I rediscovered my love for the flute this past month. I chose music, prepared, rehearsed and practiced like crazy for a recital with my good friend at the piano. We decided to hold the recital to raise money for my Children’s Choir’s trip to Festival 500 this coming July. Delving deeply into a flute sonata after many years of playing a lot of church hymns, offertories, Preludes and Postludes in church, was a very enriching experience.

My understanding of music, melodic line, phrasing, and amazing writing is at a much deeper level than back when I was studying flute between the ages of 18 & 23.
