Um, WOW?!!! I think I started playing the flute when I was 8...I'm playing this solo for Solo/Ensemble on March 3rd (I'm a sophomore in high school). Haha, I just got the music about 2 weeks ago and I have 2 or 3 weeks left to polish it...I hope I end up sounding as perfect as you do!!! My gosh, am I jealous! You are the most incredible child prodigy I've ever seen!!!!! Happy flauting! :)
I played this piece last year as a junior in high school for a solo contest. My style varied from yours, which is great about music, but my judge loved my performance and told me I had great vibrato and should play for bigger symphonies. We have some differences in the way we played, but you do a beautiful job. I'm proud to be a fellow flute player of yours!
@italiantuna28 Hi, It's awesome you're playing the Enesco - it's a really great piece!!! You should be able to play it by February. Try working on the runs way way more than the other parts. And every day after you practice have a performance of however much of it you know. I play for my stuffed animals if no one is around. Good luck, play great, and have fun!!! --Emma
I love ya Emma.....your amzing! Its incredible how such a big sound can come out of this little girl playing her flute! Im learning this peice currently for my district solo in Febuary I believe. Im really excited! Its a beautiful peice! Im really nervous that I may not learn it in time though! :/
@bgruskin Hi, Thanks for watching!!! I started when I was 3. I think when I made this video I practiced about 1-1/2 or 2 hours a day. But I'm 11 now and practice about 3 hours a day. Have fun playing your flute!!! --Emma
@xdesieee Hi, I know what you mean. I get scared too. What helps me is I try to remember that people want to have fun listening. So I make sure to show how much I love the piece and love to play the flute. If you have fun the audience has fun too!!! I hope you play great!!! Let me know how it goes!!!
Shoot me, I played for like 7 years and I just got to like grade 10 and this girl is already kicking my ass, please, I feel so inadequate as a human being.
Wowwww. I'm beginning to feel like a stalker, commenting on all your videos, but I am playing this for a competition quite soon, except I'm 15... Making me feel dumb. Or just unskilled. You are amazing!
Emma, you are amazing. God bless your soul! You, my dear, will have a very successful career; this I see. You're so mature and humble. This will take toy far. Big hug! Never change!
This is great!! I've been studying the flute at the conservetoire, but I never saw a girl your age playing so beautifull!! Good luck with your future. Btw where do you come from? I am from the Netherlands
@ekc98 Hi, It's great you're playing for 2 years!!! For breathing try to plan where you breath. Make sure it's a spot that makes sense. Then make yourself play to that spot. Don't take a breath just because. Maybe try that and let me know how it goes!!!
Hi Emma!!! I been playing a flute for 3 years almost and I got questions to ask you...Do you ever concentrate more on your scales then playing solo's?? Or the other way around because I like playing music more then anything else. Also how do you remember a 6-8 minutes solo??? And I know for fingers are sore playing so fast. Was your Flute very expensive????
@MrzzN3IKA Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Yah I play scales every day. Lots. Also etudes, and tone studies. About an hour of that stuff every day. For memory I spend alot of time singing and humming my pieces when I'm not playing the flute. Yes my flute is expensive. A real beauty but only silver. But a person can sound great on any flute. The flutist is more important than the flute. Have fun playing!!! --Emma
Hi, Emma, wow you are truly amazing. I just love your tone and how you are so in to the music! :) I have a few questions that I hope you can answer, How do you tougue so fast and make each of your notes so clear, and also how do you play the high notes so beautifully? thank youuu, and I hope you'll get better and better
@5teeheehee Hi, Thanks for watching!!! I try to only tongue enough to ping the note but concentrate mostly on the air. Your tongue shouldn't stop the air. On high and low notes I do the opposite of what most people do. I use a ton of strong air for low notes and a tiny laser point of air for high ones. People argue with me about it, but it works for me. Let me know how it goes!!! Have fun playing your flute!!!
@GeoRockMin Hey, Emma, thank you for all your tips, they are really helpful and I will definitely try them! I know I've already said how amazing of a flute player you are, but I just got to say it again! I mean, no every one is blessed with such a amazing gift of talent, you should be truly proud of your self! thanks again, I hope we can be friends! :)
You, my dear, have made me so happy! I love your tone, and I wish you the best in your future playing. I am a flautist as well, and have been playing for 7 years now. What I marvel most at is how composed you are; what do you do to steady your nerves? I tend to get nervous, especially during solos. I positively love you! Good luck in all you do!
@kaysama09 Hi, Thanks for watching!!! It's great you play the flute!!! I always get nervous too. Sometimes I can't believe people don't see my knees shaking. But when it's time to play I really just want people to hear how beautiful the music is and how beautiful the flute sounds, and I kind of forget about me. Does that make any sense?? Thanks again!!!
you pretty much rock my socks. you could get into interlochen in the high school division i'm pretty sure, you musical maniac! i just played this song for a concert and absolutely fell in lovee with it. lovely job, and you made my day. never stop playing :)
You are a great child ! And you are a great flute player for your age and for more bigger ages to ! I love to listen to you ! You have a very beautiful sound and a very good technique ! Congratulations!
@marlenelavache Thanks!!! If you think it means the brand, I play a Powell Conservaory flute. Your English is great!!! I can't say anything in another language.
i can't believe this..a little girl playing like that. look out major symphony orchestras. she will be a force to be reckoned with. SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@GeoRockMin lol ill have to dissagre with that i think sinse i play piano piano is the best instrument i love your work you r amazing do you think you remember where you got the music for this?
You are a stunning young lady to be playing this well. Credit to you for practising!!! I had yet to play this piece prior to listening to your rendition and I thought you did a lot of really beautiful phrasings which were loaded with varying characters. the memorisation added to the wow factor. Congratulations from Australia Miss Emma on this performance.
Hi Haelin, For me alot if it was making the breaths make sense or it gets too choppy. And being really rhythmically accurate. It's a great piece!!! Have fun!!!
Hi Haelin!!! Thanks!!! I have a lesson once a week with the best teacher in the world!!!
This is another great French Connservatory piece. It would probably take a couple of weeks to learn the notes, but a month at least to decide what the music says. Give it a try. It's so much fun!!!
Hi, you are amazing and you know it... Now you just have to be or stay humble... Everybody know that you are a little star and you see and know that, but work, work, always work and you'll be perfect... And once again, The MOST important thing, when you have this level, is humility... Bravo
You do really good music. I mean you play so wonderful. Ive been playing the flute 3yrs and i am almost as good as you. my favorite piece to play is chaminade concertino op.107. And when are you going to post a new video? i really hope you post one soon. Oh and Happy 2010!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, Thanks for watching!!! It's great you love to play the flute too!!! I'll have some new vids soon - it's been crazy lately - but in a good way!!! Happy New Year!!!
Hey... you play it.. in so touching way.. i became very moved!... incredible you have 9.y.o and you can spreed so many emotions.. i like the how you play this "Pièce"... in so intesive way! Amazing! I Feel you Live It, when you play it! good! Continue This Way!
Thanks!!! When I play something my flute wants to sing and make colors. The flute is the most magical instrument in the world!!! I'm happy you like the flute too!!!
Hi, No my teacher has her own house and lives in another town. She is the best best bestest!!! And I'm always happy to see her on lesson day!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, Thanks for watching!!! I appreciate your comment, but it was just one note in the last chord. Yes it was ugly, but I think John is an awesome pianist!!! And really nice too!!! Thanks again for watching!!!
Beautiful playing Emma! Your tone has really matured over the last year! Thank you for sharing videos of your playing for us. Keep up the great work! Have you applied for any prep departments at any conservatories? If so, who are you studying with?
Emma! You are so great at flute! I just got a sonare flute last year in NYC and I love it! You sound so amazing on your powell! Who are your teachers?? Just curious! I can tell that you are so disciplined in practicing and it really pays off! I love watching your videos! Keep up the awesome work!
we're awsome!! i play flute for 6 years and i'm playing this to, but you're sound!!! WOW!! you inspired me so much ! when i start playing a new piece i came here looking for you and see if you play it to :b
incredible, really!
good luck ! you deserve everything :D
[sorry any mistake, i'm portuguese and i don't speak english for a while ;)]
Hi Emma. Wow just discovered your clips on youtube cuz I googled for the Bozza Image (which you were great on too!) I played the Enesco again this year, currently trying to learn the Jolivet. So... I know you hear this a lot: "you're incredible", "so talented", "great tone" yadda yadda yadda ;-) But you know what you're absolutely AMAZING at? Those slurs in the Presto, where he slurs sixteenth notes 2+3 and 4+1 together. Just AMAZING!! -Mike, Washington DC
Hi Mike, Thanks!!!! The Enesco is one of my very favorite pieces. Have fun with the Jolivet - another amazing piece!!! Thanks again for watching my video!!!
are you so talented or do you practice the whole day? when did you start playing the flute? .. I play the flute too and you are really amazing!! ;) greetings from austria
lol!! the last note for the pianist is so out of it XD She looked destabilized too for how it sounded :P At least the soloist makes it look more credible ^^
Hi, Thanks for listening!!! Yes, John got a wrong note in that last chord. But he is really great to work with. Stuff happens. We had a good laugh!!!!! Thanks again for listening!!! --Emma :) :)
I just listened to your performance of the Faure Fantasie and also this piece, and although I had been very impressed with your playing last year, it is now so much more clear, artistic and confident. Well done too, to all your family and teachers who help you to flourish like this! I look forward in future years to hearing your CDs, and live performances as you tour the world.
I hear you are looking forward to playing the Hindemith Sonata. Good luck with that! I think it is very beautiful and intense music. Do you mind me asking you what type of flute you play?
P.S. i have played piccolo for 9 years along with flute, when you do start piccolo just try to be as seperate as you can can with flute so you don't end up with a smilley embouchure! (tip becuase i did and i had to relearn my flute embouchure lol)
Everyone needs to play the piccolo. If you want to make a living as a professional, you need to have that job skill. It's like being a professional skier (sp?) with only one ski. I personally love the picc, but it just doesn't make any sense not to learn it. You just have to treat them like separate instruments.
Haha, me too. That was an agonizing semester. You have a real talent, Emma, keep it up! I just finished the Burton for the last recital I did, so I'm a little jealous. :) It sounds great!
Wow, you are incredible and have so much potential to be something great. I am very impressed to see someone 9 years younger than I and play at a similar level as me. Keep up the good work!
Hey Emma! If you can, PLEASE come to Minnesota and perform something..just ANYTHING, I would love to see you play. Its crazy to see an 8 yr old play so well!
By the way Emma, have you played any of Paul Taffanel's pieces? I'm just asking because I'm playing the Andante Pastoral et Scherzzetino (composed: Taffanel) for a competition and if you've played that piece, it would be amazing if you could give me some advice possibly. That would literally mean the would to me!
Hi Graham, I don't think I'll be in Minnesota soon. And I haven't played any Taffanel pieces yet, just the exercises. I am performing at the National Flute Conventiom in New York City. Are you going?? Thanks for listening to my video!!
ummmm probably not in New York. I'm too caught up in school at the moment and I have that competition that I was talking about in a couple months and i really have to practice, BUT if I had the money and time, I would definitely go!
Hi, Emma is playing Faure Fantasie on Saturday evening, and a duet on a Thursday that isn't finalized yet. Please come up and say "HI". We are looking forward to meeting Emma's YouTube friends!! We really appreciate the encouragement!!
This is awesome. Sound, technique, articulation, expression, memory. All fantastic.
It might seem strange, but one of the most interesting parts of this was at 05:12. You came in just slightly early, but of course you knew it...You listened, slowed down, and fixed the problem within a measure. You didn't get confused, you didn't lose your composure, and you didn't wait for the pianist to fix things. It shows a true sense of musical maturity as a performer and ensemble player. Wonderful job
Once again, the double tounging is amazing! I love the new outfit... it's got "spunk" just like Emma! Just curious about the pianist... it's always the same person... how did you meet? GO STEELERS!!!
Thanks!! Tonguing is easier now that the front teeth have grown back. Emma works with several accompanists, but has known John since she was very little. He was frequently the accompanist at her older sister's violin recitals. STEELERS ROCK!!
Um, WOW?!!! I think I started playing the flute when I was 8...I'm playing this solo for Solo/Ensemble on March 3rd (I'm a sophomore in high school). Haha, I just got the music about 2 weeks ago and I have 2 or 3 weeks left to polish it...I hope I end up sounding as perfect as you do!!! My gosh, am I jealous! You are the most incredible child prodigy I've ever seen!!!!! Happy flauting! :)

Hi Emma. Wow just discovered your clips on youtube cuz I googled for the Bozza Image (which you were great on too!) I played the Enesco again this year, currently trying to learn the Jolivet. So... I know you hear this a lot: "you're incredible", "so talented", "great tone" yadda yadda yadda ;-) But you know what you're absolutely AMAZING at? Those slurs in the Presto, where he slurs sixteenth notes 2+3 and 4+1 together. Just AMAZING!! -Mike, Washington DC

Congratulations Emma!
I just listened to your performance of the Faure Fantasie and also this piece, and although I had been very impressed with your playing last year, it is now so much more clear, artistic and confident. Well done too, to all your family and teachers who help you to flourish like this! I look forward in future years to hearing your CDs, and live performances as you tour the world.

the burton is one of my favorites good luck!
P.S. i have played piccolo for 9 years along with flute, when you do start piccolo just try to be as seperate as you can can with flute so you don't end up with a smilley embouchure! (tip becuase i did and i had to relearn my flute embouchure lol)
piccoloplayr1989 2 years ago
I hope she decides never to play piccolo, Every person I know that has tried to play piccolo ended up making their flute tone suck Alot!
ttay1122 2 years ago
Everyone needs to play the piccolo. If you want to make a living as a professional, you need to have that job skill. It's like being a professional skier (sp?) with only one ski. I personally love the picc, but it just doesn't make any sense not to learn it. You just have to treat them like separate instruments.
piccologirl 2 years ago
Haha, me too. That was an agonizing semester. You have a real talent, Emma, keep it up! I just finished the Burton for the last recital I did, so I'm a little jealous. :) It sounds great!

Hey Emma! If you can, PLEASE come to Minnesota and perform something..just ANYTHING, I would love to see you play. Its crazy to see an 8 yr old play so well!
By the way Emma, have you played any of Paul Taffanel's pieces? I'm just asking because I'm playing the Andante Pastoral et Scherzzetino (composed: Taffanel) for a competition and if you've played that piece, it would be amazing if you could give me some advice possibly. That would literally mean the would to me!
Thanks a lot!

Hi Graham, I don't think I'll be in Minnesota soon. And I haven't played any Taffanel pieces yet, just the exercises. I am performing at the National Flute Conventiom in New York City. Are you going?? Thanks for listening to my video!!
GeoRockMin 2 years ago
ummmm probably not in New York. I'm too caught up in school at the moment and I have that competition that I was talking about in a couple months and i really have to practice, BUT if I had the money and time, I would definitely go!
Sorry :(

This is awesome. Sound, technique, articulation, expression, memory. All fantastic.
It might seem strange, but one of the most interesting parts of this was at 05:12. You came in just slightly early, but of course you knew it...You listened, slowed down, and fixed the problem within a measure. You didn't get confused, you didn't lose your composure, and you didn't wait for the pianist to fix things. It shows a true sense of musical maturity as a performer and ensemble player. Wonderful job
