A little something different - the flute comes out!


As some of you know, I am a flute player and hold a degree in music performance. I don't perform anywhere near as often as I should, but every once in a while, I get the opportunity. Each week, I teach private music lessons at a local public school as part of a Prodigy Music program. I love teaching and it keeps me playing on a regular basis. The faculty of this program got together last week (well, after weeks of rehearsals) for a faculty recital. I performed in a woodwind quintet and one of the pieces we played was the Carl Nielsen Woodwind Quintet. Challenging! Here is a recording of the 2nd and 3rd movement of the piece. Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful music with us today! I am a sucker for Classical music, and in particular chamber music. The quintet sounds ethereal on that piece. Excellent!

Hi Diana,

Thanks! I really should perform more regularly than I do. But, there's only so much time!

That was beautiful Linda. Just what I needed on a crazy day.
