The first side-blown flute I ever played was Erik's Vivaldi Minor. Within a week I got the breath control down. Those three flutes are on my wish list, but I'm getting the Oriental first. Either way, you can't go wrong with Erik.

I'm hoping to go too. Liz Carroll will be there too , as will many more.

Wow. That was very nice. Keep up the good work.

Marcus Hernon's Air. I tear up every time I hear it.
