The start

Hi there these blogs are going to be me telling you about the interesting points in my musical career so far.
I think that probably the best place to start from is the beginning, this began when i was 6. I remember sat there at breakfast as my nan walked in and asked if i wanted to learn the flute, now to many people a 6 year old boy saying yes to that was daft but i wanted to, this was probably the biggest life changing moment ever. somehow i agreed and began learning the flute. Yes to start with there was the odd Micky taking but at this stage i was oblivious to the torture this would bring later on in my life.
Anyway my first memory of the flute is my teacher giving me the flute head joint being taught how to blow the flute, this was the first time i realised that music was something i enjoyed and could let out some "steam". Gradually over the weeks i was finding it easier to find a sound, this pleased my teacher and i began learning the fingerings of the notes.
Being in primary school my lessons were shared with a girl who thought that she was better than everyone else. Normally i'd let these people go but because of her mum being the teacher i was out to prove something to her and her mum. Gradually i began working for grade 1 flute and i soon began finding out what nerves were.
