My Choice Is.........................

December 21, 2006 at 8:58 PM

Thank you to everyone who contributed to my decission. I have choosen flute. Partially because my dad said I would have to practice trumpet and trombone in the garage. But I can already play many songs very well. It's a peice of cake. A walk in the park.

Ok, your officially condemed by the Church of Richard! Just Kidding.

When I had my flute I thought it was easy too. (Which I sold in August, or else I could have given it to you!) My main problem is which way to roll the flute to adjust the tuning. I still don't remember lol. I still like playing my Fife (not exactally a flute) for fun though!

the hardest thing right now is playing the really low notes and the really high notes.

I had trouble with that too. But my problem was playing the high notes in tune and the low notes loud.

Get rid of the flutey toot. It's got to be a saxophone if you want to blow in something.

I talked to someone who plays saxophone. He suggested that I not, only because it's not really an instrument that blends well with strings. It really only goes well with onther reed instruments.
