Yes, you can become an artist without instruction from a teacher--from all accounts, Sidney Lanier was wholly selftaught--but it will prove a slow and not altogether safe process. Situated as you are without any definite ideal of a good flute tone, you must of necessity labor in the dark, determining principles as you progress. With an ideal of beautiful tone ever before you as an incentive for emulation you will have something tangible upon which to work. Can you not manage by some means or other to go away and study with a specialist upon your instrument, even if but for a short while? You could then readily acquire the fundamental principles governing artistic flute-playing, and having mastered the principles, your efforts at self-instruction would be directed in safe channels. Conscientious, well directed practice with a keen sense of selfcriticism will accomplish wonders. In the degree that you strive for your goal will you succeed in achieving it.
