any good piccolo etudes/practices?

my orchestra is over for the year so i don't have anything to regularly practice with anymore. Does anyone have any good reccomendations for practices to keep my piccolo busy? If it's mainly relevant at all I want to work on my upper register and volume particularly but i'm open to general exercises as well. anything is better than what i have now, which is nothing haha

How easy are micro/macro to self study?

I'm thinking about being a business major (preferably going for music business career wise but probably just going to be a business major to keep options open). My school doesn't offer either so I'm wondering if it's reasonable for me to try to self study them. I'm going to be a junior next year if that's relevant at all and I'm also planning to do stats that year.

Also I'm assuming it's best to do one at a time but would it be a horrible idea to do both if I really wanted to? probably a dumb question but just asking anyway haha

High school student considering music business- thoughts? and tips?

Hi, I'm a sophomore currently and have been thinking about what i should major in in college. As of now my ECs consist of a lot of classical music stuff. I've been playing flute since around 4th grade and I do band and orchestra. I do really enjoy it but frankly I can guarantee that I am not the kind of person that can handle doing that as a career. I did All-state band a couple months ago and the conductor was telling us about alternative music industry careers that aren't performance, including music business which got me thinking about it.

I am interested in continuing to do music in college regardless of whether I do a career in it although I am starting to think that I would like to. From what I've seen so far it seems safer to major in business just to be safe so that I could go into other industries if I needed to and that music business major generally isn't a good idea. How true is that?

What do the potential careers/job market look like?

I'm not hard-locked on classical music, I do like a lot of kinds of music. I've been going to a few concerts recently which have made me curious what life working there is like too.

I was also wondering about what extracurriculars or opportunities etc would be good to do? In particular, places to look for said opportunities haha

Help me find a recording for this piece?

I’ve been trying to look for a recording of this piece but i can only find recordings of the other stamitz flute concerto in G. Frankly i’m starting to think this piece doesn’t actuall exist at all and i’m extremely confused right now haha. I can’t find the opus number or anything

Edit for further clarification: i believe this is NOT the opus 29, i know that that is the more well known stamitz flute concerto in G but it’s not this one if you look at it. The music is not the same
