The website simplyflute.com provides both free and subscription materials to help flute players and teachers on their respective journeys.

The key is understanding how a student thinks and what is blocking them from doing certain things. Do not try to be like teacher or another player you admire as you will never achieve your goal.  Try to be only like yourself!

In this week's 'Talking Flutes Extra' Jean-Paul dials in to Paris to speak with popular social media flutist and performance boundary pusher Daniela Mars.  In a wide raging talk, she explains how you should trust your own judgement when putting performance videos up online as to ask too many others often leads to conflicting advise and inner confusion.  Also how she always wanted to push boundaries with her practice and performances and got very confused when she was studying, with the conflicting advice from players and teachers on how to play Bach and Mozart.  "Every piece of music I had, would have previous performance comments (by teachers) rubbed out and replaced with a different preference...so confusing!!  Daniela also speaks about her conflict in playing Ian Clarke's 'Zoom Tube' in a morph suit on YouTube and whether to show her face at all during the piece.
Next week Clare returns with her 'Talking Flutes' podcast where she is once again in dialogue with Jean-Paul answering listeners questions.

Two movements, the 'Rondeau' and the 'Aria' from the beautiful and haunting flute piece Suite Antique by John Rutter is this week looked at by Clare Southworth in her 'Talking Flutes' podcast
Composed in 1979, this concertante work by John Rutter  is written for harpsichord, flute and string orchestra. Rutter composed the piece, in six movements, for a concert at which Bach's fifth Brandenburg concerto was to be performed, and so decided to write the piece for the same ensemble.  The Suite is made up of six movements ranging from `a Bach-like Aria' to a 'Richard Rodgers-style Waltz'. Rutter's own style comes forth most strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically forward-driving rhythms and beautiful melodic lines. Evoking an 'antique' spirit, each movement is based on a Baroque or Classical style.

61. Articulation for the flute player - Clare Southworth

Tonguing and articulation is such a large and fundamental subject to flute playing that 'Talking Flutes' host and Professor of flute at the Royal Academy of Music in London Clare Southworth was originally unwilling to record a podcast on such a complex area. 
With so many variables depending on the piece, what the performer is wanting to emphasise, speed vs clarity, notational length etc Clare's reluctance was based around what can be put across in a podcast of acceptable length. This is where your emails come in. So many of you have requested information and guidance on this subject that Clare has relented and has recorded this brief look on the complexity that is articulation.

Psychiatrist Dr Roelof Joe Stammeijer has a coffee and a chat with his mum, Flute professor, soloist, author and rather fine golfer Clare Southworth-Stammeijer on the subject of stress and mental health for the musician.  As the surname suggests, Dr Stammeijer is Clare's son, and also was a flute player himself so is fully aware of the day-to-day inner struggles that musicians face.
As Clare says at the end of the podcast, never suffer in silence.  Everybody has good days and days when they do not feel as good. This is natural, however if you find the regularity of the low days increasing, and you are beginning to feel extremely low, then if you can't emerge from the clouds, seek help from your local doctor.  Thankfully in 2019, it is not a sign of weakness to accept that at times we are stressed, extremely low and may have some deep inner issues.  It's a sign of weakness when you don't seek help!
Talking Flutes Extra podcast returns next week with an interview with Hollywood film flute player, social media influencer and founder of the 'Glow With Music' project Gina Luciani.

43. 'In Ireland' by Hamilton Harty - Clare Southworth

Big tunes, drunken dances, romantic interludes and light, fast running sections.
This week on 'Talking Flutes', Professor of Flute at the Royal Academy for Music in London Clare Southworth takes one of her recordings of the the wonderful 'In Ireland' by Hamilton Hardy and breaks it down for the listener.  Not only is this a fabulous piece, but Hamilton Hardy lived and worked in the beautiful English town of 'Hove' in East Sussex, the same place where Clare now 'lives'.  
Sir Herbert Hamilton Harty (4 December 1879 – 19 February 1941) was an Irish composer, conductor, pianist and organist.
After an early career as a church organist in his native Ireland, Harty moved to London at about age 20, soon becoming a well-known piano accompanist. The Musical Times called him "the prince of accompanists". As a composer he wrote throughout his career, many of his works being well received, though few are regularly performed in the 21st century.
In his career as a conductor, which began in 1904, Harty was particularly noted as an interpreter of the music of Berlioz. From 1920 to 1933 he was the chief conductor of the in Halle orchestra in Manchester, which he returned to the high standards and critical acclaim that it had enjoyed under its founder, Charle Halle.  His last permanent post was with the London Symphony Orchestra but it lasted only two years, from 1932 to 1934. During his conducting career, Harty made some recordings with his orchestras but began to suffer the symptoms of a brain tumour. After surgery, he resumed his career until 1940, but the tumour returned to cause his death at the age of 61.

31. From baroque to uptown funk! - Jean-Paul Wright

A longer than usual podcast giving a brief overview through my own eyes of four days spent at the worlds largest flute convention, the National Flute Association of America, this year held in Orlando.  
A huge shout out to every flute player I met, tested flutes with and more importantly, laughed with.  The thing about the NFA is that you get the world's best flute players performing and mixing with everybody and the 'vibe' is very laidback and super friendly. Everybody has time for you.  So the bottom line is put it on your 'Bucket List' of things to do.  2019 Convention is in Salt Lake City and 2020 in Dallas.  Check out the National Flute Associations website for more details www.nfaonline.org
