    Your the best flute player in the world for me!! Keep up the good work! Take care^^

    Haelin :)

  • @HaelinPark Hi Haelin!!!  What's up?? Thanks for being my YouTube friend!!!

    --Emma

  • I'm pretty jealous right now. I have to play this for my solo/ensemble competition and I'm 17 and can't even play this good. This is the first solo I've really tried that's difficult. :( sadpanda.

  • @m0002856 Don't be a sadpanda, the Ganne is so awesome, you're luckypanda!!! Go play you're very best and show everyone how much you love the flute!!! And let me know ow it goes okay??

    --Emma

  • How long were you working on the piece before you performed it? Btw love it!! I'm playing it now for a contest and I'm 14!!!!!!! (:

  • @lovelynights30199 Hi, I'm not sure but I think it was about a month. Good luck in the competition!!! Let me know how it goes!!!

    --Emma

  • Omg, now when I'm learning this, too, I appreciate this video even more! I'm just wondering how you get the double tonguing in the schertzo so sonorous and clear?? How do you practice your DT?

    ~Kira :):)

  • @kirtzu97 Hi Kira, I hope you're doing great!!! I practice DT alot every day. Usually 5 to 10 minutes every day. When my tongue gets tired I still keep going. Have fun playing the Ganne, it's so much fun!!! --Emma

  • @GeoRockMin i say your parents did something right cause by the time most people pick up an instrument they have intrests in other things that are dumb so they never learn to love it. i play oboe and i dident start till i was 13 and i still love it ans started flute about 2 months ago. it rocks

  • @izadeeg Flute totally rocks!!! But oboe is pretty cool too!!!

    --Emma

  • I'm doing this song now and im 13...How did you manage to get to this song at a such a early age??

    Just wondering cause it says your 9 in the description

  • @JOKING835 Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Yah, my teacher just thought it was time for me to learn the French Conservatory pieces and she was totally right. It really helped everything about my playing.

    Have fun playing the Ganne!!! --Emma

  • Wouw, you go girl!!!! making people soooo happy with your music! Listening again and again here... thanks so much! xxx Julia, from the Netherlands

  • @Fluit48 Hi Julia, Thanks!!! I'm just happy anyone will listen!!! I hope I get to go to the Netherlands someday!!! --Emma

  • one of my favourite flute videos on youtube. don't you get nervous when you play in front of people?

  • @blueberrycakecz Hi, Thanks!!! I really appreciate it!!! Yah I get nervous but then when the music starts all I think about is the flute and the music.

    --Emma

  • That was awesome. I played this with a friend on a spring arts festival for school (played the piano part for him). Love this song :D

  • @Talo001 Wow, you must be an awesome pianist!!! The piano part is really hard. Congratulations!!!

    --Emma

  • you are great emma !!!!

  • Learn all you can while you are young, because you learn more rapidly and it will always be second nature for you. YOu will be a major performer in the future!

  • Fabulous!! Dont you just love these FRench Composers...IM sure you have the book. Great sound and seems like you are holding your mouth more with the corners down now. Your tonguing and dynamics are fabulous!

  • @mlp633 Hi, Thank you!!! Yah, I love love love the French Composers book!!! The pieces are so fun to play and they do every flutey thing!!! --Emma

  • Such a beautiful piece...

    And you perform it so well and emotionally.

    Your teacher must be a genius (as you).

    But aren't you excited while this recital?

  • @TheHottchen Hi, Thanks!!!  My teacher is incredible and I'm really lucky lucky lucky to have her for my teacher!!!

    --Emma

  • Listening to you play helps me sleep. It moves my soul.

  • How long do you already play the flute, Emma?!

  • @irizjuh1321 Hi, I started when I was 3. Thanks for watching!!! --Emma

  • @GeoRockMin Wow, that's a very young age!! How long do you practice every week?! And do you know what?! You should really try to play Badinerie or Adiemus!! Those songs are so awesome and I'd to hear you play one of these songs!! :) Iris

  • Oh my goodness. I'm 15 and I'm learning this song right now. That was absolutley breathtakeing. Wonderful job!!!

  • @SerRena01 Thank you!!! :) :) !!! --Emma

  • Emma...you are incredible! You have such a beautiful tone! And all your Rhythms are so clean and perfect! I wish I could play like you! Italk about you to all my flute friends! And tell them how amazing you are!!!! I love watching your videos! Your incredible! I hope to get as good as you someday!!

  • @italiantuna28 Hi, Thank you!!! That means alot to me!!! Flutes Rock!!!

    --Emma

  • @GeoRockMin Of course they rock! Thats why I play it! im a fan of you! You are like the best flute player I know of! You are so amazing! Im jealous! Never stop playing flute! I am your number 1 fan! I tell all my band friends, even if they dont play flute, to look you up! No joke!

  • When I was 7 I had a choice of whether I wanted to play flute or violin. I chose violin and am so regretting it now!

  • @WorldofGino Hi, The violin is beautiful too but it would be awesome if you played the flute!!!

    --Emma

  • @GeoRockMin Trust me, violin isn't beautiful when I play it. I am currently trying to persuade my parents to let me learn the flute, it's going alright!

  • @WorldofGino our School Did The Same, But We Got The Choice When We Were 10 My Music Teacher Said The Flue Was Best For Me Because I Could Hold My Breath For Up To 2:00 Minutes, So, Im Really Happy Now. (:

  • Very nice, I ask how long you learn to play?

  • @mulisek100 Hi, I started when I was 3, so I've been playing a really long time. Thanks for watching!!!

    --Emma

  • I keep replaying this over and over! How do you double tongue so cleanly?

  • @MEskier1023 Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Double tongue takes a lot of practice -- a lot lot lot -- every day -- just like tone and scales. --Emma

  • I spent ages on the Flute World website, and I don't even play the flute!

  • I really like how you play the flute. :)

    I played this song on a music competition. :)

    I have a question. How long you play the flute on a day?

    You're amazing! I can't believe that you play all the songs by heart and with this age. :)

  • @MrsZimtstaernli Hi, Thank you!!! I think when this video was made I practiced about 2 hours a day. But I'm 11 now so I practice more now. Thanks again!!! --Emma

  • I'm learning this piece at 14 years old, and you can play it perfectly at 9! Do you double tongue the scherzo? Do you have any tips for memorization? Amazing job

  • @MEskier1023 Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Yes I double tongue the scherzo. It's the only way I can get the speed I want. For memorizing it helps me if I sing or hum the piece alot. That way I can practice anywhere. Also it really helps if you memorize the paino part too. I don't usually actually play it, but I learn it and it really helps. Hope that helps!!! --Emma

  • Amazing. It took me well-over a year to prepare this piece for a recital when I was 18. And you're half my age playing it like that? Pretty awesome, Emma- pretty awesome.

  • @Coleearly1991 :) :) !!! --Emma

  • ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

  • I know high school juniors and seniors who cant even run through this piece. You are amazing!!!!

  • Where did you get this music?? I absolutley love this song!!

  • @Japangirl1997 Hi, I get my music from the FluteWorld website. You can get it on its own, but its also in a book called Flute Music by French Composer that has a ton of awesome music. Have fun!!!

    --Emma

  • does anyone else when they play or watch someone else play flute just love to watch the fingers? Sometimes I'll just stand infront of the mirror playing a really fast song or just running scales and will be just fasinated by how my fingers move

  • Reminds me of zelda music

  • @mizzyAt  Zelda is awesome!!! :) :) --Emma

  • Good work kid!

  • What class is this cause I want to play for my solo?

  • @ThePURPLE165 Hi, Thanks for watching!!! This piece is so much fun to play!!! I don't know what class, but it's standard rep, one of the Paris Conservatory test pieces. Have fun learning and playing it!!!

    --Emma

  • Fantastic!!! Very impressive. Beautiful tone....just magnificent. Bravo. playing this piece for my jury in college and I don't nearly sound nearly as wonderful as you

  • Hi, You Are Such An Inspiration! I'm Only Ten And I'm Only A Begginer, You Are Much Better Than Me! Please Do me A Favor And Never Stop Playing The Flute, Always Remember You Are Amazing Just The Way You Are, Good Luck For The Rest Of The Stuff You Do. P.S. I Love Your Dress In This Video.

  • @SelenaGomezFanForver Thanks!!! You're really nice!!!

    --Emma

  • WOW! thats amazing haha, i'm learning this piece right now, but you have definatley mastered it. How long have you been practicing this piece? Anyway 5 stars!

  • @MrTartaruga543 Hi, Thanks!!! It's a really fun piece to play, have fun learning it!!! I think I was playing it about 2 months when the video was made. Thanks again!!! --Emma

  • Omg girl you kick butt! Amazing! How old were you when you started playing? Don't you ever stop playing the flute, kid, you're gonna be famous one day! I've been playing since you were five, Emma, and yet you're still better than me! -3 Respect. You. Are. Amazing.

  • @DaPuddingMonster Hi, Thanks for watching!!! I started when I was 3. I love it!!! Have fun playing your flute!!!

    --Emma

  • Beautiful performance Emma! :)

  • @AzureBluee  Hi, Thank you!!! --Emma

  • Woah... I watched a video of you from a year ago, your rate of improvement is actually pretty insane. You are gonna be famous one day.

  • @baconpatrol1 I think perhaps she already is. :]

  • I love this song, I am currently working on it. What kind of flute do you have? Also, who is your teacher? You are very good!!!

  • @cornmazing Hi, I have a Powell Conservatory flute. I love it!!! It's great you're learning Andante and Scherzo!!! Have fun!!! --Emma

  • Nice!!!!

  • Wow, Emma! You have really made a great progress indeed. You seem more confident! Bravo!!!

  • Fantastic, BARVO!!!!!!

  • Emma...

    I have no words for the level of talent that you have been blessed with! You're going to be phenomenal because you are already very, very good. As you get older and gain more musicality, technique, and prowess I pray that you will still be as sweet of a person as you are now!

    -Best of blessings

    De'Shaun

  • When did you start going to the conventions, and what Is it like packing for them when you aren't performing. Do you still bring your flute even if you're not performing? And I have memorized the first part of Andante et Scherzo! Its a really beautiful song. You should leave a cOmment on my "special" video. --Jason

  • Hey Emma, I was hoping that you would be able to tell me what the NFA conventions are like.

    --Jason

  • @SuperPike8 Hi Jason, They're lots of fun. Kind of flute heaven, concerts, talks, exhibits, lessons. Really fun!!! --Emma

  • Do you have a way that you can hold F4 as long as 2 whole notes? I can only hold it if it's staccato and a quarter note!

    --Jason

  • @SuperPike8 Hi Jason, It's usually not that kind of note I think, but there's only one way, save the air.

    --Emma

  • Hi Emma! Hope all is well -- I'm going to be working on this piece this semester and when I was searching it on youtube for various interpretations/performances I stumbled across yours. Great job! :)

  • Hi Emma my name is Paulo and I am 14 and you are amazing and I was wondering if you would think that this flute would be a good choice because it's on ebay but it is solid wood and i has a Bb footjoint and I'm also getting a C# trill key and I was hoping you'd answer.

    -Paulo

  • @starbuxdude56 Hi Paulo, It's very exciting to get a new flute!!! But I don't really know about wood flutes, I've only played on silver. And I'd want to try out a flute first before I buy it. I'm probably not the best person to ask. Sorry. --Emma

  • @GeoRockMin Thank you but unfortunately I can't try it out because it is a music store in china. But for silver flutes, would you recommend a Gemeinhardt 3SB?

  • @starbuxdude56  Hi, I've never played one so I don't know. Sorry. --Emma

  • @GeoRockMin Thank you but unfortunately I can't try it out because it is a music store in china. But for silver flutes, would you recommend a Gemeinhardt 3SB?

  • Don't worry, I'm sure if you played the paper plate it would sound amazing. You are such a good player. I expect to see you ruling the world someday.

  • You are so great!

    Enjoy the performances and have fun!

  • You are so great!

    I like flute too but I cannot play it like you do.

  • I love how talented you are! I wish I possessed the same magic fingers to make my music sound as beautiful. :) Do you have any advice on how to make playing the lowest c on the flute easier? I have trouble keeping my middle right finger over the hole of its key (sorry i don't know the name of the key :/) (and my right ring finger key has a plug in it) and so i take an extra half second to get the sound of the c out...and when it does become audible it is airy and unpleasant at the beginning.

  • @Uhm0202 Hi, Sorry I missed your question. What I do for low notes is the opposite of what most teachers say, so it might only work for me. But what I do is use tons of air but I make my lips make a bigger flatter circle. I have a plug in my D too, so that might not be a problem. Maybe you can ask your teacher if the pad is leaking. Let me know how it goes!!!

    --Emma

  • This is amazing!! Great job! Your tone on the high notes is superb :) Thank you for sharing this!

  • @saharadesserto Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Yes Yamaha makes good flutes. Actually airedalegirl99 never asked what kind of flute I play. I play a Powell Conservatory flute which is also very good. Have fun playing your flute!!!

    --Emma

  • @GeoRockMin Don't worry Emma. This girl is just jealous. I can understand her, you play the flute so fantastic you'll always have some enemies, but that's no problem since you've got friends :) Keep practising and never stop to love the flute! Greetings, Martha

  • @GeoRockMin Emma NEVER stop playing and dont listen to airedalegirl99 shes just jealous because she is probably terrible at the flute

  • Tu souffles trop fort dans ta flûte et ton son vibre trop :/

    A part ça, tu joues vraiment très bien :)

  • @airedalegirl99 Hi, Thanks for watching my video. I don't think there's anything I can say to make you happy. But there's lots of great music out there. Have fun playing your flute. --Emma

  • @airedalegirl99 this is so ridiculous it's funny. fantastic performance of a very tricky piece emma.

  • @airedalegirl99 If you don´t have anything nice to say, better not to say at all... (sorry for my english, but Im from Brazil and I´m don´t write in english very often)... This little girl is amazing!!! I teach classical guitar in the university and sometimes I play with flute students... most of them don´t play that good (and they are in college...) So, GeoRockMin, you ROCK!!! Keep playing!!!!

    P.S. You should giva a concert in Brazil!!! :)

  • @airedalegirl99 you are so cold hearted how could you say that to such a sweet girl like Emma she has an AMAZING talent and could beat you in a competition anyday, and age has nothing do with how you can play. Also is she does have a crappy flute she sure can play better than you i bet! Your the little brat to! SHE HAS AN AMAZING TALENT!

  • @airedalegirl99 if your so good post a video of yourself playing a sond this advanced

  • @airedalegirl99 holy crap wtf is your problem she is extremely good, it doesn't matter what flute she had with her ability she could rock anything. you need to calm the heck down and stop hating on people who are better then you. why don't you stop being a bitch and take more lessons so that some day you can be like her! until then don't be a hater. any true member of the art community doesn't say crap like this, so be a true player of the game & fix yourself before you talk about other players

  • @airedalegirl99

    Do you think that you are a superior human being for belittling this talented little girl? Grow up and learn to be an adult. Stop acting like a jealous five year old child. Take this advice from someone who is a year younger than you, if age is so important to you.

  • @airedalegirl99 dude wtf? why would you say something like that? she's so good..i bet you couldn't play like that when you were 9. Emma, great job!

  • Very great! greetings from mexico!

    That is some great flute playing, You have to teach me. I play the clarinet.

  • @potionsmistressful Hi, Thank you!!!  --Emma

  • @GeoRockMin

    no need to thank you, it sounds so professional!!

    was this a recital? a performance? special event? School related?

  • @potionsmistressful I played this at a flute festival. It was alot of fun!!!

  • woah this is just mind blowing!!

  • Good job! You are wonderful! A great artist. Are pure music.

    I invite you to listen to my works for symphony orchestra.

    Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

    Cristian Axt (composer).

  • @axt121978 Hello Mr. Axt, Thanks!!! I'll check out your channel!!! 

    --Emma in the US

  • That is WONDERFUL! Everythings so perfect in this music!! Your so talented!!

    I just wanted to ask, how do you keep your breath long? lol sorry I dont make sense xD When I play this music I need to continuously breathe but if I look at you, you do most of the things in one go. Amazing!

    Thanks alot xoxo have a nice day! --- Haelin

  • @dottiedal281 Hi Haelin, What I do is pick where I'm going to breathe and make myself play till that spot. I used to do an exercise where I played a note and timed how long I could hold it. Every day I'd try to hold it longer. Then I would know how long I could play in a piece without taking a breath. Hope that helps!!!

    --Emma

  • @GeoRockMin Ohhhh, I see!! That helped so much thanks!

    Have a nice daay~~~

  • Awesome job, Emma! You are an inspiration! Any advice on memorizing such long pieces like this one? Bravo!!

  • @rsdonomoore Hi, Thanks!!! This might sound silly, but when I'm learning a new piece I spend alot of time humming and whistling it when I'm doing other stuff like Nintendo. I really think it helps me. Maybe you can try it. Let me know how it goes!!!

    --Emma

  • @GeoRockMin Thanks for the tip! I'll have to give that a try. How much do you practice? Are you working on any new songs right now? I'm working on Chaminade's Concertino :)

  • @rsdonomoore Hi, The Chaminade is awesome, you'll have alot of fun with that!!! I'm finishing up the Gaubert Fantasie, the Mouquet Pan Sonata and the Mozart Concerto in G. Getting started on Mozart in D and the Dutilleaux Sonata. There's so much great flute music to learn!!! --Emma

  • I hated this piece when I had to work on it. You played it effortlessly Emma! Great job!!!

  • My goodness, Emma! You played this piece beeeeaaaauuutifully!!!!! I am working on this piece now and hope that it will soon sound as nice as yours! I think that you should audition for America's Got Talent. All of America needs to see and hear what happens when one puts her mind to it!

    Keep up the great work! I'd love to hear some more pieces! :)

  • kid, you are absolutely amazing. i'm attempting to play this song and i'm almost 18!! you're going to be a top flautist one day and i'll be able to say that i knew about you before you were famous. :) genuinely brilliant, emma!!

  • @loveflute16 Hi, Thanks!!! I'm happy you play the flute too!!! Have fun playing Andante and Scherzo!!!

    --Emma

  • ...how infinite in faculty...

  • What a beauty :)

  • Comment removed

  • Dear Ann Joplin. You know what that Flute? No offense, but the concerts for 30 years, but such a phenomenon as is Emma, I've never met! He beat many who already have a long career.

    Emma, go ahead, as usual! As I did, you're great!!

    Just a nice girl, talented, hard working and smart meet one to one hundred years!

    Honey, you're a little genius!

    Bravo, here in Europe !!!!!

  • @preclassics Hi, Thanks for being my friend!!! I always just try to play the best I can. You're really nice!!! --Emma

  • @GeoRockMin

    I am absolutely sure dear Emma. I am your number one fan!

    Please pass on to your lady teacher, my greetings and congratulations!

    Love, Corina.

  • the scherzo part was almost perfect, but sorry, I didn't like the whole piece in your interpretation, some rhytms are incorrect. but. you're amazing, your voice and you play extremely difficult pieces if we consider your ages. you're absolutely talented, keep on. and especially this is one of my favourite flute solos I've ever play. a flutist from hungary

  • @AnnaJoplin Hi Anna, Thanks for watching!!! That's what's great about music - there's so much room for interpretation. My favorite part is figuring out what I think the music says. Let me know if you post this piece on YouTube. I'd love to hear your ideas on the piece!!! Have fun playing your flute!!!

    --Emma

  • You are amazing to hear! Fantastic work, you are so talented. Every piece that I want to listen to, you are played it. lol

  • Emma, your "Andante et Scherzo by Louis Ganne" is the best I' have heard ! Keep your faith in music and continue to ravish us, specially with so sweet french music for flute !

  • you are amazing :)

  • Exquisite! I loved it. Thank you, again, for such a beautiful performance. I can tell your improving by the minute. It's fabulous to listen to see you grow and develop as a young lady and excellent performer.

  • this little girl iz very talented........ keep up the great work!!!!! pianist iz very good herself....... keep up the great work!!!!!!

    --Emma

  • You are very very able!!! I was playing recently from the album Duvernoy Concertino, I advice it, because I think it's fantastic :):)

    You're really talented, amaz ing.

  • Hi Emma! I am trying out for an orchrestra and they accept a limited number of people and I really want to impress the judges. What piece do you think would impress the judges and put me above the others? I ask you this because I know you are a phenomenal player and your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • @durhhitscindy Hi, Thanks for watching!!! I think you should pick something you can play really well technically but also with lots of life and feeling. The most important thing is to play your very very best. Great tone, intonation, rhythm and really hit a home run with interpretation. Let me know how it goes!!!

    --Emma

  • Emma- Very nice as always!! I played this my freshman year at the Crane School of Music. I can't wait to hear more from you in the future.  Is french music your favorite? I love that whole book - the Ganne, Enesco, Chaminade.....

  • @conductorck Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Yah I love the whole book too!!! But I really just love whatever I happen to be playing!!! Everything sounds great on the flute!!!
