About steady rythm and hesitations
Hi everyone,
I’ve noticed lately some members of the forum were brave enough to post here some of their own recordings seeking for advices. As I don’t have any flute teachers in my area I’ve decided I’ll give it a try :

So first a bit of self-criticism. I’ve noticed how difficult it can be to keep a steady rythm when you play alone. I guess my lack of embouchure has an impact on my rythm. But there is worse, I feel I’ve done lots of mistakes while playing altough I play the two first reels in unusual keys. It can be tricky to play tunes in a different key but I think it could be a good exercice plus I try to focus on the embouchure rather than learning new tunes.
So what do you think about my playing ? I am not scared to read harsh commentaries. I am deeply fond of Irish music and I am always eager to learn more especially from the native of this music or the veterans around the world.
What kind of exercices would you recommand to improve my rythm ?
How do you gain self confidence while playing ?
What should I improve in my playing ?
Thx for your advices,
Alex
