Make sure your tone isn't too forceful, you want a more dark and "nasty" sound so to speak. Also, your fingerslap needs a little work. However, all in all this is very nice!
she's talented, though the piece is a bit easy. still very good for a 9 year old. the movements she makes are very,,.. well , let's just say that she doesn't have to make those movements.

@steefjeuh Actually, this is a ridiculously hard piece. You obviously don't know at all what you're talking about. We're analyzing it in my theory class.
Very good, Jasmine! You play the flute very well. My advise for you as a teacher is to explore other repertoire more according to your age. If you like contemporary music, there is a book called "Melanges pour flute et bande magnetic" by different authors, editorial Hergel. You will like that book I guess. Best wishes for you!
Great job, only moving around should be kept to a minimum on any instrument. If you need to move to express yourself, that's fine, but it makes it harder to keep a solid sound and should be kept to a minimum. You've got potential to be a really great flutist, just keep working on it!
I think moving while playing an instrument is fine as long as there is not too much tension in your body. I used to play with too much tension and that did hinder my playing. But as long as I relaxed things became much easier! Moving can be a natural outgrowth of the expression of the music. But people differ in what amount of movement works for them. Her movements seem to show a natural understanding of the music she is playing. She has a lot of potential.
Huge improvement than your flight of the bumble bee video. Great job and keep up the improvement. (btw I still have no idea how she achieved grade 8 flute already).
One thing: You really need to be careful of your left wrist because it looks like from the way you are bending it, you may develop carpal tunnel syndrome later on and that is something that HURTS!
Ha Thank you!I have been playing for 9 years and im just now starting to get this odd feeling in my left wrist(like a fuzzy type of feeling,where i cant move it)but i keep my wrist up...hhmm
Wow, that girl has got some talent! I worry a bit about her playing difficult pieces like these.... it's going to be hard to reverse the bad habits she's demonstrating in these songs... they have a tendency to get committed into muscle memory.
Heck, I'm still ironing out bad habits in pieces that I learned last semester, preparing them for a recital. Boy, is it hard and frustrating! I'd hate for her to have to do the same thing for EVERY piece she's learned since she was nine....
NO LEAD FLUTE! lol dat wut my teacher says... but u shuold try to hold it up a lil more...it helps produce better sound nd keeps it more in tune =] very good tho!
yes . definitely, just as long as they don't rock the flute back and forth. one girl in my orchestra does that, and sometimes when i sit next to her she blocks my view. try not to do that. but moving, is key to expression.
good job, the moving helps with the ryhtm, my friends make fun of me whan i do tha!! lol... the only thing thats buggin me is how low ur putting ur flute down!
Wow, just wow. This girl is playing the song EXCELLENTLY, great tone and everything, and some of you are hooked on how she's moving. So what if she's moving? I move sometimes when I stand playing clarinet. Big deal. She's still got a good tone! So you critisizing idiots who are so hung up on the appearance of the child, go frick off!
As long as she plays well you shouldn't be critizing her playing. She's only 9. I know people well into their late teenage years who can't play like her even if they tried and practiced at it. She's very good. And does perfectly well without your critizism.
@HeinousProduction No one is doubting her talent, merely giving their opinions. Criticism is good, it's what makes good musicians great. If everyone always tells you you're doing good and nothing but that, then you won't ever progress, really.
The moving can get annoying to some people, but I was always getting told to move by judges. Probably just a personal preference. Awesome playing Jasmine. And you were able to get that high D! I know college students who struggle with that.
moving is a great way to express yourself while playing. i move around a lot, so? there is no reason criticize someone for putting forth passion and emotion in their music
I should point out that moving is a great way to help facilitate expression. However, moving too much, either in a way that doesn't sync with the music's message at any given point, or in a way that is overly exaggerated can distract from the performance, and can even mess with the performer.
I can't even begin to talk about how many masterclasses I've gone to where prominent teachers have told students to stop moving as much.
Wow Very good, only nine and already playing this type of stuff. She did a really good job! And her D's were very clear! :] I remember learning this solo at camp, it was a pain to play/listen to haha.
Good job for your age! You'll get better! I've been playing for 3 years and that is good! All you need to do is hold your flute up more your slanted! Otherwise you did good! WAY TO GO! Also don't breathe so loud, do it softly that is what takes away you great sound! Keep it up!
9 yrs old and you can play Density 21.5?! Well done, you're clearly an awesome talent. Like people are saying, working on your breath with some exercises like blowing a sheet of paper against the wall and seeing how long you can hold it for. Good luck with everything!!
Your amazing! But just as a little help, i guss you can breath like you do, just breaht at different periods. Then it'll sounds great, you only overblew one note, which is amazing. the beat was right. And i love your tone! Its the tone of a great flutist! - And your only nine! Think how amazing you can become with some more years practice!
Cool piano! I'm 12 and i've played 4 3years! Great virbrato! ur breathing is a little heavy, ruins that beautiful atmosphere! try breathing through your nose! While standing,u look like ur dancing. try to be more RELAXED =)
Actually, when playing if you 'dance' or flow with the music you get more into it, and feel the music, it may look a bit silly, but it does help some artists :)
ok, i doubt you;ve played for 3 years, or you never practice. because, HELLO?!?! Its like, against flute rules to breath through the nose!! You have to change the way you practice if you wanna be a good flutist. Shes is relaxed shes 'swaying' when she feels the beat. But aggreed - breathing is a bit heavy. But shes holds her breath for a long time, she just needs to have diff. breathing periods. -Good job little kid!
my habit of breathing through my nose is from playing clarinet. multi-tasker=me dont be hating! AND SINCE WHEN WERE THEIR RULES AGAINST PLAYING THE FLUTE??? doubting? i've been playing since i wuz 8!!! that makes 4 years since im now 13. She is a great flutist and ur comment (good job little kid) is very offending! netherlands? more like neanderthals!
Jasmine, you are a born flutist! Your tone is very very nice and I believe it will get even better! I wish they could teach the same way in Poland. I mean I don't think you could see a nine-year-old playing like that here.
I don't mean to sound critical about this cause you are an amazing musician but try holding your flute up a little bit... it will give you a better sound quality..... in high school they will require you to do this
I think that you are a very talented little girl i Know that when I started to play the flute the I wanted to play harder music. Keep up the good work and don't worry about the people who say that you need to play easier music.
Well, she is good for her age, but not even being familiar with this piece, I'm sure this is not the correct way to play it. I believe she needs to work on pieces that are not nearly so difficult, because on several of the high notes, she sound more like a whistle than a flute. I don't think she has enough air at one time to produce such a high note. I'm not trying to be negative, just saying she should play things that she can play well,
Although she plays very well, as a flutist I believe that she should wait just a tad before attempting such diffucult pieces. I know that especially when I was younger I could never hold my breath long enough. I am not familiar enough with this piece to make any solid judgements, but I think she does not yet have the lung capacity required to play college level music.
IN NO WAY AM I TRYING TO SAY THAT SHE IS A BAD FLUTE PLAYER OR THAT HER PERFORMANCE WAS TERRIBLE.
Boring? This song isn't boring. I don't know the song, but she did an amazing job. If you think this is bad, you obviously don't have much appreciation for Good articulation- especially for a NINE year old girl. o_o;
Were not leaving bad comments about her at all. Yes, Jasmine is a talented young flutist, but YOUNG is the key word. She needs to spend her efforts on flute basics, before she starts working on college level music. By her working on this type of music so soon, she is learning it incorrectly. It is much harder later on to fix something musicaly, when you have learned it wrong. She should spend her time working on etudes, tonal studies, and phrasing exercises.
Thank you, Furrealjoy. At least there is someone on here who can get past the gimmick of a 9 year old playing Density 21.5 and appreciate that this is a pretty awful performance because Jasmine's basics are HORRIBLY lacking. I couldn't agree more with you.
She sure is cute.. can't figure out why she is playing all these very advanced pieces so soon. Maybe she should play something easier like "Cassandra's Dream Song" by Brian Ferneyhough. (other college flutists would agree!) lol
It doesn't mean she has to "lower her scale" because she's young, but she certainly needs to because she simply isn't ready for music of this difficulty. No one is trying to be ageist here, but the music she plays in these videos is clearly well over her head.
That wasn't too good. I agree with the comment. On that 4th octave high D, you need to clean that. It should sound like you're putting all your air in for that note.
That was an incredibly unmusical performance. Please stop letting your daughter butcher major pieces of the repertoire, and get her a proper teacher. Her tone, breathing, interpretation, technique, etc. all need some major work. She clearly is not ready to be playing Poulenc, Varese, or any other important work. You're actually doing her a disservice by allowing her to "learn" such important music so poorly.
Very ambitious, and well managed to learn any of this. Since her tone is basically very good, the occasional problems (messy attacks) possible have a lot to do with the big physical body gestures. The trick is to move less but feel just as much, and convey it. Well done Jasmine
Keep on playing like that! Maybe in about 15 years from now, you're going to play Ferneyhough or Arthur Kampela, blindfolded! Congratulations. And don't bother about the bad comments. That's Envy.
Was she a bad girl and being punished by playing one of the most boring pieces ever written for flute? Ouch.
There's plenty of flute pieces with an actual melody. Or teach her improvisation...almost anyone with knowledge of scales and arpeggios could improv a piece with more charm.
I actually think this piece is one of the most funky solos for flute ever written. This might not be the best rendition (I'm impressed tho!!), but I've heard som cracking versions of this piece.
Well.. I used the term intentionally (sp?). I'm not talking about a Mercy Mercy kind of funk, but more a primal (in lack of a better word)funk. The intervals.. the rythm and pitch.
Looking at comments left on your site shows me what a fool you are. Like any ignorant person you'd rather talk nonsense than fact. Easy to see what are my favs...but no, you want to pretend I like Kenny G. Right.
Miles Davis is more my taste...Varese has no melody worth anything in this ugly sounding piece...poor girl here struggling with a piece like this; she should have better music not intellectual meandering posing as music.
How dare you not even specify which period of miles davis you prefer, this further show your ignorance. There are also notable similarities between the two composers and many of miles' side man, all being influenced by impressionist composers More importantly you trash an old classic. How can you be so stuck as to not even accept an 3/4 century old pieces? Just because your musical taste is bland and and one dimensional doesn't give you authority to criticize an old classical masterpiece.
very good work! only 2 advices: 1.the + marked notes needs very little breath but the strongest percussive you can do clicking the keys (i click every time the g clef with thw 4th finger, left hand, togheter the other keys). 2. the last note (B''') must be longer (but it needs a lot of breath!).
Amazing work for a 9 year old. Imagine what she's going to be like when her lungs are full grown! Agree with Sisterfister about keeping it in time. How much does Jasmine practice?
Oh actually one more thing...9 and 10 measures from the end, the 32nd to the dotted eighth I believe is supposed to be a C natural instead of C# (or maybe I have a different edition...not sure. Something to check :-P)
High D's at age 9...holy cow. This is good, it's really good. The only thing I recommend is practicing it with a metronome. It's quite strict in time despite the way the piece sounds. Really awesome though. Great sound and musicality.

I think that you are a very talented little girl i Know that when I started to play the flute the I wanted to play harder music. Keep up the good work and don't worry about the people who say that you need to play easier music.

Well, she is good for her age, but not even being familiar with this piece, I'm sure this is not the correct way to play it. I believe she needs to work on pieces that are not nearly so difficult, because on several of the high notes, she sound more like a whistle than a flute. I don't think she has enough air at one time to produce such a high note. I'm not trying to be negative, just saying she should play things that she can play well,

Although she plays very well, as a flutist I believe that she should wait just a tad before attempting such diffucult pieces. I know that especially when I was younger I could never hold my breath long enough. I am not familiar enough with this piece to make any solid judgements, but I think she does not yet have the lung capacity required to play college level music.
IN NO WAY AM I TRYING TO SAY THAT SHE IS A BAD FLUTE PLAYER OR THAT HER PERFORMANCE WAS TERRIBLE.

Boring? This song isn't boring. I don't know the song, but she did an amazing job. If you think this is bad, you obviously don't have much appreciation for Good articulation- especially for a NINE year old girl. o_o;

this song is so boring and boring sounding.

Were not leaving bad comments about her at all. Yes, Jasmine is a talented young flutist, but YOUNG is the key word. She needs to spend her efforts on flute basics, before she starts working on college level music. By her working on this type of music so soon, she is learning it incorrectly. It is much harder later on to fix something musicaly, when you have learned it wrong. She should spend her time working on etudes, tonal studies, and phrasing exercises.

Thank you, Furrealjoy. At least there is someone on here who can get past the gimmick of a 9 year old playing Density 21.5 and appreciate that this is a pretty awful performance because Jasmine's basics are HORRIBLY lacking. I couldn't agree more with you.

Argh. Agreed, but I have to give it to her that she is very good for her age.

Don't worry about the people leaving bad comments. She is doing terrific!Their are 5 flute players at my school and none of them compare to Jasmine
altokingdom3360 4 years ago
She sure is cute.. can't figure out why she is playing all these very advanced pieces so soon. Maybe she should play something easier like "Cassandra's Dream Song" by Brian Ferneyhough. (other college flutists would agree!) lol

Just because she's young doesn't mean she should lower the scale! She's developing her skill.... more....
AmarisClaiborne 4 years ago
It doesn't mean she has to "lower her scale" because she's young, but she certainly needs to because she simply isn't ready for music of this difficulty. No one is trying to be ageist here, but the music she plays in these videos is clearly well over her head.

I totally agree with you...especially around 2:30 things get um... well ... see for yourself

once again with the professional model flute give a fricken closed hole, c foot, y arm flute, ot is that like a cheap flute?
luie425 4 years ago
That wasn't too good. I agree with the comment. On that 4th octave high D, you need to clean that. It should sound like you're putting all your air in for that note.

That was an incredibly unmusical performance. Please stop letting your daughter butcher major pieces of the repertoire, and get her a proper teacher. Her tone, breathing, interpretation, technique, etc. all need some major work. She clearly is not ready to be playing Poulenc, Varese, or any other important work. You're actually doing her a disservice by allowing her to "learn" such important music so poorly.

Very ambitious, and well managed to learn any of this. Since her tone is basically very good, the occasional problems (messy attacks) possible have a lot to do with the big physical body gestures. The trick is to move less but feel just as much, and convey it. Well done Jasmine

Keep on playing like that! Maybe in about 15 years from now, you're going to play Ferneyhough or Arthur Kampela, blindfolded! Congratulations. And don't bother about the bad comments. That's Envy.

Was she a bad girl and being punished by playing one of the most boring pieces ever written for flute? Ouch.
There's plenty of flute pieces with an actual melody. Or teach her improvisation...almost anyone with knowledge of scales and arpeggios could improv a piece with more charm.

I actually think this piece is one of the most funky solos for flute ever written. This might not be the best rendition (I'm impressed tho!!), but I've heard som cracking versions of this piece.
gurcrist 4 years ago
Funky is a word I usually associate with Black Music...and this is about as far from that as I can hear. Mercy, Mercy Mery is a funky tune.
Rexicano 4 years ago
Well.. I used the term intentionally (sp?). I'm not talking about a Mercy Mercy kind of funk, but more a primal (in lack of a better word)funk. The intervals.. the rythm and pitch.

Go back and listen to your boring Kenny G. Density 21. The piece is based on two melodies you idiot, one modal, one atonal.

Looking at comments left on your site shows me what a fool you are. Like any ignorant person you'd rather talk nonsense than fact. Easy to see what are my favs...but no, you want to pretend I like Kenny G. Right.
Miles Davis is more my taste...Varese has no melody worth anything in this ugly sounding piece...poor girl here struggling with a piece like this; she should have better music not intellectual meandering posing as music.
Rexicano 2 years ago
How dare you not even specify which period of miles davis you prefer, this further show your ignorance. There are also notable similarities between the two composers and many of miles' side man, all being influenced by impressionist composers More importantly you trash an old classic. How can you be so stuck as to not even accept an 3/4 century old pieces? Just because your musical taste is bland and and one dimensional doesn't give you authority to criticize an old classical masterpiece.

QTDramaqween2 4 years ago
very good work! only 2 advices: 1.the + marked notes needs very little breath but the strongest percussive you can do clicking the keys (i click every time the g clef with thw 4th finger, left hand, togheter the other keys). 2. the last note (B''') must be longer (but it needs a lot of breath!).

she hit higher than a high D peeeps.
She is going to be good.. one thing to work on possibly would be her articulation, her sound is amazing, just sometimes she just attacks too hard..

Thanks a lot, You are expert!!! You know this great piece very well!!! Thanks for your comment and suggestion, I will also check the edition too.
flutesir 5 years ago
Oh actually one more thing...9 and 10 measures from the end, the 32nd to the dotted eighth I believe is supposed to be a C natural instead of C# (or maybe I have a different edition...not sure. Something to check :-P)
sisterfister55 5 years ago
High D's at age 9...holy cow. This is good, it's really good. The only thing I recommend is practicing it with a metronome. It's quite strict in time despite the way the piece sounds. Really awesome though. Great sound and musicality.
sisterfister55 5 years ago
This is the world premiere in that age group!
Applause!
But it is a difficult piece I never really understood ;-)
