this is from a person who has posted here a few times, and said in one of their post I think 2-3 months ago they just stared the flute, but yet they say this
"I have become one of the better flutists in my city. After all, flute wasn't that difficult. Clarinet was much more involved. If you can play the slide whistle then you can play the flute. It's THAT easy."
Now I am not stirring up an issue, but please you can learn the complete professional skills, talent, feature, and let alone great playing in a couple of weeks, and it irritates me to think someone could think the flute is such an "EASY"!!!! instrument, its completely ridiculous, cocky and a down right liar. and I think this fit perfect in the flute forum, since its such an "EASY" instrument....Ah
It depends on what city he/she is talking about. Maybe he/she is the only flutist there, so it is not so difficult to become the best...
More seriously, if the person could play clarinet at a high level and is very gifted for the flute, it could be he can get a reasonable playing level in such a short time. Or is it so much impossible? (open question).
From there to declare himself "the best in town" it takes a short step (and a big, big Ego).
his account was blocked from posting and his new account(how typical) has all those false, and bull accusations on how"easy" it is to play the flute, and that the "clarinet" is a lot more involved, NO! there are just as many steps, skills, differences, and features to master on the the flute as there are on any instrument, let alone the clarinet?
yeah, exactly. I played clarinet for 5 years and while I feel both have their own unique challenges and are comparatively difficult, the music flutes are often required to play can be exceedingly difficult on a much more consistent basis.
Don't let him get under your skin; he wants to do that. Plus he hasn't got much of a clue if he actually believes the diaherra that spouts from his mouth.
it doesn't even bother me anymore, i think though that people, and and the people who worked so hard to be as good as they are on their flute should hear it, but hey he wants to degrade us well do it back. so o well
ha yea jim and phil left the forum so were done they went to another forum, i saw there new names, and phil accidently put his last name and posted a new thread saying that was a mistake im not him, i really think i should contacts the mods and warn them
