AWARENESS IGNITES ACTION. âAs an educator in the field of microfinance, it is rare to find those opportunities that can bring your students closer to the action before they join the professional world. âI felt that my Human Connections internship this summer was designed specially for me. This experience has transformed me as a person.
Karst Cave, China. Photograph by Raymond Gehman. Looking like the set of a science fiction movie, China's Reed Flute Cave is bathed in purple-blue light. Created by an underground river more than a half million years ago, this highly accessible karst formation is one of the region's most popular tourist attractions.
The flute is the smallest and highest pitched beginning band instrument. It is a member of the woodwind family even though it is made of metal and doesnât use a reed to create the sound. In order to produce a tone on the flute, the player blows across the tone hole of the mouthpiece, allowing the air to split at the far edge of the hole. That creates a whistle sound.
