Opening your mind to the Possibilities

Welcome everyone, I am very excited to be starting down this path with you as we learn and grow together. My intentions in communicating to you with the flute portal blog and specifically the “Flute School” is to inspire you to try new things. I have no expectations other than that you all will be open to trying the exercises and seeing where it takes you.
With that in mind, I wanted to start this first article by passing along an inspirational link on what it means to open your mind to the possibilities. This link is a short Pop!Cast presentation by Benjamin Zander, who by the way, is the only conductor ever to lead the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. In this presentation, he talks about what it means to get over your fear and competition in playing and play for yourself and the greater good.
Total runtime is about 30 minutes.
