I recently had the honor of being a guest on Heidi’s Flute 360 podcast, and I was immediately struck by her warmth, kindness, and genuine curiosity. She has a unique ability to make her guests feel completely at home while guiding conversations that are both meaningful and inspiring. Heidi’s dedication to helping flutists, and musicians in general, discover their authentic voices is unmatched. Her podcast is a rich resource that goes beyond flute techniques, diving into professional development, entrepreneurship, and the human side of being a musician. Every episode feels like a heartfelt conversation with a mentor who truly cares about your success. If you’re a flute teacher, musician, or anyone looking for insight and inspiration in the music world, this podcast is a must listen. Heidi’s thoughtful questions, uplifting spirit, and wealth of knowledge make Flute 360 an invaluable guide. Thank you, Heidi, for the joy and wisdom you bring to our community, you are a true gem! - Demitris Maddox

I can honestly say Dr. Heidi’s podcast has changed my perspective on my career and my personal confidence as a musician. I highly recommend to all musicians, flutists and beyond!!

Flute 360 is a comprehensive show. It’s title means the content embraces any area that can hit a flutist or musician in today’s marketplace. What an amazing legacy of guests and topicsHeidi has given us! A quick search of the episodes can take you on quite a journey. It really is amazing how this doctoral dissertation project has grown to be such must listen for flutists and even non flutists alike. Heidi personally shares and gives so much of her life with everyone. The guests and Heidi’s individual shows give amazing value. She has a real heart to serve others. She is always full of contemplative thoughts and wisdom and always attempts to provide helps and encouragement for her listeners “pain points”. Many thanks to Heidi for her amazing work.

Whether you’re a student, an adult beginner, or a professional musician, Heidi has it all. I first started listening to her interviews for more insight on professors for my college applications and have stuck with her ever since. She has the biggest heart and is a huge light in the flute community!!

Only good things and positive energy have come into my life since listening to and interning for Flute 360. Heidi’s aura is infectious. I highly recommend this podcast and working with Heidi in some capacity!

I ‘met’ Heidi online about a year ago and have been following her ever since. As a formally trained musician turned lawyer then entrepreneur I sooo appreciate the valuable content in every episode of this podcast. Dr. Begay is a rare treasure….a must listen for aspiring musicpreneurs!!

I cannot stress enough how validating and helpful Dr.Begay’s podcast has been for me. She has answered so many questions I’ve had for years and has provided so much information and guidance that I wish I had known about in undergrad. I can’t recommend this enough!! If you’re waiting for a sign to jump in to the world of flute 360 then this is your sign!!

I like how Heidi has a healthy curiousity that leads to finding answers through her guests. The conversations are engaging and thought provoking. I almost always come away from her podcasts with something that makes me think, “Hmm, I never thought of it that way before.” Thank you Heidi for your hard work and success and for bringing us along with you!

I point fellow music-preneurs towards this podcast whenever they are hungry for advice, direction, or inspiration. Why? Because Heidi is a great listener who is on a mission to make her listeners’ lives better. She knows her audience, her guests, and herself well enough to succeed at this endeavor with integrity, humility, and joy. Whenever her content crosses my device, I think, “Wow, she's confidently walking in her God-given purpose and making real change happen in real people’s lives!” I hope to be someone who does the same, so that is why I tune in. Take a listen; if you’re able to pocket even a sliver of HKB’s joy, wisdom, heart for people, and faith, your life and career will automatically be better.

This podcast is an AMAZING resource! Rich with ideas about professional development, wellness, musicianship, and entrepreneurship, there is something valuable for EVERY musician. As a composer, author, educator, and violinist, I wish I had this resource earlier in my career. Heidi sets such an honest and welcoming tone in every single episode that challenges and inspires me to think outside the box and to be better. This podcast is bound to help positively shift the direction and conversation about curriculum that music schools are having at Universities across the country! ~Adrian Gordon
