Welcome to my weblog about music, music-making, flute playing, and education.
As a solo flutist, chamber music player, orchestral musician, and flute and methodology teacher, I have more than fifty years of experience. I have also been the founder and conductor of
The Netherlands Flute Orchestra (Het Nederlands Fluitorkest).

My love for the flute has been a source of inspiration, pleasure, and even comfort to this day. On the other hand, the flute playing I very often hear does not suit me equally appealing.

In this blog, I summarize my thoughts on this aspect and share them with you.

It is needless to say that I use the acquired craftsmanship and vision during my lessons. Personally, however, I am most curious about who I have in front of me and what is his/her input. I want to find that unique that is present in everyone. I am convinced that everyone's individuality must determine the strategy to follow and not universal dogmas.

Together with you, I want to discover new and perhaps hidden possibilities to make your playing and music-making even better.

It does not matter whether you are a professional, an advanced amateur or a (member of) an ensemble.

The Dutch name of this website has two meanings: a. enjoyably playing flute and b. playing flute in a non-conformist way (transversal).
I book successes with being transverse (critical). That means that I eschew stone-carved laws.
It's all about human beings, not about 'the rules'.

Thank you for your visit.
Sincerely,

Jorge Caryevschi
