Instructions from the Expert:

In order for me to help you better, please let me know approximately how long you've been playing the flute, or the capacity in which you play it (e.g. if you're in your school band/orchestra, if you play the flute as a hobby, etc.).  

Remember, I do NOT answer questions about flute brands, buying flutes, or their worth!

Also, for my United States questioners, I am living in the UK, so please note that the time difference may affect how quickly I can answer your question. :)

Expertise

I can answer questions about learning to play the flute, reading music, problems encountered when playing, flute repertoire, practicing tips, and performing, as well as information about classical composers and their works. Please note that I am no longer accepting any questions about what kind of flute to buy, upgrading, flute brands, reselling, what a flute is worth, etc. I have answered many of these questions in the past, so please either view my answers in the the previously asked questions section or visit my website, which has a page about buying flutes: silentgalaxy.com/buyingflutes.html. Thanks!

Experience

I've played the flute since fourth grade, graduating with my master's degree in flute performance. I have taught at local music schools, given flute lessons for over ten years, have played in and soloed with several orchestras, chamber groups, and various other ensembles. For more information about me, visit my website at silentgalaxy.com. I love the flute, and I love helping people, so I welcome your questions!

Education/Credentials
Bachelor's and master's degrees in flute performance from Carnegie Mellon University.
