@anettepartickofil I started when I was 3, so I've really been playing my whole life.

--Emma

[anettepartickofil]

This is amazing. I do not understand how you could learn it by heart,and how you played this when you were seven years. I´m from Czech republic,probably do not know,but I admire you !!!

[GeoRockMin]

--Emma

[tepere4]

@GeoRockMin Well, I think taht I have seen all your videos. But I don't play the flute. I play the piano and the violin. But I would like to play the flute. But my parents say that I can't play 3 instruents, that's enough. But I love the flute! And I love your videos too!

[1bandluver1]

Wow, I wish I was that good on my flute; but practice makes perfect right? :) What kind of flute do you have? I am hoping to get a Yamaha 361 YFL this year:)

[GeoRockMin]

@1bandluver1 Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Yah practice practice, it's the only way.

I have a Powell Conservatory flute - I love it!!! Have fun with your new flute!!!

--Emma

--Emma

[rawrawtaytay]

It's very good!! But it would better if she didn't breathe so hard, cuz i can hear her, but this is a hard piece and she's still young, so i understand :) VERY GOOD!

[GeoRockMin]

@PianoGirl2111 Hi Juliette, Thanks!!! I don't exactly know how I memorize stuff, but I like it better than having the music on the stand staring at me. I'm always afraid I'll knock the music off. We're both so lucky we play the flute, the most magical instrument in the world!!!

--Emma

[MrGreenFlower420]

I played trumpet for 6 years in school. I was i concert band, honers bands, marching bands. Now I write my own stuff on guitar but.....Nothing compares to a child who can play an instrument that well with confidence. You've got it girl! If you can play like that in front of people while being videoed, life will be a cake walk for you. There is nothing you can't accomplish or do!!!!! :)

[GeoRockMin]

@MrGreenFlower420 Hi, Thanks!!!  You're really nice!!! Very cool you play the guitar, my sister plays guitar in a band. Thanks again for watching!!!

[RU480]

this is reallllly pretty. your tone is great.

[GeoRockMin]

@RU480 Hi, Thanks!!! I just don't think theres anything more magical than the sound of the flute!!!

--Emma

[francoannan]

Nice.

It'd be great to cut all your moving and swaying right down - you're wasting energy and you're losing time because of it.

Really improve working on your breathing too, for this piece, but also in general; it'd help you keep tempo too. Get your breathing exercises out.

Get ALL those notes out too - ALL. When you practice, repeat all the bars you're dropping notes 5 times, or take those bars and rinse them.

This was posted a long time ago, so I think these issues would be sorted.

[GeoRockMin]

@francoannan Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Like you said, this was a really long time ago. Maybe you can check out one of my newer videos?? Thanks again!!!

--Emma

[SarahMeliaa]

this is what I'm playing for solo & ensemble in two weeks, and I'm pretty sure you play it way better here, and I'm 15, not to mention 3rd chair as a sophomore in one of the top 5A bands of Texas...GREAT JOB. :)

[GeoRockMin]

@SarahMeliaa Hi, Thanks for watching!!! The Chaminade is so much fun to play and it sounds like you're a terrfific player!!! I hope you do great at solo & ensemble contest!!!

--Emma

[morgan9826]

@hulagirl524 the "wavy" is called verbrato, it comes naturally to some, and others have to work at it. Try playing long tones and experimenting. :)

[TheHyourinmaru23]

@hulagirl524 its called vibrato the "wavy thing" u say

[hulagirl524]

How? How in the world do u play that beautifully I've been first chair and I never sounded as good, mine doesn't sound wavy if u know wat I mean

[GeoRockMin]

@hulagirl524 Hi, That's so awesome you're first chair!!! You must be a really good player too!!! For tone I just really spend alot of time thinking about how I want my flute to sound and then I try to match what I hear in my head. Hope that helps!!!

--Emma

[sortofsisters]

AMAZING

[GeoRockMin]

@sortofsisters Thank you!!! I really appreciate that!!!

[GeoRockMin]

@GNAANGU Thank you!!!  And thanks for watching!!!

--Emma

[Chance6868]

Really good! I

Play the flute myself and love it! Can I make a suggestion? Try holding your flute at a level angle so it's not pointing at the floor!(:

[GeoRockMin]

@Chance6868 Hi, Thanks!!! Good advice too!!! This video was a long time ago and I think I was kind of droopy becuase I was little. Maybe you can check out one of my newer videos?? I'm 11 now.

--Emma

[Fauxlaf]

@Chance6868 Look at Galway, Rampal, Moyse, Pattillo. It´s always pointing to the floor. To hold it horizontal is no good. What should be better? Just more stress for arms and shoulders!

[TheKubove]

very good

[GeoRockMin]

@TheKubove Hi, Thanks for watching!!! --Emma

[JazzyPennyReid]

Who on earth would dislike this?? amazing!! :D

[TheBieberfever146]

amazingg!! im 13 and just today got this for my solo :/ but it dosent sound right like yours any tips? And in the first measure are those A Flats??

[GeoRockMin]

@TheBieberfever146 Hi, Awesome you're palying the Chaminade!!! When I learned this I practiced the technical stuff alot - way way more than the lyrical parts. And maybe use a metronome to keep the runs really even. And I know I spent some time thinking about how the sections should fit together. Hope that helps!!! Let me know how it goes!!!

--Emma

[aregrettable]

THAT IS AMAZING!!! I play clarinet, but still, that girl has extreme talent!!! Her arms don't even look long enough to play it...LOL

[GeoRockMin]

@aregrettable LOL!!! Very cool you play the clarinet!!! Have fun!!!

--Emma

[crazyflute2000]

Your tone is so great! Very good talent that you have there and keep it up!

[ayerto]

Oh WOW! That is just simply amazing! I love the way you play, it sounded so perfect!

I really envy your skills! How long have you been playing? And how much time did it take you to learn this beautiful song?

[GeoRockMin]

@ayerto Hi, Thanks!!! I started when I was 3 so I've been playing a long time. But this video was a long time ago when I was 7 - I'm 11 now. Usually it takes a couple weeks to learn the notes to a piece but then it takes longer to figure out what the piece says. But it's so much fun!!! --Emma

[BadKidBaby2011]

[pcbass2]

Fantastic ! hi Emma , i'm a professional bassist and i usually don't enjoy listening to high pitched shreiky sounding instruments , but i did enjoy listening to you play coz you made that flute sound heavenly (not piercing) to my ears ,and you made that complicated piece sound easy , great pianist backing you up too ...... God Bless ... keep on playin . Paul Candelaria

[GeoRockMin]

@pcbass2 Hi Paul, LOL!!! I kind of know what you mean but we can't all be so cool and down low like the bass!!! Thanks for being so nice!!!

This is FANTASTIC!!!! Amazing job! Do you know the name of the song?

[takakogane1031]

Listen to your music, I bought a flute today.  Spending　◎ hundred thousand yen. But how much it would take an amateur can play well.

[GeoRockMin]

@takakogane1031 Hi, Awesome you got a flute!!! Have fun playing!!!

--Emma



[thingsuhearinMB]

You should join marching band when your older :)

[GeoRockMin]

@thingsuhearinMB Hi, Thanks!!! Marching band looks so fun!!!

--Emma

[takakogane1031]

Great performance.

Young girl, " H管 (the H lowest note tube)" It is amazing to use.

Sorry incorrect in English。From Japan.

[GeoRockMin]

[GeoRockMin]

@LuLumakeupurmind Hi, It's great you play the flute!!! For me it really helps to sing and hum the piece when I'm not practicing. Maybe it will work for you too??

--Emma

[MrEdga500]

WOW Emma, Im pretty sure you'll be the greatest flute player the world has ever seen!! Keep it up!!! Hey, I assume you own the French Composer book. So i was wondering if you have ever played "Andante Pastoral et Scherzettino" by Taffanel. I'm playing that this year and it would really help to have some tips from a true master! (:

[GeoRockMin]

@MrEdga500 Hi, Thank you!!! I've played a bunch of the French pieces but not that one. But I think the best thing is to really have fun with it. Some people just play them like exam pieces but they can really sing and beautiful. I hope you play great!!!

--Emma

[cisp360]

No, you are not blowing the flute. You are singing :D. Dear little beautiful girl, will you be my teacher :D

[jeshika22]

@GeoRockMin Hi Emma! I understand Japanese so I can translate. It says "And she can even play a B-foot! God, that's cool!" You are now famous in Japan apparently :)

i love your play!

[GeoRockMin]

@MissMila255 Hi, Thanks!!! I was 7 in this video but I'm 11 now. In a piece like this I usually practice the technical parts way way more than the rest of it. And then spend some time thinking about how you want the sections to fit together. I hope that makes sense. Have fun playing in the concert!!!

--Emma

[swirlylollipop100]
