I have been playing flute for about 10 years now. It was truly a passion for me growing up. When I got into high school, my band teacher instantly judged me and decided to not give me a chance when it came to class. I was one of the 1st chair flutes in 9th grade and from then on, I was with the 2nd chair flutes for my high school career. It really brought me down because I knew I had some minor problems, but there was no reason to put me in a lower section because he did not like me.

I want to go to college to play flute. And I need to work on my techniques and such over the next year and a half.

Problem: I just got braces and I don’t know how well that will go trying to play flute. Especially the vibration from the flute to my braces….not fun. Wish me luck!
