Blog of the Scottish Ensemble, the UK's only professional string orchestra. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. A short interview with David Matthews. December 15, 2014. We caught up with Matthews to share some thoughts on the challenges and joys of arranging some of the most innately pianistic pieces ever written for string orchestra. Could you tell us how the commission came about? You settled on Op.37 No.2 and Op.55 No.1. Why these two nocturnes? For some time I’ve thought of mak...

Music Is Math | I Hate Practicing

https://ihatepracticing.wordpress.com/2014/02/15/music-is-math

Wild confessions of a professional flutist. My flute student, Kelly Makechnie, gave herself a math manicure before a recent math team competition. The next day, she had a flute lesson. Does music make you smart, or do smart people play music? On February 15, 2014. 8220;I Tried To” Means “No”. Music Is Math" (2). March 15, 2014 at 8:39 am. I think there is a huge correlation between mathematics and music, it would also be interesting to know how many musicians are visual or kinetic learners. Musings from ...

The Bad Performance | I Hate Practicing

https://ihatepracticing.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/the-bad-performance

Wild confessions of a professional flutist. January 8, 2014. Have you ever had a bad performance? One in which you aren’t sure whether to keep hacking through or to stop and start over? I find that performers often feel crushed by such an experience and then wonder if they can ever move past it.

Flute Students, Read This Post! | I Hate Practicing

I imagine a patient visiting the doctor to deal with some sort of ailment. The doctor gives a diagnosis, then prescribes a course of action. A week later, does the conversation sound like this? DOCTOR: How are you feeling? PATIENT: Not good. That toe is still infected. PATIENT: I tried to. . . If you don’...
