Hi Flute! Fans,
Summer is a great time to develop new practice habits, so try these suggestions to build performance confidence for auditions and prepare for next year!
Practice the scale/arpeggio first before sight reading new music.
Look for scale/arpeggio patterns in music for confidence in reading.
Slow practice daily builds confidence in fast technical passages.
Try these simple ideas today....and check back soon for more ideas!
Thank you for your comment of July 16, 2026. Your observations are right on target!
Now for the next step...remember that all solo lines need a harmonic framework underneath built on chords to create confidence in performance or auditions. Use your phone to record yourself playing simple arpeggio patterns based on scale tones I, IV and V. Then, play a duet with your recording to understand and develop harmony and phrasing in performance.....have fun and be creative!
