“You’re crazy.” Yeah I am that crazy to see the future of my life and where I wanted to go with etudes.

I'll address in this episode those questions from flute students about the more advanced etudes and featuring my recording of the 30 Caprices by Karg-Elert. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/amy-porter9/support

Three words to describe the Wm. S. Haynes Flutes as cited by Master Finisher and Vice President Steven Finley are brilliant: "welcoming personal, resonance." Today my guest is Artist in Residence Gareth McClearnon for Haynes who brings a history and perspective of a 132-year-old American flute company. After my own (only) 36 years of playing one brand of flute, I decided to begin anew, and perhaps learn something new from an old flute maker. This time, I chose the flute maker who embraced the traditions of my grand-teacher, George Barrère. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/amy-porter9/support
