Everyone needs some resources to look into now and again.  Since so many people have done this so very well (and with such thoroughness) I am not going to attempt to create my own online information source.  Instead, I'd like to point you in the direction of some great pages that will be of utmost interest and help to you.  (And if you have a great resource page to share, or a suggestion of a book or blog to read, please contact me and let me know about it!)

One useful thing you might do is to check my Flute Studio Blog here on this site for any useful articles or tips.  I tend to focus more on motivation and productivity in my writings than anything else because I feel our drive to succeed is a very important part of learning well.  Please enjoy the articles.  :)

GENERAL FLUTE RESOURCES:

One of my absolute heroes of flute teaching and playing, (and a most generous, observant, and helpful human being) is Keith Underwood.  You can watch an interview with him here.  As mentioned in the opening lines of the interview, Keith's teaching style and uncanny ability to diagnose and redirect have made him a go-to resource, a "Mr. Fix It" of sorts for professionals worldwide.  You absolutely must check out some of his classes and techniques.  There is a pay-to-view option for many of his classes where you can view him helping pros and amateurs alike, as well as players of all instruments.

You can find pages and pages of seemingly endless flute resources by clicking and exploring the following:
