Flutists have widely varied and inconsistent musical needs. Taking time to organize practice sessions helps you develop musical skills and improve your playing. I chose this topic because I was a singer before I was a flute player, and my sister is a voice student, so the connection between flute and voice is natural for me. I think they chose to print it because it draws on something outside of the flute world - no one is just a flute player anymore. They had to think of what they really believe about flute playing and teaching.
Ideas always become clearer when they are written down.
My goal is to prepare these students for their future. Most of them will become teachers. If they have practiced and reflected on how they wish to convey their ideas, they will be able to find jobs in the most prestigious schools in the world. Pedagogy students teach monthly videotaped private lessons in front of the class, and receive evaluative feedback from their colleagues about developments in their teaching throughout the semester . My general philosophy is not to teach the students how to teach, but to give them the tools to discover how they want to teach.
