Is there truly an American School of Flute Playing, similar to that of France, or is it purely said French School with an American accent? I haven’t got the answer yet, but come join me as I trace the origins of American Flute Playing back to a Frenchman, which then passed through William Kincaid, Joseph Mariano and Julius Baker, to a potential tradition of American Flute Playing.  If you'd like to support the podcast, you can sign up for just 5 quid a month to be a Patron at; patreon.com/TheInlineGFlutePodcast Inline G will ALWAYS be free of charge, but signing up helps let this podcast reach new heights, if you can afford it.
