Gorgeous! Thank you! (That metronome takes me back to my parents' basement.)

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

haha on the metronome. I just love the sound and feel of it!

I thought I knew how to breathe ( In , then Out) til I took up the flute ... of course the answer is simple , SING the tune and the breathing, along with the phrasing, sorts itself out. Thank you for making the obvious , well, obvious .... and ending my playing always turning into Russian roulette.

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

Here's to a little more planning, and less Russian roulette! I think writing smart breaths into the tune when you first learn it is a shrewd move.

I love this tune . Such beautiful tone and amazing low notes !

[@johndriscoll8177]

Love it! I just got a Pat Olwell Pratten-style flute last week, and discovered your channel as a result. I'm still new to flute, and your channel has been immensely helpful. Thanks a million!

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

So glad this can be useful for you, John. And big congrats on your new flute!!

Thanks Shannon I can smell the vapours of Lough Key on your rendition of that toon

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

ha! Nice, Paul. There are probably also vapors from the linseed oil in there...
