I started to play the flute in fall 2005. I am still a total newbie. In spring 2006, I found my current teacher, Elisabeth Hirsch.

Freely available recordings
The following are my humble attempts to record a few of the pieces I truly love to play. Please excuse the obvious errors, I am really just an amateur trying to learn and improve.
I've also collected some links to freely available flute-solo recordings on the net (mostly from Wikipedia):
- Karg Elert - Caprices for Flute - No.1 tempo giusto Op.107
- Karg Elert - Caprices for Flute - No.2 Op.107
- Karg Elert - Caprices for Flute - No.3 allegro alla handel Op.107
- Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 1013
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Concerto in D for Flute K.314
