    S7 Ep. 8 Ask Amy: Ten Answers about Peak Performance Possibilities

    I answer these 10 questions: How do you deal with adrenaline during performance? Do you get sweaty hands during a performance and what are some remedies? What are some remedies for excess spit during performance? Do you have any pre-performance rituals? How should I warm up before a performance - Flute warmups, mind and body work? How do I stop overthinking or hyper-fixating on perfection? How do you keep up momentum when you’re close to a performance but exhausted? In what ways can you practice to feel prepared “enough” for performances? Does positive self-talk really work and when should we use it? What do you think we need to give a significant experience to the public through our performance?

    S7 Ep. 6 100th Episode: The Future of Elementary Classical Flute Music

    It's my 100th Episode so, in the spirit of moving us forward in our flute pedagogy, I'm asking how best I can serve our flute community. What is the future of elementary classical flute music? What will music students be playing when this generation of students are teaching? PorterFlute Pod producers Isabella Carucci and Ella Hursh are flutists creating the Flute Pedagogy Project and I asked them to be the co-hosts of this special anniversary podcast. Happy 100th episode! I'm so grateful for you!
