Celebration 🥳Q&A on Zoom!
On 26th March 2020, 3 days after the national Covid-19 lockdown was announced in the Netherlands, I uploaded a trailer making known my intention to make 10 videos on various technical issues and favourite repertoire pieces.
On year on, on 26th March 2021 I invited flute enthusiasts to submit their questions to me which I would answer in a Zoom chat celebration together. I was delighted that these 14 lovely people from 10 different countries joined me to celebrate!
