I bought a flute!
A beautiful, shiney, handmade Muramatsu flute.
My teacher told me about the Atlanta Flute Fair put on by the Atlanta Flute Club. I joined the club and went to the fair and bought a flute! Nancy was there to help me pick it out, to tell me if you will which one I sound better on. I do not sound good, let me tell you. The new flute did increase the notes I can play and has allowed me to feel more confident with my playing. However, I still have a long, long way to go.
That's ok. I play flute for me and me only if I have to. I am looking for a community group to play with though. That's a dream I'll hopefully fulfill one day.
The flute was a dream, a dream fulfilled.
