🌟 Courage Over Perfection - Start Now, Perfect Later 🌟

Are you putting off that one task on your to-do list because it feels daunting? 🤔

Remember, the thing you fear and avoid the most is EXACTLY where you need to be! 💪

So, take a deep breath, gather your courage, and tackle it head-on! Be courageous, confident, and embrace the messy actions—perfection can come later. 🗂️

Don't let fear hold you back. Start now, take action, and watch how your confidence grows with each step. 🚀

Hey, Hey There!!

Are you needing some inspiration or motivation to practice?

What about dusting your flute off to get ready for the upcoming academic year?

If you have taken a break from the flute — great!! I am all for breaks and getting some “rest and digest” sessions in. You deserve it!!

If you are wanting to dust off the flute, though, to get ready for NFA, an upcoming audition or for school preparation … I have got the thing for you!!

Our special guest in the Flute 360 Accelerator Program for 7/27 is…Stephen Clark!!!

He is an author, professor, and an international artist. He is coming into the Flute 360 world to give us his expertise, so you can grow artistically & career wise!!

There are only 3 spots open…and 1 of them is already claimed!!!

So, what are you waiting for? One of these TWO spots can be yours.

All you have to do is message me by Friday, July 19th to be a 1 of the 2 performers!!

Ready to jump in and you don’t need to message me — here’s the link!

Heyyyyyy 360-er!

How’s it going?!

I hope you enjoyed Episode 286 as a general Flute 360 update. I’ve missed you and I miss diving into fun and invigorating topics with you!

There’s A LOT to be thankful for, and A LOT happening in the Flute 360 world.

First — I want to say THANK YOU for being here! It means a lot to me, and I love the relationships that are formed from this community.

Never in a million years did I think that I would be talking and working with flutists from…
-The U.K.
-Canada
-Finland
-Africa
-Australia
-And parts of the U.S.

Thank you. 🩵

I don’t do this often — but as a special summer treat — I am brining in a GUEST teacher & friend for our Accelerator Program on 7/27! And it’s…..

Stephen Clark! 👏

Expect to have a FANTASTIC time with your new flute friends, and (of course) we are going to learn and grow tons together!!

What is the Flute 360 Accelerator Program? 🪈

It’s your real-world flute studio. You know how in college you get to play together and talk about pedagogical topics?

That’s great! But at Flute 360’s studio — not only are we growing artistically but also career wise, too!

MOST music schools don’t teach you how to…
-build a studio
-learn how to network
-market yourself
-get your amazing teachings & playings out into the world
-and more.

We need to put an end to this. 🛑

I am EXTREMELY passionate about getting YOU the right information, b/c you deserve it. You have worked too HARD on your practicing, craft, and degrees to not be noticed. You have worked too hard to not be financially & creatively fulfilled.

It’s time to STOP banging your head against the wall — and actually live and thrive at your FULLEST.

Quit trying to do it by yourself. I am here for you. We are here for you. 💪

See you in a few weeks!! 🎶

Warmly,
Dr. Heidi

P.S. — Here are the details to our event!

🗓️ DATE: Saturday, July 27, 2024
⏰ TIME: 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT
💻 WHERE: ZOOM + Voxer
