MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Courtney King
-­‐Why did you choose to play the flute?
I chose the flute despite not having the "right" lips for the instrument. My dad however, had pointed out some classic rock
tunes that had flute featured. Some of that was certainly Ian Anderson but I don't recall exactly.
-When did you begin playing the flute?
I started playing with my school band program in the 5th grade. -Do you have any musical highlights you would like to share and/or what is your most notable or
personally satisfying accomplishment?
I would have to say performing and writing for flute with a rock band is without a doubt the most personally satisfying
yet. I have always loved the intensity of sound and emotion in a rock setting but never thought it actually possible for me
to do that on flute. Well, we are doing it and perform all over St. Louis and the Metro East and people love it. I have
learned to ditch the music stand completely and play with the other musicians by simply listening. It’s a whole new kind
of artistry to master and I love the challenge. [Please check out my band “Slow Down Scarlett” on March 13th at The Chapel
Venue in St. Louis at 7:00. http://thechapel.bpt.me for tickets and more information.]
-Describe your musical background.
I attended DePaul University for my undergraduate work studying with Mary Stolper and have since performed in master
classes for artists such as Robert Dick, Jennifer Nitchman, Viviana Guzman, Elizabeth Buck, Thomas Robertello and
Donald Peck. Upon graduating, I had a studio of 50+ students to fund my auditioning and living expenses. I won an AirForce Band audition, as did my trumpeting husband! I played all over the Midwest on flute and piccolo in concert bands,
quintets and chamber groups. I even sang occasionally in the jazz band. After spending 4 years with the Air Force, I left to
stay at home with my kids. My husband continues in the Air Force band and I highly recommend this avenue for
performers, even if just for a four-year enlistment. As my kids got older, I began getting back into the practice routine and
I sought out a few lessons nearby with Dr. Monier at SIUE. I was blown away at the high level of performers in her studio
and decided it would be a great place to work on my Master’s degree. So, currently I’m in my second year of my degree
and at the same time, I’m playing flute in concert venues that have never even seen a flute performed live before! It’s very
exciting.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Courtney King
-Do you have a favorite practice routine? Can you describe it?
Daily, I play long tones to warm-up. Then, I play as much Gilbert Technical Flexibility as I have time for. Next, I practice
for whatever performance is on the books. Lately, I've been adding in jazz scales and licks to learn to have more available
to me in improvising.
-Describe any other hobbies you have.
I love young people. I homeschool my three kids so I’m always looking for new ways to learn and have a good time with
them. My husband and I teach a high school youth group class at our church. And, I also teach a music and movement
class through the SIUE Suzuki Strings program of which my kids are a part of. I play acoustic guitar as a hobby and
songwriting tool.
-What is your favorite style of music to listen to? To perform?
My favorite music is the kind that affects you so deeply that you have a physical reaction upon hearing it. Music that makes you want to dance around, music that makes memories flash through your mind; music that makes you smile, laugh or even cry. It's hard to put a finger on a genre and I like to keep an open mind. I do mostly prefer listening to and performing music that has been written in my lifetime. I believe as artists we have a responsibility to perform and bring to the public what modern day composers are writing. Play new music! -Do you have any advice for aspiring flutists?
Go after what you are passionate about! How do you do that? Always practice fundamentals and be moldable, willing to
learn. College students, you have more time to practice than you think. Make it a priority. No less than 4 hours a day.
Your future family-rearing business-running self will thank you later! Follow the path your teacher has for you, learning
as much as you can to help you discover what really moves you as an artist. Your final goal shouldn't just be to play the
flute beautifully, though that is a part of the whole, rather, how can you most effectively express to the world your unique
life experiences through you’re artistic voice… which happens to be a flute.
