@wiesenmahla Thank you!!! :) :) !!! --Emma

[Summerpuppy0]

I tried playing this on my flute, and it turned out really bad. But yours turned out awesome! Keep up the great work!

[mimii98xD]

that sounds difficult! i haven´t ever played whith orchestra, but i think thats good, i play much much much worse than you (is that right so? i´m from germany...) that´s magical, i really love listening to your videos!

[gbeauty97]

[raar6371]

OH EMMA!! With this being from 4 years ago... I could just imagine where your talents are now!! I have been playing the flute for 6 years now and reaping the rewards of beautiful music! A song I think you would be interested in is Fantaise Pastorale Hongroise by Doppler... I'm working on it now and it is sooooo beautiful! I would like to see where your talents are now and what you can do with them!

[GeoRockMin]

@raar6371 Hi, Thanks!!! This was my very first YouTube video. I'm 11 now. If you go to my main channel GeoRockMin there are bunches of videos between this one and now. Maybe you can check it out??

That's awesome you're a flutist too!!! The Pastorale Hungroise is a great piece!!! Have fun!!!

[lifeworksat20]

How long did it take you to do that one from memory...its amazing!

[GeoRockMin]

@lifeworksat20 Hi, This video was so long ago I barely remember playing in the concert. But I don't think it's too hard, but it's been a long time. Sorry I'm no help. :( --Emma

[lopezleon007]

His clean, if the people say don't like this video, the people are envious

[wolgor2]

WOW :O

If Bizet were alive, I'm sure he would be proud of his piece being played by one of the best and youngest flautists in the world

[GeoRockMin]

@wolgor2 Thanks!!! I love playing his music!!! Bizet is awesome!!!

--Emma

[karpov89]

Amazing Emma, 7 years old is a very young age for playing a piece like this with such excellence..you did start to play when you were very young?

[GeoRockMin]

@karpov89 Hi, Yah I started when I was 3, so I've really been playing my whole life.

--Emma

[MultiLuvable1]

@GeoRockMin Emma your amazing!!! I can't believe you were 7!!!! I guess your about 12 or 13 by now and i can't wait to see your most recent videos. GREAT JOB GIRL!!!!!

[MrXiuper]

这女孩绝对有出息啊

[librasmuse101]

As a flute teacher, I love watching your enthusiasm! I'm glad to see music be so important to future generations. Keep up the great work as you continue to mature into your musical adulthood! Best Wishes!

[GossamerInch]

That awkward moment when a seven-year-old is better at flute then you are.

[IHUGANASIAN]

Unbelievable! :) I wish I started at that age. I've only been playing for 8 months and I'm already first chair in my high school band :D

[GeoRockMin]

@IHUGANASIAN Hi, It's great you play the flute too!!! Have fun!!!

--Emma

[maeaq]

You're damn talented..... Practice hard and as I can see you are enjoying yourself while playing I hope and pray that you keep enjoying yourself like that... and make people hear to your beautiful flute playing...!!

=)

[xMinuet]

how long have you been playing?



[GeoRockMin]

@xMinuet Hi, I started when I was 3. Thanks for watching!!!

--Emma

[xMinuet]

@GeoRockMin whoa wow, how can a 3 year old learn how to play? thats amazing!

[ShellyA227]

Bravo!!! You play amazingly! Your performance through the first and third variations remind me of my university audition--but I had been playing for ten years at that point. I bet you would be able to learn the unaccompanied Flight of the Bumblebee (one of my audition pieces). I would love to hear you on a stage near me one day :)

[MahoRoulete]

Emma,

You are a very nice person. Every reply you gave, even to the rude trolls, are just so nice. Dont quit like a lot of "prodigy", i would love to play something with you one day!

[GeoRockMin]

@MahoRoulete Hi, Thanks for watching!!! Have fun playing your flute!!!  :) :)

--Emma

[ItsMeCheeto]

BRAVO! BRAVA!

Well done, young one.

[GeoRockMin]

@raquer10101 Hi, Thank you!!! That means alot to me!!! --Emma

[7mariemusic]

Hi emma!

Wow, you're really amazing!

I also play the flute, i passed my audition for the montreal music conservatory for next year, and i got in, so im going to become a flutist too!

I was wondering for how long have you been playing and what kind a flute do you have?

You really have talent!

Thanks and good luck with everything!

[GeoRockMin]

@7mariemusic Thanks!!! I started when I was 3 and I have a Powell Conservatory flute. I love it!!! Have fun at the Montreal Conservatory!!! --Emma

[attaragal1]

לא רק יפה אלא גם כישרונית מאוד כי מאוד קשה לילדה בגילה

לבצע מנגינה כל כך קשה כמו כרמן בלי לשגות אפילו פעם אחת

אהבתי מאוד

ג.עטרה

[diazflavia1]

--Emma

[thehannabunny]

[GeoRockMin]

@thehannabunny Hi, Thanks for watching!!!  It's awsome you're learning the Carmen Fantasy!!! Have fun!!!

--Emma

[thehannabunny]

@GeoRockMin I am glad about playing this soon, too. And maybe I can play this in the orchestra of our school. How old are you now?

[GeoRockMin]

@thehannabunny Hi, I'm 10 now. This video seems like such a long time ago. I barely remember it.

--Emma

[kirtzu97]

aaaw your flute looks so big for you :D awesome playing ;)

[iRpamp3rs]

you're crazy fantastic. i've been learning this song for the past few months and i'm performing it in front of my friends and family in a months time - and you have it memorized? wow. at seven years old, that's an incredible accomplishment!

[CPDMedia]

prodigie girl =)

[fyre3dtv]

the 32 dislike must be brass people :P

[eltinxd]

[bandgeeksrul]

what amazes me is that your playing this so well and by MEMORY!

[daniellepoe2216]

This is a verrry good clip!! Keep it up

--Danielle

[lawlipopgurll]

where do you take your flute lessons? your really good!!!!

[GeoRockMin]

@lawlipopgurll Hi, Thanks for watching!!! I don't go to a music school, I just take regular lessons. 

--Emma :) :)

[flutist4440]

@GeoRockMin Who's your teacher? :) Were you taught in the suzuki method since you started out so young?

[GeoRockMin]

@flutist4440  Hi, Yah I started with Suzuki on a little curved headjoint flute. It was alot of fun!!!

--Emma

[SuperPike8]

When you perform with an orchestra, what's going through your mind?

--Jason

[GeoRockMin]

@SuperPike8 Hi Jason, This video was a really long time ago. But now when I play with orchestras I really try to soak in the sound of the orchestra so my playing sounds right with their sound. --Emma

[SuperPike8]

Why would it be weird? What would be the difference of a video of your practice and of a recital? Can't you ask your parents and flute instructor? Please!!! --Jason :)

[SuperPike8]

Hi, Could you post a video of you practicing at your lesson that you have? That would be awesome to actually see how you practice instead reading about it in your comments!!!

--Jason

[GeoRockMin]

@SuperPike8 Hi Jason, I like to try to help but I think it would feel weird to make a video of my practice or lesson. Sorry. --Emma

[BeckyFlute123]

You are absolutely amazing!!!! You are just a natural and I am jealous of your talent!!!!!! Great work and I hope you never put down the flute!!!!!!

[ElisaFluteSpain]

I saw all yours videos Emma, you¨r really great, seriously, buy honey, if you read this, don´t forguet that you are only a child, you need to do something more that play flute and play concertos. Go out with friends, read book, play tennis, something more...think about it (and your parents too).

[GeoRockMin]

@ElisaFluteSpain Hi, Thanks for being so nice!!! I do all those things and more!!! And yes I love the flute!!! --Emma

[Piyaphob]

simply a prodigy...

[amyzhang3395]

aww you look so cute :D

[Munlicwick]

Wow I can't even dream of playing this good even though I am the best in my band..... U make me green with envy

[exmen777]

un gran futuro exelente !!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheCandywilson2]

OK...I started playing flute 3 years ago, and I am in my 50's now. This helps me see, I CAN do it!!! Girl, keep going strong.

Candy :)

[GeoRockMin]

@TheCandywilson2 Hi Ms. Candy, That's a really really nice thing to say!!! Yes You CAN Do It!!! And you did help me stay strong!!! --Emma

[flutist4440]

I think it's awesome that she responds to many of the comments on her videos :) i played this today in an honer concert. Over 200 8th and 9th grade flutes tried out and ten were chosen. I was lucky enough to make it in. :) Most of the people in the band considered this song hard, i didn't really, but for a girl of her age it's impressive.

[GeoRockMin]

@flutist4440 Hi, Thanks!!! And congratulations!!! It sounds like your concert was great!!!

--Emma :) :)

[wildforhorses33648]

i emma i play the flute too and u r an amazing player u have a beautiful sound keep it up !!  -Autumn

[Fireheart228]

You're crazy, kid, but in the good way.

I've been in band for eight years and I've never heard a flautist sound so good.

[GeoRockMin]

@Fireheart228 Hi, You're really nice!!! Thanks!!!

--Emma

[mrsfluteluver]

you inspire me

[simsfreak141]

ur very good!

[nevie98]

Hiay what type of flute do you have (i also plauy)?? Ive recently playled Troika by S. Prokofiev have you ever played Troika before if so please tell me i would love to here you play!! x

[bassoongrl1993]

She must be an albino asian.

[clgillas]

Dear Emma,

I'm so very impressed by your playing! Don't listen to any negative comments -- you have lovely posture! I have been playing the flute for 15 years and always love seeing your videos. Thank you for sharing! I was going to post on your Ravel video, but I'll just ask here: If you wouldn't mind checking, who is the publisher of your Habanera sheet music? I love the sound much better than the version I have which is in a different key. :) Thanks, and best of luck!

Caroline

[GeoRockMin]

@clgillas Hi Caroline, Thanks!!! I played the LeDuc edition of the Ravel Habanera, transcribed by Louis Fleury. Have fun playing!!!  --Emma

[16flutelover]

man i am almost as good as her im not as good as her yet but i have been playing for 8 years

[bnmoyler]

How long have you been Emma?

[GeoRockMin]

@bnmoyler Hi, I started when I was 3 and I was 7 in this video. I'm a lucky girl to play the flute!!!

--Emma

[Tanky48]

your a prodigy right?

[GeoRockMin]

@Tanky48 Hi, Thanks for watching!!! All I can say is I love, love, love the flute, I've been playing my whole life, and I'll never stop. --Emma

[TheSarahK7]

Wow, I'm speechless....I've played the flute for 4 years now and I know I couldn't play that anywhere as well as you did. My high school band is playing this in January with Mary Karen Clardy doing the flute solo. How on earth did you realize that you could play flute so well at such a young age? And what kind of flute do you have?
