      I don't know if you've said this or not but my teacher always recommends, on faster or uneasy passages/pieces, to play it backward. This has really helped me! In the future its be really cool if you made a intermediate book!Awesome video!🔥

    I concur with these techniques for practicing and have been using them since the 70s. Never practice mistakes and never just play all the way through pieces blindly and consider that practice. A goal is important as stated by Amelie for each practice session. Pick out those difficult passages and work on them specifically then when one is ready, try to run through the piece with no mistakes. I think that when one uses Amelie's suggestions, your practice sessions become very efficient and yield satisfying and immediate results. Make practice perfect instead of practice makes perfect.

    Hi! I'm a little lost on my music journey and would like some advise!
    Where I live there's Trinity and ABRSM( diploma/performance) diplomas. Which one is more recognized ?
    Also if I want to teach flute in future, do I have to take the teaching diploma? 😅I want to take the performing one. Do people teach with their performance diploma?
    Hope to hear from u soon!

      I don't. It's rarely used on flute and hard to finesse it. I think there are a few videos by other instrumentalist that do it. The technique is very similar.
