    Thank you so very much for all your suggestions! I plays Stars & Stripes about 15 years ago (orchestra version), with my friend who was professionally trained. He has, unfortunately, passed on, but I am now tasked with playing this version, alone, in about 5 weeks. To say I'm nervous would be an understatement, but I look forward to putting your tips and suggestions to use during my practicing.

      You’re welcome! Good luck with your Stars & Stripes performance. I’m rooting for you! 🎶

      @@hawaiiflute Just wanted to come back and let you know that I used your practice techniques, and played it on Monday in concert. One small "blip" that I don't think anyone else noticed, but otherwise it went very well! Thanks again!!!!

    This is a great help. Would you consider doing the Double eagle march, the triplets are horrible to learn.

    Thanks for these tips! Do you typically use thumb Bb throughout the passage or do you use standard fingering Bb?

    • @hawaiiflute
      @hawaiiflute  2 місяці тому +1

      Bb thumb throughout! It’s way easier & sounds less glitchy 👍

    Thank you . Very helpful. I am wondering if you could please let me know how to finger high G to A trill on piccolo. Thank you

    • @hawaiiflute
      @hawaiiflute  4 місяці тому

      If you have the extra G-A trill key on your piccolo, you finger high G and then trill the G-A trill key along with the 2nd trill key.

    • @hawaiiflute
      @hawaiiflute  4 місяці тому

      And if you don’t have the extra trill keys on your piccolo, you finger high G with left hand 1st & 3rd fingers and thumb, and left hand 2nd & 3rd fingers and 1st trill key (no pinky), and then wiggle/trill the LH 1st & thumb keys for the trill.

    Can I ask what you use to record, and the setting??

    • @hawaiiflute
      @hawaiiflute  Рік тому

      I just prop my iPhone up and record directly into that. Very low tech:)

      And the setting is a corner of my bedroom. 😆 I have a tiny apt in HI.
