Shipshape and Bristol Fashion by Amy Webb - From a Piccolo/Flute’s Perspective

Performance from my school’s Music in Our Schools Month Concert

[@yazoosquelch7065]

I was searching for the scene in The Innocents (1961) where they say this classic phrase and somehow ended up here...and very glad I did. Now I feel like sailing the high seas!

[@amyjwebb7937]

Wow, you're doing a great job on the picc/flute part! It makes me happy to see people enjoying music.

[@elizabethwatkins7567]

Thank you so much! This song was so fun to play

[@chloe4166]

May I know what were you doing at the beginning ?

[@urfavpiscesmj]

i think she was just blowing warm air into her piccolo to warm it up.

[@elizabethwatkins7567]

some of the winds had a part at the beginning to make air wooshing sounds through their instruments, but it wasn’t loud enough, so I added it in

oh a picc with non black body, isnt it full of finger prints??? The flute is already a pain in the ass I cant imagine the picc being impossible to get all of it out

I’m a flutist and a piccolo player and from my experience metal piccolos are harder to sound good on than other kinds. Her playing was amazing!! She sounded so good and I hope to be as good as her someday. Also since piccolo is so small it’s very easy to clean.

[@elizabethwatkins7567]

Yeah, I just make sure to give it a good wipe down every so often and it seems to stay clean!

Saxes :(

[@aarohan.evades.taxes.]

In my opinion your articulation in the midddle section could be a bit lighter btw

[@elizabethwatkins7567]

They tryin their best lol 😭, we had 5 altos this year and one of them had to try and carry the whole section 😬

[@elizabethwatkins7567]

@@aarohan.evades.taxes.thank you for the advice! I can definitely hear that now. I was playing louder than I normally would because we were in a gym and the woodwind section is kinda thin 😢
