A fascinating conversation with professional flautist, teacher and early music specialist Elizabeth Walker. We talked about her experiences and the precautions of teaching young musicians, and what it was like being involved in the early stages of the historical performance movement at this exciting and vibrant time. She also brought up some of the realities of being a professional musician but reminds us that one needs to have a reawakening to realise how special the music they play is.
