Sounds beautiful to me, with plenty of emotion. Well done. Nice sound.

@jazzflutist thank you very much

[holaworldxD]

i got in to juliard clarinetist who were one of the fortunate one to get selected

and.. i'm telling you ur good but.. ur really lacking. of emotions... really.

u need to understand music more i think. You need to find the inner beauty and well if you .don't.. u sound.. very... empty...

thank you for the comments, i have made a lot of progress since this vid. I just received my Masters and in the two years that it took, I have spent most of the time working on emoting.  At the start of my second year, my musicality really jumped to a new level, and technically everything starting to find its place. I am going to try to put up some audio recordings of my Master's Recital. I picked a beast of a program, Francaix Concerto, Waterson Grand Quartet, Brahms Two, ended with Rossini.

@hyatt2005 no instrument is easy to 'play well', especially flute. It's easy to make a sound out of it but to play it well is another story.

I played the clarinet all the way through high school and oh man it is one tough instrument. It is like playing protoss in starcraft. The odds are just so stacked against you, from the reed busting off or splintering into your mouth to crazy spit dripping out of the bottom, you have to be one serious dude to handle this instrument. I once had parts of a reed stuck in my gums and I had to pull it out with tweezers. I would have definitely chosen to play the flute if I got to do it over again

I'm 13, and I want to go there when I get older. I wish they had a football team and marching band so I could do marching and concert band.

@shadow582 : I was thinking of Miles Davis and his (brief?) Julliard experience, and that led me to try and think up something slightly irreverent: when you've passed Julliard, then you have to learn how to play (or, something like that). But, to me, I think you should be teaching them a thing or two. You have a lovely fluid way of playing. Expression is fine for classical. Improvising can improve it otherwise.
