January Lesson Assignments

Hi Sophie,

Here are a few recordings to listen to. Recognize the first melody? The second part of the performance is the piece we're working on together, but the first part of the performance is a piece you already know! :)

1. Maxence Larrieu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0zBOofvJnI

This second recording is performed by one of the most famous flutists in history. Rampal is considered to be one of the "fathers" of the modern flute! What do you think of his playing? You can comment below or bring your thoughts to your lesson! :)
