Mozart Flute Concerto in D Rondo

[54beulahmae]

I wasn't expecting much--but I too think (I know--but let me have a little something) that he is better at 10 than I was in my prime. Very nice. :)

[alegrofermata]

I've been playing the flute for ten years.....he just might have a better sounding tone than me...nice! haha! 

[nelly50113]

awesome

[VolleyballStar5799]

I'm 12 and my flute teacher taught me how to play this it's really fun and I love playing the flute!!

[1980Caterina]

bravo

[Zerlina12]

You are a really good fluteplayer. I played also flute as kid, but I didnt get so far as you have. Keep on playing. You are a star!

[sisertiser]

WOW! He is very talented! I'm learning flute so....

[frozenme0214]

nice :DD i wish i was him :DD i'm playing flute also :DD

[TheJbach]

This is really good. In fact, it is MUCH BETTER than some of the recordings I have by the famous professionals!! Beautiful and utterly delightful playing and sound!!

[pebblefrog196]

Kid better get a mullet. It'll make him quite the badass.

[HorsesAreGolden]

That kid is rocking the flute :)

I've been on sax for 9 years, just started learning the flute last week...one day, maybe I'll be as good as him...or at least 1/2 as good.

[demilove791]

Wow he's amazing

[chessqueeniscute]

Wow. And he's not Asian. Definitely a prodigy.

[mutlesp]

I wish he will be a famous flutist. We need more Rampals, Nicolets, Gallois etc

[tothryan405]

@mutlesp i do believe its flautist

[Miharu67]

wow he sounds amazing!!! keep up the hard work!

[kundicka1910]

oh shit, he has a lot of talent, i hate him!:D

[weefunProductions]

Awww, old times. I played this song, but ofcourse not as half as good as him !

Bravo!

[mar7809]

VERY GOOD!

[w5pda]

Chicken soup for the musical soul...Thank you for posting.

[sahand144]

WOW. I'm 14 and I'm learning the Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A major and I thought was super beast...... I guess I'm not :P

[shinichan42]

He's doing jazz now; he just played at a jazz club near me and I got to watch him. He's just as good at jazz as classical. I was impressed.

[TheKlaplelek]

To są lata nauki, ale jak kilka momentów się ćwiczy kilka razy to nawet można ładniej grać

[flutesoccerhappiness]

Woa he's sooooooo gooood!!!! I've been playing for a year and I thought I was good!! Four hours a day?? My average is bout 1.5, my most ever playin in one day was 5 hours that includes a concert.

[schon121]

Great flutist!

[CurlyMacFlurry]

I WISH I WAS HIM! How much does he practice? 

[beckykellogg]

@CurlyMacFlurry - About 4 hours a day.

[hannah451219]

he's better than me

i'm older than him

[phimurth]

His start tempo is a little too fast for him to keep up with at 1:30. Quite good for his age though.

[kujjk]

i myself play flute and love it when i see such young people taking a intreast into the flute at such a young age. i must admite that is one of the cleanest sounds out of a flute i have ever heard in my teaching. no of my students can play that well. hope he does well in his musical life. (prodigy)

[kagomesanime]

two years younger than me.......T^T

[samloom]

@kagomesanime lol @ feelin old at 12

[Akiraa1992]

WOW!!!



[crayzeetrumpetgirl]

My band director wants me to play this piece, but I don't know... it sounds so hard!!!

X3

[clarahong1]

I just started learning the flute and i'm like 13!!! I can't get that nice tone like this AMAZING BOY has!!!!

[helenflute9]

[rafitords]

[anasofia2331]

[skrimps99]

[CraigLevine48]

[classicvinylbiz]

Nice job, you play beautifully! Here's an older recording for you to listen to if you get a chance - Hubert Barwahser, from 1955:

watch?v=-fN3d9bZt3o

thanks and regards, and keep up with your studies, you have incredible talent! david

[jeetendrag10acc2]

how come no one sponsors the prodigies to make good recodings? his work is awesome...society should find a way to disseminate such artistry properly!!!

[ShyADeny11]

so he started when he was 5 years old? :O

[tenorpiccolo]

ok ummm wow! O.o

[Pauluss00]

ooooo!!!!! brawo!!!

[NBOC777]

Becky and he has got lessons for five years? Well maybe also when he qwas sitting still in the womb of the mother..... really awesome. he needs to go further in teh expression now. You see that I am npot looking at the fact that he is just 12 years old and so on and plays on that age fabulous flute, but now I think way higher by him as an adult!! Because he is already on that level.

[Agatka2996]

Jest świetny

[calicolombia12345]

[neymenl]

[ADHDfox]

10 years old Very impressive.

[cooljane2]

wow he's so young! I'm 14 and i can't even play that professionally...i get really nervous when i'm playing in front of people....but he seems to do it with ease.

[CelineM114]

omggg,,,, so good waaaayyy better than me

[dansing303]

he's good, but he definately needs to get past the student flute, get to an intermediate or advanced flute. they r better and have been tone quality.

[beckykellogg]

He plays a professional Powell flute with a 14k gold Manke headjoint.

[twong86]

I love Powell flutes. He is blessed with the gift of Music, can't wait to hear him on a national stage!

[crayzeetrumpetgirl]

@beckykellogg holy freaking cow!!! I wish I had the money to get one that fancy!!!

I'm 17 and just got my level 2 flute because my band teacher thinks that I am 'gifted'.

He obviously hasn't heard this kid X3

[xxElisabetta]

@beckykellogg pwned right? hahah

[rotkrox1521]

wow! i sucked when i was 10! he's so good for his age!! i'm only learning this mvt right now because my teachers skipped me on a lot of good music... like poulenc, bourne (carmen fantasy)... *sigh*. i love this mvt though!

[marinocaz]

10 years? If the saw never believe. It is very good and Clearly that will have a future as a flutist. It is spectacular. Congratulations

[nickysaxpiccolo]

OH MY GOD!

this kid is AMAZING!

[miamigurl123]

*sigh* I wished I sounded like this when I was ten.

[bburney06]

Wow! I learned this piece for an audition when I was in high school, but to hear it played from memory and that well by a ten year old kid!

[sirhcdeer]

Wow, I saw him play at mass this morning, and I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Clearly very talented, however when did he start playing and when did you know that he had "it"?

He's going to go far! Excellent playing...

[alcgda]

that was amazing! for a secind there I thought he sucked, but he was gooood!

[fruitball4u]

I was just curious...did he learn this Suzuki style or did he learn it from the music and then memorize it? :)

[beckykellogg]

He learned it from the music and memorized it. He has prefect pitch, so memorization comes very easily to him.

[ikertznus]

Amazing!!!!! Your Musical Talents Are Beautiful use them wisely!!By now your probably eleven maybe and thats amazing ive played piano for 9 years and i play guitar Tenor Saxophone violin recorder and Flute and it will take me along time to play Mozart Concerto in D Rondo im able to play Sonata in Cmajor on Flute Piano Tenor Saxophone Keep at it in Music!!

[MoonDeathDemoness]

Of course.

[MoonDeathDemoness]

[fruitball4u]

Bravissimo!!!

[tinykarin]

[amirishl337]

Whoah great work! Is that a golden head joint?

[beckykellogg]

Yes, the headjoint is gold with a grenadilla lip plate. It was made by Manke and we are very pleased with it.

[amirishl337]

That's aweomse, I love to see people that love music at such a young age! Even if it puts me to shame haha. :]

[Animebe95]

i play flute too, and i thought i was good. but he makes me look awful!!

[MonParii]

Very well-played! The piano was a little overpowering at some parts, but it's probably just how the music is written.

[powellpicc1985]

Yeah. The transcribed orchestra lines just aren't idiomatic for piano.

[Chiollodario]

Wow.....10 years old! Very good sound!

[helenmelon315]

Wow! Amazing! Your son is an extremely talented flautist! Yet he is only ten! I envy him. Who does he take lessons with?

[santacluas666]

[shelleycollins]

Hi, Zach! I miss teaching you! You sound great.

Dr. Collins

[onln4jesus]

HI ZACH...were'nt you at the NW Flute and Pic Forum at UW this last summer 2007?  Fantastic.... so who do study with?

[bunnyqueen001]

:-O! I sometimes can make good sounds but not all the time! Man that kid is good. Im shocked.

[DOAer]

I somewhat envy his tone. And say congrats to him at getting Principal Flute this term. :) I'm still at third chair. :P

[mistmv12]

wow you made me shock

you absolute a talened boy

[ashley41430]

why doesn't this kid have a b foot?

[beckykellogg]

He is fortunate enough to be playing a 1973 Powell flute, formerly owned and played by Dr. Ralph Guenther.

[ashley41430]

oh, good! I was going to say, this isn't your typical ten year old-how is he playing like that on a student model? LOL!

[AmoiNoir]

WOW so talented at such a young age! Congratulations

I hope to play like that soon.

[judymin21]

I CANT BELIEVE THIS. a ten yr old kid???????? Come on, I'd kill just for this flute tone!!UNBELIEVABLE. :D
