Fluteiful Lifehacks 2
- Setting your lipstick with a powder prevents it from sticking to your instrument.
- Hem too long? Just pin it up as needed with the latch side towards you.
- Soak reeds in mouthwash to improve the taste.
- Coconut oil is instant lip moisture and a gentle makeup remover.
- Powder your hands if you get sweaty hands.
- Take your instrument(s) and music in a tote bag.
- For my vocalists: Tea with honey. Enough said.
- Comfort grips work wonders for shoes that are too big.
- Technically not a lifehack, but make sure your shoes have adequate arch support! If not, you will suffer from random foot cramps.
- Since marching season is coming up, I thought I'd address how convenient a wearable water bottle can be. Chances are, you can use a carabiner clip or a rubber band to wear a normal water bottle.
- Flutists, shake your hands out during rests if your fingers lock. It releases them like a charm.
What mouthwash do you use on the reeds?
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for the arch support!
Clips are good.
Why did I not consider comfort grips? All the shoes around are no less than US 7 for women.
