    I think the main problem is that with the flute you can’t SEE what the fingers are doing, you can only FEEL it and I don’t think I am quite there with the FEEL of each note. So for the scales I have to visualise the whole scale as it looks in the music and then play what I see but in my mind’s eye (with some of the trickier scales). I wonder if there are any flute players out there who have any suggestions as to how to coordinate the fingers and the notes in the most efficient way (from memory). Is it once again simply a question of practice, practice and more practice?

There's an LIVE component too! (for educators)

If you’d like to explore some of the most essential skills and techniques in the course live, with a cohort of curious, thoughtful, supportive, and like-minded educators (and a few mildly irreverent or benevolently sarcastic folks mixed in to make sure we don’t get too serious), that’s also an option!

Starting Thursday, February 3rd, we’ll meet via Zoom once a week, and go through selected strategies related to effective practice, managing nerves, and achieving flow states under pressure. We’ll do some in-class playing experiments (don’t worry – you’ll be muted!), short weekly homework assignments, and small-group breakout sessions to help you integrate these new skills into your teaching.

This 6-week live course is normally $199, but is available at 50% off the regular cost when bundled with Beyond Practicing. For more details about the live course (and dates) CLICK HERE.
