  • how old are you?

  • 15. 16 in november.

  • to tell u the truth, most of the videos that i have posted on utube, are kind of mindless improv. pretty much, i practice a lot and i know what sounds good,. i use the basis of scales for the progression, and these videos are what came of it. click subscribe and in the next couple of weeks ill put some more serious vids on here. thanks for the comments.

  • I have played the flute for 1 year and I have to change to Tenor in 7th grade. I was wondering if the fingerings are similar in any ways. Also, if you can please tell me what type of reeds I should use since I am going to start.

  • i dont play flute as of now, i play sax and clarinet, but i have messed around with the flute. i have been told that the fingerings are very similar though. to start, i recommend vandoren traditional 2.5 reeds. dont get a rovner ligature (the leather ones) unless it has a metal plate where the reeds go. i had one for my concert band mpiece, and the leather seemed to dampen the tone. so probably stick with the stock ligature
