I just asked a friend if I could borrow his (long-unused) flute to start my
(light) foray into doubling. Are there any thoughts as to how to teach
myself flute? I don't really want to take up private lessons for just that,
since I am not even planning on going into music, I just want to be able to
be in the occasional area musical.
Also, what sources might I look at for picking up a _very_ inexpensive (but
playable) sax (alto, I guess), and oboe (or are there other instruments that
I should work on first?).
