By the time I got to the Paris Conservatoire I was very good at the scales and arpeggios.
Scales played in the correct musical way are very exciting and rewarding.
You cannot prepare enough for anything.
Everyone who plays the flute should learn singing.

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.
