Mar 27	comment	How to deal with the fear of auditions? I used to have a big fear of auditions. But like many things, practice makes perfect. The more I do it the easier it gets. Still not a breeze, still get stressed out, but I can play more reliably.

Mar 17	comment	Harmonizing melody exercise question with specific parameters +1 Good catch. Much agreed. Though this resolution doesn't "break the rules," it still just doesn't sound right.
Mar 17	comment	Is it possible to play a low A on a recorder The only way your are going to get a low A out of a C recorder is to add more piping to the instrument. I'd highly suggest just getting an alto recorder.

Mar 12	comment	Finding the “Starting point” when creating a composition or score My understanding of the issue of composition is the whatever works approach. Though I don't compose myself, that's just always been my understanding of it.
Mar 11	comment	Notation on Schubert's Op.94, D760, piece 6 I've seen this in other scores for other instruments. Think of it like a footnote or endnote.
Mar 11	comment	Is it possible to play a low A on a recorder To continue along the lines of what @luserdroog is saying, I'd suggest checking out this video, begin at 2:20, youtube.com/watch?v=T4eR719RhhY
Mar 9	comment	Is it possible to play a low A on a recorder Thanks, it seems you are correct. In that case, I'd just suggest OP use an alto recorder instead of a soprano.
Mar 9	comment	What music notation software can handle this complex beaming? +1 Lilypond us currently my go to music type setting program. It has everything you need and looks elegant on the page.
