Backround Info, Or: The Abridged Version of my Life as a Fluotist

It started with a recorder. Yes, a little recorder made of plastic that they give kids so that they can learn a little bit about music. I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I remember that learning the notes seemed very hard at first. It was easy for me to mix up an E with a G, for instance. But as I progressed, I did better, and did not mix up my notes as easily.

But then came the flute.

The simple fingerings of the recorder did not seem to apply to a flute. Complicated little keys everywhere, new and higher notes than recorder, and new fingerings set me in a whirl. Despite these hardships, I fell in love. And I still am in love.

Now, I am a freshman in highschool, striving for a better music career. And Mozart's Flute Concerto in G, K.313, seems like a good place to start.
