Flute 360 | Episode 330: "This Is Real Life – Two Flutists, One Faith, and a Journey Through It All with Dr. Kristin Caliendo" This episode isn't just a conversation—it's a moment of truth, healing, and deep connection. Dr. Heidi Kay Begay and Dr. Kristin Caliendo come together for a raw and heartfelt discussion on what it means to live a fully integrated life as a flutist, believer, caregiver, mother, teacher, and friend. It's for the listener who feels pulled in too many directions and is craving clarity, energy, peace, and purpose. If you've been questioning how to juggle it all—your health, studio, family, calling, and faith—this conversation meets you right where you are. It's a reminder that your body is sacred, your energy is a resource, and your identity is not defined by a title—but by who God says you are. Main Points: How faith, food, and friendship sustain us through life's hardest seasons. The connection between energy and your environment: food, people, habits. Caregiving, grief, and the supernatural peace that only God can give. What it really means to steward your body as a temple. Letting go of performance perfectionism and embracing presence in your playing. Redefining success beyond the degree, job title, or performance. Using your music and teaching as a vehicle for ministry and healing. The daily decision to live intentionally—one minute, one rehearsal, one lesson at a time.

She brings decades of wisdom not just as a performer and teacher, but as a woman deeply attuned to what it means to live aligned with her faith. Through every season—especially the hard ones—she models what grace, grit, and God-led living can truly look like. Connect with Kristin via email at kristinflute@yahoo.com. Follow Heidi!

Do you ever feel like you're practicing but not making the progress you hoped for? You're not alone! In this episode, Rebecca Fuller from Learn Flute Online uncovers 5 common flute habits that secretly hold players back—plus exactly what to do instead. Whether your tone is fuzzy, your fingers feel clumsy, or your vibrato seems wobbly, there's likely a small, hidden habit causing the issue. The good news? These are all easy to fix once you know how. Inside this episode, you'll learn: Why rolling the flute inward makes your tone worse (even if it feels like it helps) The posture mistake that leads to saggy tone and face tension How to correct uncontrolled vibrato (yes, that goat-like sound has a name!) The one fingering slip-up that makes your D and E♭ notes sound stuffy Why “wiggling” your flute doesn't actually fix your tone—and what to do instead This episode is packed with practical, easy-to-understand strategies you can apply today—whether you're a total beginner or a returning player.

Send us a textAdam Robinson and Ralph Samuelson joined us for this WMI Plus At Home session, where they introduced the Japanese flute (shakuhachi). Adam and Ralph spoke about the history of the instrument and the different contexts it was used in as it developed. They discussed how traditional music is taught and how the shakuhachi has grown into a modern, globally connected instrument. During their talk, Ralph and Adam played musical examples of shakuhachi music, performed a traditional duet, “Shika no Tōne” (the distant cry of the deer), and answered questions from attendees.More about Adam RobinsonMore about Ralph SamuelsonSupport the showStay in touch with us!

"Last week we spoke of Dockery Farms which the birthplace of The Blues. As all music does it was expanded and taken to different places by the musicians who played it. Here is a run down and description of the most popular forms of The Blues."
"Back in March of 1979 the movie The China Syndrome came out. Weeks later the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster occurred. This lead to musicians setting up MUSE and holding the NO Nukes concerts, albums and film. We have the entire story including the first time Bruce Springsteen was recorded live."

"Dockery Farms is said to be the place where the Delta Blues began. That is a bold statement but once you hear the research I have gathered it will be hard to argue. Robert Johnson did not sell his soul for great musical talent. He went to Dockery Farms which is still open today and welcoming visitors."

Flute player Neil McLaren joins Netty for a tea and chat in the latest episode. Having served as OAE's second flute for nearly 40 years, Neil shares how he became interested in playing the baroque flute and recounts intriguing stories about his early encounters with music. He also discusses other pursuits inspired by his life experiences.Neil takes us back to his early life, before he began playing the flute. When he's not playing music, you can find him crafting jewellery in his workshop in Lewes. Some of his pieces are featured in the Glyndebourne shop as well as being worn by our guest artists. In addition to his musical talents, Neil is also a qualified counsellor, and he shares the journey of how he became one, along with the training process he undertook.--Tea with Netty is the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's podcast hosted by viola player Annette Isserlis (Netty). Over a cuppa (or something a little stronger…), Netty chats with a variety of conductors, players and other guests as she ‘spills the tea' on the side of classical music you don't normally hear.

Episode 173 Chapter 32, Other Analog Synthesizers. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast. Let's get started with the listening guide to Chapter 32, Other Analog Synthesizers from my book Electronic and Experimental music. Playlist: OTHER EARLY SYNTHESIZER RECORDINGS (PRE-MIDI AND NOT MOOG) Time Track Time Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:36 00:00 1. Raymond Scott, “Space Mystery” (1963). Used Scott's Electronium, a custom-made analog synthesizer/sequencer. 05:08 01:42 2. Pauline Oliveros, “Alien Bog” (1967). Used a prototype Buchla 100 modular synthesizer at Mills College. 33:13 06:53 3. John Eaton, “Soliloquy For Syn-Ket” (1973) from Electro-Vibrations (The Music Of John Eaton). Used the Synket, an Italian-made modular synthesizer of which only six were ever made. 06:38 40:06 4. John Keating, “Earthshine” (1975) from Space Experience 2. Featured the ARP 2600 and Pro- Soloist. 04:09 46:46 5. Patrick Gleeson, “Saturn, The Bringer Of Old Age” (1976) from Beyond The Sun: An Electronic Portrait Of Holst's The Planets. Used Eµ Systems Polyphonic synthesizer. 09:31 51:02 6. Jean Michel Jarre, “Oxygene, Part IV” (1976) from Oxygene. Used the ARP Odyssey, EMS Synthi AKS, EMS Synthi VCS3, and RMI Harmonic Synthesizer and Keyboard Computer. 03:07 01:00:34 7. Bennie Maupin, “Crystals” (1978) from Moonscapes. Featured the E-mu Modular Synthesizer programmed by Patrick Gleeson, who owned Different Fur Studios in the San Francisco area and owned E-mu synthesizers (see previous track for an example of the E-mu Systems Polyphonic synthesizer). Here, we have a different treatment of the same instrument by jazz woodwind player Maupin, who played Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Bass Clarinet, Flute, Marimba, Glockenspiel, E-mu Synthesizer, and Computone Synthesizer Winddriver on this album. I picked this track because this is most stripped-down arrangement featuring only Maupin playing the E-mu synthesizer and other instruments. 01:18 01:03:44 8. Pere Ubu, “On the Surface” (1978) from Dub Housing. Allen Ravenstein used the EML Electrocomp 101 modular synthesizer as a member of this band. 02:37 01:05:02 9. Sylvester, “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” (1978) from Step II. One of the few albums to feature EML (Electronic Music Laboratories) Modular Synthesizer plus String synthesizer, Electro-comp 101 synthesizer and 200 expander unit, Oberheim DS-2 Sequencer, Effects, Pat Cowley; organ, Electric piano, Clavinet, Michael C. Finden; Percussion, David Frazier; Producer, Lead Vocals, Piano, Sylvester. EML was a Connecticut-based synth maker that was around from about 1970 to 1984. They were best-known for their Electro-comp modular synths. The 101 was a duophonic semi-modular 44-note synth and the model 200 was an expander unit that added ring modulation, spring reverb, and high and low filters to the setup. It was interesting to hear this Moroder-like pulsating synth sound coming from something other than a Moog. 06:34 01:07:40 10. Isao Tomita, “The Sea Named Solaris” (1978) from Kosmos. Used the Roland System 700, Roland Strings RS- 202, Roland Revo 30, in addition to Moog Modular III, Moog System 55, and Polymoog synthesizers. 12:28 01:14:11 11. Moebius, “Song For Lya” (1979) from Moebius. Serge, Oberheim, and Minimoog synthesizers, vocals, Bryce Robbley; Serge, Oberheim synthesizers, Doug Lynner; Violin, John Stubbs. Listen closely to tune-out the parts by the Odyssey and Minimoog and you will experience a lovely bed laid down by the Serge. Moebius had three members, one a violinist, heard in this tune blending with the Serge. Although the group used a Sennheiser vocoder on another track, the vocal distortion on this track may have actually been the voice processed with the Serge. 03:15 01:26:42 12. Pascal Languirand, “O Nos Omnes” (1980) from De Harmonia Universalia. Features the Farfisa Synthorchestra, the famous Italian's company entry into the string synthesizer fray. The Syntorchestra was split into two keyboard sections, strings (polyphonic), and mono synth voices. It was a hybrid organ and synthesizer and used much by Klaus Schulze and other German electronic musicians for the short time that it was available from 1975 to 1978. Nine slider controls were positioned next to a 3-octave keyboard and provided some “chaotic” control episodes for this much beloved and rare keyboard. 07:15 01:29:56 13. Henry Kucharzyk, “Play Dot Sam” (1981) from Walk The Line - Three New Works By Henry Kucharzyk. This work is performed at the Samson Box at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. This track is an escapee from the 1970s but nonetheless fills a void in that period when commercial synthesizers were moving to digital technology and were quite expensive. The Samson Box was a computer-based digital synthesizer created in 1977 by Peter Samson, who worked at the university. “Samson” was formally known as the “Systems Concepts Digital Synthesizer. It was a one-off special-purpose dedicated audio computer designed for use by student composers at Center for Computer Research in Musical and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University. 03:05 01:37:08 14. Terry Riley, “The Ethereal Time Shadow” (1981-82) from Music from Mills. Used two Prophet V synthesizers, tuned to just intonation and employing sequencing. 08:51 01:40:12 Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes. My Books/eBooks: Electronic and Experimental Music, sixth edition, Routledge 2020. Also, Sound Art: Concepts and Practices, first edition, Routledge 2022.

The story so far: Still stuck in the movie hole for over a year now, the boys search for new ways to entertain themselves.This week on Stabby Stabby, we make due with what we have (i.e. a pile of bones!) and start a new band! Sadly none of us know how to play bones, so we check out the folklore-heavy British/Turkish coproduction of 1987s Born of Fire to get us there! While marveling at the beauty of the Turkish landscapes, we delve into discussing rental coffins and naked bald men, and invent both a new Dairy Queen movie tie-in flavor AND a specialty pair of cargo shorts!

"First you need to know there are no swear words in this show. It was this week back in the 60s when the FBI released a letter stating that there were no curse words in the song Louie Louie. But people keep looking. This is a list of songs that were banned or otherwise maligned because someone was sure the singer was cursing. But there was no curse word. It is a long list."

Caroline's Handy Dandy Grading Rubric: Does the prediction contain the same characters as the actual episode? If I worked at A.T. corp. would I produce this episode idea? How much creative effort was put forth while coming up w/ this prediction? Do the prediction and the actual ep. follow the same archetype (i.e. love & loss, heroic adventure, self-discovery, etc.)? Would this story aide in the development of the overall plot and/or character development? Do the events of the story seem plausible in regard to character traits (i.e. It would not be plausible for Finn to do something evil)? Does a similar story line occur at some later point in the show? Has a similar story line already occurred in a previously reviewed episode?Rate us on Apple Podcasts! itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/oh-my-glob-an-adventure-time-podcast/id1434343477?mt=2Facebook: facebook.com/ohmyglobpodcastContact us: ohmyglobpodcast@gmail.comAnd that Twitter thing: https://twitter.com/ohmyglobpodcastAmy: https://twitter.com/moxiespeaksTrivia Theme by Adrian C.Listen to Mikey D's awesome new podcast, Rank Rotten: https://open.spotify.com/show/2sfwf87wlrNWP9CJV1jFhk?si=41eaf54d216c40b5Discover more of Nathaniel's fantasmic music at www.darkteamusic.com

"This week back in 2007 Sammy Hagar sold an 80 percent stake in his Cabo Wabo tequila for $80 million. Since then it seems every musician or band has their own line of booze. Here is a good long list and where you can buy it."
It's always felt like we flute players weren't invited to the Romantic party. Whilst Beethoven, Wagner and Mahler were playing beer pong, we were at home tooting our own flutes. So this week, I look at why that is, along with the Jena German Romanticism movement, the response to The Enlightenment, and how the French screwed it all up.Grma xInline G Merch

In this episode, Heidi guides you through the concept of “chiseling away” fear and doubt—like Michelangelo sculpting David—to reveal your authentic, creative core.

Part 1 The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry Summary"The Great Kapok Tree" by Lynne Cherry tells the story of a giant kapok tree in the Amazon rainforest, which is threatened by deforestation. The story begins with a logger who comes to the forest with the intention of cutting down the great tree. As he begins to saw into its trunk, he becomes tired and falls asleep at the base of the tree.While he sleeps, various animals of the rainforest approach him one by one to plead for the tree's life. Each animal shares their perspective on the importance of the kapok tree to their survival and the ecosystem. For example, a jaguar explains how the tree provides shelter and nourishment for various species, while a toucan emphasizes the tree's role in the beauty and diversity of the rainforest. Even smaller creatures, like the ants and the snake, detail how interconnected their lives are with the tree.When the man wakes up, he realizes the importance of the forest and the sacrifices needed to protect it. Moved by what he has learned from the animals, he ultimately decides not to cut down the great kapok tree. Instead, he leaves the forest with a newfound respect for nature and a commitment to preserving the rainforest.The story serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of life and the need to protect our natural environment, making it both an educational and engaging read for children.Part 2 The Great Kapok Tree AuthorLynne Cherry is an American author and illustrator known for her contributions to children's literature, particularly focused on themes related to nature and environmentalism.

The original 1990 edition is often regarded as the classic version, but newer editions have been released to update illustrations and text.
