S5 Ep 12 Storytime: The WIlliam Bennett Legacy with Lorna McGhee & Guests
Happy (would have been) 87th Birthday WIBB on February 7th! The legendary WIlliam Bennett died in May 2022 and he left a hole in all of the hearts of the musicians that knew him. I was never his student, only a fan, so today my guest is Lorna McGhee, and we discuss this incomparable flautist. I'm including some of his recordings, special memories and dedications from his students and friends Denis Bouriakov, Wissam Boustany, Emily Beynon, Joel Tse, and Jeffery Zook.

S5 Ep. 11 Etude Edition: Drouet's Drama
Drama! Stolen Flutes! Stolen Music! It's a backstory from 200 years ago. Plus - In the preface of the Drouet Etudes it mentions that they should be practiced after the Berbiguier etudes. I was so happy to read that because I needed something to bridge the gap from Berbiguier to Altes and Rose.

S5 Ep 10 Business 101: I want to play on Broadway (pop music, Movies)
New York Flute legend Elizabeth Mann and Blue Flute Alum Karmen Gould bring the one piece advice that everyone needs when they say to themselves and others, "I want to play in the movies, the pit or in rock band!" If I had a nickel for every time I hear that. You have to love it, live it and be "the musician's musician."

S5 EP 9 Stay Well, Play Well: Personal Wellness
Fear. Blame. Regret. All feelings that can emerge on the yoga mat, in a lesson and in a personal relationship. Today I want to discuss the concept that these feelings of fear, blame and regret represent the space between where you are RIGHT NOW (who you think you are) and where you want to be (who you are going to become).
No one is producing this podcast except me, myself and I so get out your journal, sit on the couch and let’s discuss one mental health issue – feelings. -

Customer Reviews
Awesome!
I am a flutist and educator and have been getting so much out of this. Love it! One suggestion I would make is to give the music included in the show it’s own time instead of having music played behind the talking. I would like to really give my attention to both the discussion and the music.
