complicated for playing fast. However, I tried _not_ putting all the keys down, and just kept the middle octave fingering (left #1 up), while speeding up the air until the octave popped and it was perfectly in tune with an acceptable tone. Is this something that anyone else noticed? If I keep the middle octave fingering, am I going to run into trouble eventually? I'll mention that my flute is a Pearl Quantz, in case this is a known characteristic. Thanks in advance, ?--Louis Louis Bertrand

Re: learning martial arts
thanks Sandy. I'm glad you guys are inspired by my video. By the way, I sent you guys my YouTube link so you can check out my other videos that I've done. There's also a story in there where I actually talk about my experience with these three people. I do not mention their names. I am living a peaceful life now without them in my life trying to destroy it. I don't care what anyone says. My passions are my passions, and that is how it will stay. I'm excited, because I'm getting four new figures on Thursday from the Hasbro collector series of 1999. Luke Skywalker, Biggs Dara glider, wedge Antilles, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Re: learning martial arts
开云体育I am very determined. If I want to do some thing, I'll do it. Especially if it's learning a new piece, mastering a martial arts skill, or really anything else in my life. If I have a passion for some thing, no one tells me to give it up, unless it is detrimental to my health. There is a perfect example of a story that I posted on my YouTube channel about three people who tried to force me to give up Star Wars. I was not having it. Aiah ?pushed back every step of the way. Eventually, they had to admit defeat. They were going to get nowhere with me. If someone forces me to give up some thing I enjoy, they're not going to get anywhere. I'm not gonna give up when I enjoy in my life, and that is my life to live. Star Wars is not affecting my health. Star Wars is not harming anyone else? And Star Wars most certainly is not illegal. .On Aug 14, 2023, at 4:02 PM, Amanda Shevitski via groups.io <amanda.shevitski@...> wrote:

Re: learning martial arts
开云体育thanks for the compliments you guys. I'm glad you were able to see my new story. I have a YouTube channel that I'm going to send now. I even demonstrate some of my martial arts on there. Yes, my instructor does allow me to throw him. Martial arts training. It's a lot of fun, great exercise, and it's a good addition to have with my work out at a small gym in my area.On Aug 14, 2023, at 2:10 PM, Judith L. Klavans <jlklavans@...> wrote:

Dear Group,
Speaking of youtube channels, I looked up our Amanda here, and saw that she's been doing martial arts training and was featured in a news story on youtube. Super interesting! Link: Good on you Amanda! I like the "works really hard and never gives up" quote! Best, Jen Amanda had written:? "When I've mastered it, I'll put a YouTube video of me playing it on my channel.

Re: learning martial arts
开云体育Thank you for that, Jen, I enjoyed hearing about it and actually putting a nice face to Amanda’s name. I have a feeling that Amanda is courageous in her life, even outside of martial arts, and we know she is determined! Good qualities to have in all walks of life.?Nancy In all too sunny Florida ?

Re: mis-read
开云体育that's neat Andy. Feel free to email me privately if you wish. By the way, I started playing the flute when I was 15. It didn't take me long at all to master this beautiful instrument. I still got a lot to learn, but I'm always willing to learn new things. Still working on pussy willows cattails by Gordon Lightfoot. When I've mastered it, I'll put a YouTube video of me playing it on my channel. In fact, I'll send you guys the link to my channel so you can check it out.?On Aug 14, 2023, at 3:29 AM, Andy Trimble via groups.io <g.andyt@...> wrote:

Yes, all of the different instruments are fascinating, and the blend of sounds that composers create are uplifting. We've been enjoying listening to the Sibelius symphonies, and last night we chose the 1st, played by the Finnish Radio Symphony conducted by Hannu Lintu. Interesting to hear the motif used in the Lord of the Rings. Got to love listening to Sibelius in winter! (Winter here in Australia...) Regards, Sandy (with ducks) -----Original Message-----

Amanda writes:myself as classically trained when it comes to piano or flute. I did take piano lessons for 15 years. And during this 15 years, I started learning the flute. I have played in piano and flute, recitals, and I've played with my high school band. I also play with my local church. It's pretty interesting when you hear the flute and the bassoon playing together. I have a friend, Sylvia, who plays the bassoon very well. There was another church I went to, and there was a woman that would volunteer her time, and bring her bassoon. When I asked if I could see her bassoon up close, she refused. Sylvia was more than happy to show me her instrument up close. She even went so far as to show me how all the pieces fit together. She even explained what the names of the pieces were. I even got the chance to see a French horn up close. I've seen many instruments in my time, including a clarinet, oboe, cello, violin, viola, French horn, and trombone. I even got to see a tuba once. the only instrument I've not seen up close is a saxophone. I've seen a trumpet up close, because my friend Adam plays one. -------------show me some things starting at her house, and then I would take it from there on my own at home. I also play in my local church. Both recorder and flute. I'm a fast learner. When someone plays some thing for me, and then it shows me how to play it, I can usually start the piece at the location where it's being taught, then take it from where the teaching left off at home. That's what I did with the Bach minuet when I was learning them on piano. I love playing Bach. I also know a couple of pieces by Edvard Grieg. Hall of the Mountain King, and Morning Mood. I also learned pussy willows, cattails by Gordon Lightfoot. trained, because I know a lot of classical music. I think that's what I mean. I'm kind of an amateur as it were. Although I've been playing the flute for 22 years, I'm still kind of an amateur. |

Re: mis-read
开云体育Nope. I meant both Mr. Galway and myself are classically trained. Mr. Anderson is not. In fact, he is self-taught. Mr. Anderson did not even pick up the flute until he was 21 years of age. It's amazing how Mr. Anderson uses the flute, and a totally different way from Sir James Galway and myself. It's pretty cool. Well, I'm having to write this email from my old iPhone. The iPhone that I had stopped working properly. Let's just say, I got a little too angry with it, and caused it to break. Accidentally that is. Sometimes, I don't know my own anger or my own strength sometimes. Fighting with Siri can be a real pain in the butt.On Aug 3, 2023, at 3:43 PM, Nancy Niemi via groups.io <nancyjniemi@...> wrote:

Re: profesh flutist? profesh classicist?
Hi Sandy,
What's a Mickey-take? And why would professional musicians in Oz never refer to themselves as such? Here in Canada we always say "professional musician" to indicate that our primary income and daily activity is performing for an audience. Otherwise it would be "amateur musician" (playing simply for the love of it, but doesn't expect to live off their musical earnings.) Jen |

Re: Are You Discouraged?
开云体育I love this quote too, Nancy.? Our band President also found this, turned it into a poster and put it on the wall in the Band Hall.? I always tell our learners that it doesn’t matter what you play, or how ‘advanced’ you are.? Playing the simplest of pieces adds music to the world and makes it a better place.? I don’t say, but it’s true, that playing extremely complex music to a large appreciative audience…adds music to the world and makes it a better place. ? Regards, Sandy (with ducks) ?
