Don‘t use the middle finger! - podcast 199 with Clare Southworth and Jean-Paul Wright

Let's talk 'Alternative Fingerings' and why a flute headjoint is nearly always pulled a long way out! This week Clare and Jean-Paul talk about being competitive as a player and a musician, alternative flute fingerings and why they are used, and also to celebrate 'Talking Flutes' hitting the 200 podcast mark next week, they speak about the open G# flute which will be given to one lucky listener. 'Talking Flutes' and 'Talking Flutes Extra' are podcast productions by the TJ flute company.  For more information visit www.trevorjamesflutes.com
