I had signed up for a 30 min lesson however, I got my money's worth as we ran over by 10-15 mins. [Scott] tries not to schedule back-to-back lessons just so it allows for some overage. We started with basic embouchure and a suggestion that...has allowed me to get to the second octave notes easier as well as smoothing out the fundamental octave notes. ...we covered several topics and basic drills that I think will be beneficial to furthering my end blown progress. It has already!! Needless to say, I would recommend anyone interested in improving their end blown playing to consider taking a lesson or two. I don't think you'll be sorry." -Mark, Albuquerque, NM "Lessons with Scott are fun and you will learn." -Dawn, N Requirements: Valid Skype or iChat account, web cam and mic, flute, PDF reader, metronome Prices are for lessons and materials only and do not include the above requirements.
