“When you play the oboe, the flute or other wind instruments, there is something between you and the breath; there is the embouchure, the reed, etc. But with the recorder, I receive an immediate response from the instrument. This is something that attracted me to the instrument, that I could immediately feel the response of what I was doing.” FeelsPlayWindBreathsInstrumentsResponseEtcReedsFlutesRecordersOboesWind Instruments Author:Michala Petri
“If you ask me about music and how things should be played, I believe that music-making is the combination of having learned how to do something right, what one feels is right to do in the moment, and the way the audience is listening.” IfsWayFeelsShouldBelieveMomentsAsksI BelieveAudienceListeningCombinationAsk MeMusic Making Author:Michala Petri
“In concert, I often try to feel the audience and feel their way of hearing. If I feel that there is no contact between the audience and the music, I try to look stronger within myself, hoping that this will lead to a better contact.” IfsWayFeelsTryingLooksAudienceStrongerHearingContactConcerts Author:Michala Petri
