I've called a time out. We had to move suddenly due to conditions in Beirut. Now we're back in the US. Once things get sorted we'll have more music up. Happy 2009 to all!
Flute Teacher: Michele Sahm taught me in a course called "Class Flute" in spring 1976 at Boston University. She was only 25 but her spirit was that of a much older person. She passed away in 1988. Here is a Boston Globe obituary and an interesting memorial statement from a fellow student at New York City's High School of Performing Arts.
Flute: Muramatsu CF4 (I think), made in 1980. Bought used from Flute World. I'm very happy with it. Couldn't survive without it. But the upper register is very ornery; I get better results with an old Gemeinhardt.
I listen to: James Galway Pat Metheny Murray Perahia
Players and singers with little or no vibrato: Rachel Podger, for example Baroque ensembles: King's Noyse; Il Giardino Armonico Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares Take 6 Chanticleer
Crossover Pop: Jeffrey Osborne Patti Austin Janet Jackson Early Tower of Power (of course) Earth Wind and Fire (of course)
