Hi,
I've got to give a 30minute lecture/presentation on any topic as part of my course but it's something where I have to do a demonstration of something on flute. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on topics I could cover or if people had any particular aspect of fluting that they would want to hear about in a lecture? This is tricky! Once I've got the topic sorted i'll be well away! I've thought about doing something on the development of articulation but has enough been said over time about that?

Anyways, I'll stop babbling! Thanks for any help!

Hmm, maybe you could do something on extended techniques on the flute like flutter tonguing, jet whistles etc. Different and interesting!

What will the audience be like?

Or, what about the flute family -> piccolo, normal C flute, alto flute, bass flute?

The audience will be made up of postgraduate performance students, but with only 2 other flute players and 5 woodwind players there.
I like the idea of techniques though. Might have to master them before I try and show my 'expertise'!!
