136. The Flute Gym 2.0 - Stephen Clark

"Size really does matter!" In 'Talking Flutes Extra' this week, Jean-Paul speaks to musician, flute player, author, teacher, arranger and composer Stephen Clark about his very successful publication 'The Flute Gym'.  They talk about the benefits of transitioning from hard copy sheet music to doing practice and performing via iPad and blue tooth pedal to turn pages, warming up using a drone tone from your mobile phone, and how having done many performances via Zoom and other platforms during this year of Covid lockdowns and live music decimation, he now believes that a musician can "get away with murder in a real concert compared to an online recital!"   'Talking Flutes' and 'Talking Flutes Extra' are podcast productions by the Trevor James flute company.  For more information visit www.trevorjamesflutes.com
