This month's musician is Adam.
I play a military flute in the CCF band at Pate's Grammar School. It is like a small and high-pitched wooden flute, about 30cm long. In primary school I used to play a recorder which helped me to learn the military flute as the fingering is quite similar on both instruments. I enjoy playing it in the band, but when it is played on its own, it sounds very shrill and high-pitched. The music can sometimes be difficult to read as the higher notes are written on ledger lines.
