With some great podcasts coming up, it means that you will have much more regularity with her podcasts and without the long gaps between seasons.

The need to always be in the moment and to be fully aware of how you're standing, and of course feeling.
You can also send in questions for Clare to answer in future podcasts to flutepodcasts@gmail.com or via DM on our TJ flute Twitter, FB, Instagram and YouTube channels.

Another offering from the technical guru Mr Raif O'Poll who has spent the last year deliberating and researching new concepts for musical instruments. Following the great commercial success of the tandem baritone idea last year, Raif has spent 12 months deep in thought and discussion with saxophone players around the World.....(well truthfully speaking...in the local village really). Raif maintains however that the saxophone expertise running throughout the local community is an accurate mirror for the World sax market and has consulted experts including Mrs Bellandbow in the local Post Office to Ivor Crook in the flower shop. Even Mrs Reed and her daughter Toppa Fsharp apparently have added considerable input in to Raif's research! These podcasts are meant to be an amusing insight in to the various characters in our research and development department and also those who design and then set-up all Trevor James flutes and saxophones prior to their dispatch to customers around the world. After many requests from the Twitter and Facebook community, who are often amused at the various postings detailing the grumpiness and quite frankly 'odd' thoughts which emanate from our distinguished and qualified technical gurus, we have once again given in to social media demands by granting our technical workshop team some more 'daylight' and just a little public space in which to share their many words of wisdom as well as new design ideas. Finally and speaking with total honesty...we do actually like soprano and piccolo players and apologies to all those you actually thought we were serious!!!

On April 1st, not only did the Trevor James flute technical workshop record an audio spoof about a left handed flute, but they also devised and recorded an April fool about a straight baritone saxophone and posted in the many saxophone forums. Since being posted online it has outdone the left-handed flute audio in feedback and downloads! It is therefore only by request that we post an audio about a straight baritone saxophone on our flute page - and only because it is bound to put a smile on your face and let's face it, as musicians, a smile is so important!
The 'Talking Flutes' Podcast Recipe
The ingredients are very simple.
Take a leading flute player, author, golfer and Professor at the Royal Academy of Music in London (Clare Southworth) and mix with flute player, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Public Speaker and Managing Director of the world famous TJ flute brand (Jean-Paul Wright).
Interviews with world leading flute players including Sir James Galway, Jasmine Choi, Denis Bouriakov, Paul Edmund-Davies, Gareth Davies (too many more beautiful flute playing guests to mention in a single paragraph), and gently mix these together with some Grammy and Emmy winning musicians. Top with metal health awareness advice from Dr Joe Stammeijer and finish with some stunning music, laughs and plenty of fun.
