Show 212: Flutes with Coral

I am interviewing a talented undergraduate, Coral, from Ashland, PA.  She's a mathematics major, also minoring in Computer Science, and an accomplished flutist.  In the interview we discover that she's also trying to teach herself the oboe and the clarinet.

The interview segments are self-explanatory, and serve as a springboard for a number of woodwind-related tracks we play.  We also listen to some 90s-style rock, because that's what Coral likes to listen to when she's off duty!

An idea whose time has come: Interviews

Because my show is not live—as my listeners and readers know by now—I have not tried to do on-air interview thus far.  But I’m beginning to think that it is time I went in that direction.

I am planning to feature an interview or two for my next show, to start with, one of my students, Coral, who happens to love music, even if mostly popular music.  However, she is also a awesome flutist, so I bet we can make her talk about classical music if we try, especially the flute repertoire.

I do not really mind popular music at all, really.  The Irish group, The Cranberries, used to be one of my favorites.  With Coral, I might have to expand my horizons considerably, because she warned me that a lot of music she likes is “angsty!”  I’m surprised, because Coral is so not an obviously angsty person!

Another student who has agreed to be interviewed, tentatively, is Bethany, who has wide interests in music, but who sings in the choir.  I have to wonder whether she likes the choral repertoire, or whether she likes strictly popular music too, even if she likes a variety of rock performers.

So that’s what you have to look forward to!
