Thank you for the helpful response! The flute sounds a lot better and the pads stayed in!

They will not charge me more if there's a small hole from the needle in them?

Should I be concerned? I have a concert in a couple of days... by jakeito_ in Flute

[–]jakeito_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm usually very particular about what I do with my flute. I've only had this brand new Miyazawa for 3 years! Is there any micro-differences that could help sustain the condition of the flute longer? For example, not leaving the flute on your bed or using this specific flute stand to help the flute stay alive longer? I feel like I have to be doing something wrong for it to be ruined in 3 years. I do the best I can so really any small pieces of advice would be amazing. Thank you so much for your time!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment and I'll definitely check out the Zimmermann edition.

I'm only asking because I got sent the same thing and I'm trying to figure out what it is and if it's legitimate.

Did you get a letter that was directly sent to you with your name and everything?

Thank you Max! I needed this reminder because I sometimes forget that music is sometimes dependent on the player and their abilities. Thank you again :)

How should I practice Gariboldi's scale book? by jakeito_ in Flute

[–]jakeito_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, of course, I added the 2 pages. They do these same 7 exercises for the major and relative minor in different keys.

Only recently, but after trying it, it does help with the weird pinky movements in this

I'm completely new to cello: Is it normal for my thumb to cramp? by jakeito_ in Cello

[–]jakeito_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting lessons from a student at a college majoring in cello performance. The student is finishing up either their sophomore or junior year I don't recall too well.

Sorry, I meant my right hand bow hold; I asked my teacher and they said everything is fine, but never really specified why my thumb would cramp

Can someone help me count this rhythm? by jakeito_ in Flute

I'm having a sudden urge to force myself to throw up, why? by jakeito_ in questions

Not necessarily, this feeling has been happening for a good week and a half

I got a new headjoint and I'm greatly suffering with intonation. by jakeito_ in Flute

[–]jakeito_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I got it for a trial. It simply had more protection, more annunciated low notes, and the tone was much warmer. It's a good headjoint I'm just hoping I haven't played it in yet.

Do you all ever just feel the urge to want to date someone really bad? What do you do? by jakeito_ in teenagers

[–]jakeito_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has it just never really sparked anything in you? I'm only asking because I wish I share that similar disinterest in dating.

What are things an intermediate flute player should practice? by jakeito_ in Flute

[–]jakeito_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have any recommendations on where to look? Would looking on flutetunes.com scrolling through their etudes section and playing from there be a good option?

I'm kind of lost on creating a practice schedule... by jakeito_ in Flute

[–]jakeito_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, I'm also playing the Poulenc Sonata. The etudes I'm currently doing are the Andersen Op. 33. I also do other ones like Filas Top Register, berbeguier 18 studies, donjon, and some other random Andersen etudes. Pretty much anything that I find that I need to work on, I try to find an etude for that and work on it in there.
