"Metronomes and tuning machines should be banished to outer space.."

This week I have a really special treat for you as this time Paul Edmund-Davies can’t escape this WhatsApp call with Jean-Paul. A very special musician, soloist, author, teacher, educator, wine and champagne connoisseur and seriously nice guy. He established his international reputation as flautist and soloist in the 20 years that he was Principal Flute of the London Symphony Orchestra and then the five years in the same position at the Philharmonia Orchestra. Always in demand for masterclasses, recitals and concerts worldwide, he has also found the time in his hectic schedule to have edited and published more than 25 books of flute music. His ‘The 28 Day Warm up Book for all Flautists…eventually!’ is a best seller and has been translated into Japanese, Spanish and Russian. It is a MUST HAVE book on my music stand and highly recommended. In 2015 he launched his online flute education resource, Simply Flute. The website simplyflute.com provides both free and subscription materials to help flute players and teachers on their respective journeys.
