Scales played in the correct musical way are very exciting and rewarding.
I do not consider my self as having mastered the flute, but I get a real kick out of trying.
Yes indeed I have gained a lot out of playing scales and etudes.
It is normal to be nervous.
I have to report to those of you who think diamonds make a difference that I cannot tell what it is. Seriously, as you all know, they make no difference at all. They just make the flute look a little more special.
Being unprepared heightens nerves.
