Individual expression is highly encouraged though (that is, if you don't have a stodgy old traditional instructor, lol).

I put over 12 hours a week into learning, perfecting, and memorizing flute pieces up to performance quality standards, so I thank you for the positve feedback. These are things that I would normally prepare for examinations so getting outside opinions boosts my confidence.

I just received a book containing over 2000 different flute pieces from a wide selection of composers in the mail, so I may be compelled to share the ones I've learned with you in here or in my journal
