Arthur Honegger - Danse de la Chevre for solo flute

Played it in my ABRSM grade 8 exam a long time ago, got 29/30 for it...probably played it better at the time when I was practising it!

You have a lovely sound! Very well performed. I am learning this piece right now along with the Platti Sonata in G.

One suggestion, however. You have a lot of extraneous movement going on. This could be a problem for two reasons. First, it is distracting for the audience and can take the focus off your wonderful performance. Second, it is extra energy that could be used toward your sound and performance. I would go for a more "green" approach and try to cut out the extra unnecessary movement.

Thanks. I've had the same comments from everyone, its amazing how I hardly move at all these days, recording myself really pointed out something which I wasn't aware of

Who said you had to be a 100% professional to post on the internet? I really enjoyed the video you posted and it was fun for me to read along with my music as you played. I appreciate your video, nice work!

@brightnailpolish0503 you can do it! all you need to do is practice! Trust me, I'm a clarinet player who made the advanced band my 9th grade year(this year). You just need to practice as much as you can, and if you really want it, then you'll get it down and nail it. My friend is in the same exact situation(she even plays flute haha small world) and I told her the exact same thing. Wish you luck!

This was amazing, I have to play this for a 9th grade wind ensemble audition and I wanted to get the feel of it by listening to someone play it, thanks so much for uploading this

I just got this piece today and am now working through it. You have done an amazing job on it!! I am only grade 6 level, but I was wondering, how long did it take you to learn it and how long do you spend practicing?

[Beetoandcleeko]

Stunning!! I really enjoyed hearing this. You are an inspiration to me.

[lieshbird1994]
