Let there be flutes.... (1 Viewer)

[roxy]

To all the lads and lassies,

I just wanted to say that if any of you musician types ever felt the urge to experiment with flute in your music, then I'd happy to offer my flute-playing services. (Classical, not trad).
I started playing 6 years ago, and for most of that time I haven't attended lessons I must admit as I found them horribly restrictive and dull and found my teacher, prodigious and all as she was, very closed-minded. She's flippin well in her 80s by now I think. That can't help matters.

Anyway, I really enjoy experimenting with various sounds etceteraahhh.

I should have put this in the Musicians Available thread I know but it's rarely used so...

And I might add - please don't start with the jokes about hard flutes, blowing flutes, blowing hard flutes, cold flutes, wooden flutes...I've heard them all....

All my love

Roxy

parents own 2 of his LPs. Not good.

I feel like I'm being interviewed here.....I'm never taken a staggering interest in the work of James Galway, no more than anyone else. Obviously to be able to play like James Galway or bloody Trevor Wye would be great but I don't focus on that. My teacher did naturally and while she was pulling out my arms and grabbing my jaw, I was standing there wishing she'd just let me play the thing my own way. (it's not that I can't see why she was concentrating on technique, coz it's obvious but I just wasn't into it and once I knew how to make proper sounds I wanted her to leave me alone. ) I think I've bettered my sound through experimenting my own way.

I'm more into how the flute is used in other types of music, from Beastie Boys to Van Morrison, Moondance, I love that flute.

So anyways, yeah.

Leave the Best to Last

This is quite the most appalling rubbidge I've heard in days. I looked nothing like James Galway.

Mind you, if I had to look like a James it would have to be James Last. There's a game you can play, it's called "create your own James Last album". Typical titles include

- Leave the Best to Last

- Here Comes Paddy Last

- How Will I Make This Children's Allowance Last?

Now you have a try!
