i love that across the music world, playing this piece has been the universal way to flex mastery over an instrument. solid work! 💖💕

[@TheOriginalItchyman]

No one adapts an extremely tough violin part like Nikka

[@tagbon]

As well as everything about the piece, your play and your dress, I also loved how the light danced on your flute. Wonderful! 💖

[@hanahuii]

Bravo! A brilliant performance by an individual who practices hard every single day, to be 14 and to play at this level is incredible, I can't imagine the amount of practice and work required for your skills!

Nikka, your breath control and range of tone color is so inspiring, not to mention your incredible technique! Brava!! ❤

[@janinehaynes6707]

😂 The laughing emoji is purely because I enjoyed it so much I laughed and says a big “yes” out loud and a smile emoji just didn’t express how happy I am to hear this Caprice played this way. You allowed each section to breathe and land, your skill and technique is beyond exemplary! Your tone and colours were exquisite! I bloody loved it! Thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@RebeccaETripp]

[@b67322002]

Well done that is fabulous!

[@b67322002]

Could you please tell me as a beginner which flute could be appropriate for us? Thank you

[@nikkaflute]

@@b67322002 thank you so much for your comment! If you are looking for a closed-hole flute, I would recommend the Yamaha student flute. However, if you are looking for a more advanced open-hole flute, I would start on Haynes Amadeus model (their intermediate level). I play a custom Haynes and absolutely love it. Hope this helps!

[@b67322002]

@@nikkaflute Thank you very much. I have another question, do you recommend an online tutor for me? I am working in rural in Australia, it is not easy to find one around here. I mean is it possible to learn via online? Or if you have online classes

[@oliwiersobiczewski1143]

[@ximia920]

This ist crazy 😍 I really wish I could play nearly as good as you. How long did you needed to learn this piece? 😍

[@nikkaflute]

Thank you for your kind words!!! It took me about 4 months from start to recording.

[@user-hz9sv4wi2q]

Que tecnica

The title of the tv programme what was it on a sunday night

[@courtneyf6041]

Whoa!! Is this arrangement available to buy? I much prefer it over the one I have!

[@nikkaflute]

Thank you for listening! It’s my adaptation of Marina Piccinini’s version.
