[GeoRockMin]

@sahegoo1 Hi, Thanks for watching!!! This video was a couple years ago. I'm 11 now. I think allstate is for high school kids and I'm still in elementary school. It's awesome you play the flute!!! Have fun!!!

--Emma

[JohnBellFlutist]

Thank you for posting this, I had never heard this song before this and it is absolutely beautiful. And you perform it very very well. This will definitely be going into my library of music.

[GeoRockMin]

@JohnBellFlutist Hi John, Thanks!!! It's a suite of 3 pieces and they're all really beautiful. I like the Idylle. Have fun playing your flute!!! --Emma

[trikellymck]

Incredible! You play way beyond your age!

[ivanUshline]

I can't believe my ears... Keep it up!

[hannahbbyxox15]

I've been playing flute for like 8 years now, and if i had half the talent you have, i'd be satisfied, i'm not saying i'm bad, but girl, keep it up. I'm jealous.

[reevesvo]

WOW!!! You are so amazing!!! I just started playing flute 2 months ago, and I LOVE it!!!

--Anna

[reevesvo]

How long does it usually take u 2 learn songs like this??? I have been playing flute for 2 months, and I LOVE it!!!

--Anna

[GeoRockMin]

@reevesvo Hi, It's awesome you're learning the flute!!! There are so many great pieces to play!!! I can usually learn the notes to a song in a week or two, but it takes a few more weeks to really get comfy and figure out what it's saying. Have fun playing!!!

--Emma

[lostgurl4ever]

@GeoRockMin also, if you've only been playing two months, i could imagine it'd be way to hard to learn a snong like this. i've been playing 8 years and i just tackled this piece a couple months ago.

[Codyleclereflute1]

@GeoRockMin Hi Emma I was wondering what grade this is.Your such an insperation.hahaha you should try out for americas got talent :D

[GeoRockMin]

@rachel237linda Thanks!!! I really appreciate it!!! You will totally have fun playing the Valse cause it's awesome!!! --Emma

[dhtschr]

hello emma,

im practicing the Valse at the moment (after i finished Idylle and Allegretto of course) and i just love 1:12 - 1:59 . you play it with such a good dark tone ><

[paopaomanalansan]

Amazing!

[RossiniSoprano]

Fabulous! This, folks, is music personified. This young lady was born with music in every molecule of her body. Brava!

[GeoRockMin]

@RossiniSoprano Hi, That's really nice!!! Thanks for watching!!! --Emma

[GeoRockMin]

@GhostShip09 Thanks!!! Ms. Perlove is awesome!!! --Emma

[bulldogfan87]

Do you memorize all of the songs you play?

[GeoRockMin]

@bulldogfan87 Hi, Yah, I try to perform without music. I find it easier to not have the music staring at me, but I know alot of people like to have it. Thanks for watching!!! --Emma :) :)

[antonisflute]

People!!! Don't post dislikes on a video like that!!!!

[GeoRockMin]

@antonisflute Hi Tony, You're so nice!!! Thanks for being my flute friend!!!

--Emma :) :)

[27sarahkirby]

dang girl! you are really good! i play the flute and im not even that good! and im only like 13! you will go very far with your talent!

[dottiedal281]

I really want to learn this song but the double tounguing for some parts are really hard.

Your my dream! --HAelin:):)

[FluteViolin88]

HI Emma,

Thats just amazing!!! you are so talented!!! Is your flute heavy for you? lol. YOU GO GIRL!!!

amazing!

[GeoRockMin]

Thanks!!! You're funny!!! LOL!!!

--Emma

[FluteViolin88]

My sister and I share this Youtube account. I am 9 and play the violin and she plays the flute. We are both big fans!!

This is my favorite piece yet!!

[GeoRockMin]

Hey, my sister plays the violin!!!

[sguitar]

Hi Emma,

this is a really great performance!! I am very impressed!!! Of course 5 stars for you!! Sarah :-)

[pennsylvaniaflutist]

Emma, I am studying this piece now. I was wondering, do you double tongue this? It sounds so smooth, if you are double tounging I can't tell!

[GeoRockMin]

Hi!!! We're snowed in!!! And I got a puppy!!!

Yah, there's alot of double tongue in there. I've been working on DT really really hard every day for about 6 months and it's almost where I want it. It's taking longer than I thought!!!

My mom says Hi!!!

--Emma

[dottiedal281]

Hi, Emma!

I never knew there was DP in this piece I dont think so! I looked at the whole piece but it doesnt seem like that I can find it!

[GeoRockMin]

Hi, It's really more about tempo. Once you get above above a certain tempo, you really have to DT. ST slows me down. But you should tongue the way that's comfortable for you!!!

--Emma

[dottiedal281]

Hi, Emma!

Oh, I see.. Can you tell me where you DT?? That answer will really appreciated!!

Thanks, From Haelin

[GeoRockMin]

Hi, The opening m4-20 and recap, m170-189 and some of the cadenza. Hope that helps!!!

--Emma

[dottiedal281]

Nicely played..

Any tips"???

[GeoRockMin]

Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Practice the runs alot so they're really smooth. And make sure it all dances. If you feel like dancing to your music everyone else will too!!!

Let me know how it goes!!!

--Emma

[STABCMING]

Hi Emma :) I have your mom on my facebook. I love watching you're videos. You play so well and it's so wonderful to watch you play :) You play with such passion, and shows that you really love flute :P

Please keep posting!

Joshua

[GeoRockMin]

Hi Joshua, Thanks!!! I think it's nice that people watch!!!

--Emma

[hale2jasper]

Hi, Emma! you're really amazing, and I can tell not just through this piece but many of your other performances that you truly love what you do-your tone is amazing, what kind of flute do you play??

[GeoRockMin]

Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Yah, I love the flute!!! I have a Powell Conservatory flute that I think is awesome!!! Thanks again!!!

--Emma

[epocaliptos]

Just woooooow!!!

[thomaslaw135829]

I think in the future when you have students and they are learning this piece. I can hear you say "I learned this when I was 13 or something like that" Love your interpretation of it. :)

[falpfa]

Dear Emma, thank you for this very nice video.

I'm sure you love joking : your playing is so fluid, that you give the impression that it's easy to play, but ... I guess it's pretty difficult !!!

Forgive my bad english, and be sure I enjoy listening to you !

Florence from France

[GeoRockMin]

Hi Florence!!! Thanks for watching!!! I love the flute!!! The most magical instrument in the world!!!

--Emma

[Yudhi1950]

Thank you Emma and Lisa, Brave !

[kayliberlinnn]

emma, you are absolutely amazing. wow practice really does pay off! do you have a private teacher?

[GeoRockMin]

Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Yah, I have a really great teacher!!! I think it takes both, a great teacher and alot of work. But it's so much fun!!!

--Emma

[DoninWhiting]

Thank you for sending, Emma! You know who I compare you do in music goals and current ability? As a matter of fact I would love to see you in piano/duet some day, to a sell-out . YOU and Umi Garret. You gotta watch Umi doing a Beethoven Trio. Both of you are of God's creation and His gifts to you.

[GeoRockMin]

Hi, Thank you!!! I hope your wish comes true. It's so much fun to work with other musicians!!!

--Emma

[Lalitamusic]

Another terrific effort pretty girl. You are headed for the stars and with continued dedication one day in the not too distant future you will be able to hold them in your hand. Lots of them in the mean time from me.

Love

Lalita

[manduhchow]

Emma you are an inspirational student. I show your clips to students of mine in my flute classes to inspire them to practice and it works every time!

[717539]

FIVE STARS * * * * * records the Allegretto of Benjamin Godard? thaks and kiss.

[lilaznxxbabe]

Nice jobb !

How long did it take you to learn this piece ?

[GeoRockMin]

Hi, It took a couple of weeks to learn the notes but a few more weeks before it started sounding where I liked it. It's a lot of fun to play!!!

--Emma

[weefunProductions]

Wow, Emma that was amazing and beautiful! I really wish you could come to my school or dedacate a song for me. Your my flute idol. im verry impressed.

[Rodier1128]

you did exceptional, but (I think this is more the camera than anything) Your high notes had this quality to them that was terrible. I don't mean that offensively, but it took away from the performance.

So IDK what kind of camera you have, maybe invest in a new one?

[GeoRockMin]

Hi, Thanks for watching!!! My mom says the high notes saturate the microphone. It's a 10 year old camera but still works. My mom does the best she can.

--Emma

[Rodier1128]

I figured.

If you know where the microphone on the camera is, you can put a sock or some other fabric over it to keep some of the sound from getting to the mic. It should smooth it out some.

[GeoRockMin]

Thanks for the suggestion!!!

--Emma

[ethantrimmer12]

this is so great, i wish i could have done that.

[asilva20]

BRAVA!!!!

[GeoRockMin]

Hi Everyone, Thanks for checking this out so fast!!! I really appreciate it!!!
