“I have always been the type of flutist to enjoy playing each role the flute holds in the orchestra. But, when I sat in the piccolo chair, I knew I had found my place. The character and sparkle the piccolo adds to the musical texture is truly unique. I believe that with time spent on the instrument and perhaps a little patience, every flutist can fall in love with the sound of the instrument and become a wonderful piccolo player.”
