Beginner Tips for Playing a Flute

Heidi Scott is a highly respected Illinois attorney and land title business owner whose industry experience spans more than two decades. Managing her private practice specializing in real estate and tax, she owns Schuyler Brown Land Title that handles real estate deeds in Illinois. Outside of her professional duties, Heidi Scott enjoys playing the flute.

The flute is a beautiful and versatile wind instrument that consists of a tube and a series of keys or fingerholes that produces a high pitched sound when blown across a hole. For beginners playing the flute can be challenging but with the right strategies, it can be accomplished.

One key tip when playing the flute is to start with the head joint. The flute is divided into three parts, but the head joint is where the sound is produced, making it a vital starting point. When a flute is fully assembled, many learners struggle to hold and balance it appropriately which interferes with the sound quality. However, using the head joint alone trains students to first learn how to produce a consistent sound before proceeding to the fully assembled flute.

Another key to successfully playing the flute is learning the proper posture and positioning. Young children have challenges because of their small sized hands which makes it more important for them to learn the correct position. The right posture is to stand up straight or sit upright with eyes looking straight ahead and the chain raised. This relaxes the body enabling a player to produce a longer, clearer and consistent sound.

An Overview of the Title Examination Process

An accomplished Illinois attorney and business owner, Heidi Scott has over two decades of legal experience. Heidi Scott is the owner of Illinois-based Schuyler Brown Land Title, a full-service title company that delivers title examination service, among others.

Title examination is a key process of a real estate transaction whereby a search is conducted to determine the real identity of the owners of a property as well as other information associated with a property. This process seeks to determine whether any encumbrances attached to the property might hinder or affect the transaction. Encumbrances include any restrictions placed on the property in the course of ownership and unpaid taxes.

Additional information sought during title examination includes plats (map of an area of land) and restrictive covenants that prohibit certain actions. Title examinations also disclose the history of property ownership, all the deeds issued in the past, and verifying the chain of the title. The examination also checks for any will and trust documents and how they can affect the status of the current transaction.
