Con-flute-tious says…

 

A Metronome on the stand is worth two in the cupboard

 

An Etude a day keeps the teacher at bay

 

Accidentals will happen

 

A Trio is known by its flute

 

A switch in time confuses nine

 

Bad reviews travel fast

 

Be swift to hear and slow to squeak

 

Better sharp than sorry

 

Better the Conductor you know than the Conductor you don’t

 

Tuning delayed is tuning denied

 

Support before you leap

 

Tone was not built in a day

 

Virtuosity is its own reward

 

Where there’s a trill key there’s a way
