You have to warm up.
Both the griddle and flute.
The first one’s gonna be not as good as the rest.
I’m talking the first cake to come off and the first song you play may not be super crisp. Concert flutes need time to build their warmth — physically and tonally. The intention of a warm up, without being pedantic, is to enhance your mental and physical agility for a progressive practice session.
You feel it in your belly.
Playing the flute develops breath, throat, and stomach control. A Catsup Editor envelops pancakes if they are fresh.
You run into trouble if you get ahead of yourself.
Don’t eat too many cakes at once; mind your tempo!
