Officiating at My Student’s Wedding
A little boy who studied flute with me grew up to adulthood and gave me one of the deepest honors of my life.
I was honored to be invited to write the first and only column on performance anxiety in any flute magazine in the world. Flute Focus is an informative, exciting, full-size 50-page magazine published four times a year, full of information about every aspect of flute playing. I am happy to share the articles from my column with you.
