A few years ago, The Notation is Not the Music became very popular then (like around 2014), so I bought the book. Then I decided to translate this book in Chinese to benefit my fellow flutists in Taiwan, also in China. 

The original plan was to publish it. But I found out this book might be too difficult for the general public because it involves too many aspects. Even I, as a musicians of over 20 years, still feel I need to sit down in a coffee shop and take notes on it in order to digest the information. This book also best benefit the flutists (of course! Mr. Barthold is a flutist) who know all the wind methods and intermediate techniques/musicality with some extent. 

So I told my publisher that I am not going to publish it. Before I reconsider it, I might just post it here. I still want this to benefit some wind players... ! 

I am so happy to share the flutes and recorders to the 4th grade students in Ridge Street School in Newark! I played the soprano recorder, alto recorder, baroque flute, classical flute, and modern flute. They liked the modern flute, baroque flute, and alto recorder the most. You can tell from their faces that they were amused.  
I wish to do these educational visits more, and will be my focus in the future!
