@altosaxophoneist203 Your band director is preparing you for marching band which is the only place that flutes should be held parallel. If your band director said that it should always be parallel, I guarantee you flute is not your band director's first instrument.

@supermuzicgurl not what my band teacher said, and im swiching to flute, he said they never ever ever should be angled
