Dear Friends,
I hope this finds you well-
About a year ago, I had a pleasure of meeting flutist Marianne Gedigian, Professor of Flute at The University of Texas at Austin. She kindly gifted me a book she wrote called Survival of the Flutist: an inspiring journey of a flutist with breathtakingly beautiful illustrations by another accomplished flutist/piccoloist, Patti Adams.
I was originally told that it is a children's book, but I recommend all adult musicians/artists read this book. It reminded me of why I chose music as a profession: not for fame and glory, but to share my love for music.
Survival of the Flutist
I hope this journey touches your heart as much it did mine.
Happy reading!
Best,
Kayoko
