Flutes (Jade Absent)

 * What we did**
 * Assessment for Line 7 performance targets
 * Meghan met mastery
 * Ava: still working
 * Achieve a smaller aperture by firming embouchure and rolling the headjoint away from her lip.
 * Embouchure is not yet firm enough to allow a smaller aperture causing the volume of the air to be too large and too slow.
 * Firming the embouchure at the corners and working toward a smaller aperture will set her up for better success
 * She was able to accomplish this today but did not achieve consistency.


 * What to do**
 * Practice playing Eb and F on page 8


 * Looking Ahead**
 * Meeting performance targets on lines 12, 14, 17, 22 and 23
