50. A very merry fluting Christmas - To Practice or not? - Clare Southworth

Do I practice over the Christmas holiday period or do I take a short break and recharge my batteries so that I can return to the flute with renewed vigour and enthusiasm in the New Year? In this Christmas 'Talking Flutes Extra' podcast, Jean-Paul plays some gorgeous festive music on the alto flute by Giovanni Perez and takes a brief look at what he and Clare will be doing with their families during this coming week.  Yes...Eating, drinking and playing the obligatory board games are certainly on menu along with jigsaw puzzles!   The podcast closes with an 'upbeat' version of "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas' played by the 2 x Grammy Nominated and now a winner of an Emmy Award José Valentino on his TJ bass. Talking Flutes and Talking Flutes Extra podcasts and taking a short break and will return to their usual weekly Monday publication again on 14th January 2019. On behalf of Clare Southworth, Jean-Paul Wright and all the team at Trevor James flutes, may we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
