I am a professional orchestra conductor. I presently direct a POPs Symphony. I taught orchestra at all levels. I have worked with 25+ musicals. My primary instruments were strings, but I know the basics and a bit more about all instruments. I have friends in all lines of music and theater. I hope that I can help those who are discouraged. I search the "Yahoo answers" for honest questions. I try an answer them honestly. I am not looking to have a high percentage of best answers, but answers that will make you think. I hope that I never insult anyone.

2 AnswersPerforming Arts9 years agoPiccolo Information needed?
I found a Dietrick by Pearl Piccolo in a box of flute music that I purchased at an estate sale near St Louis. and would like to know something about it.
