18. ”Our Limitations Are a Gift to Ourselves” - Tika Douthit, flute

Episodes 18, 19, and 20 form a trilogy where I will be talking to a musician who focuses on one specific family of the woodwinds.  This episode features Dr. Tika Douthit, an assistant professor at Winston-Salem State University, adjunct professor at Forsyth Tech Community College, and principal flutist for the Piedmont Wind Symphony.  He talks about the flute family and his experiences in the pit, about the importance of an emotional connection with the music, and being our own inspiration.
