Flute playing

Both of my daughters play flute. I am just so amazed at how fast they picked up playing. I remember when I was young, my cousin played flute and I tried to play her flute and could not make a sound come out of it. My oldest daughter takes lessons and is a wonderful flute player. My younger has only been playing for about 5 months and has already won some competitions. They do practice a lot and I don't even have to remind them to practice....
