concert vlog: performing in a private loft 🎶

[@madelinegrudens]

Another great vlog and supremely well edited, with beautiful music - and it gives me such a nostalgic feeling for NYC. Great performance, would love to hear the whole thing! So much fun 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I'm a simple Physics teacher, aged 50... and whenever I watch your videos, I say: - I have to learn this wonderful instrument. 😄😇🥰😍

[@emilybergevin651]

she is AMAZING... I like to joke that after hearing her play I'm gonna go home and melt my flute for jewelry.

[@weinerdogcat3101]

Some vanilla ice cream would have gone well with that rich looking cake!

[@DesignSynergyStudio]

Even your printer is pink! It's great getting a glimpse into someone who is doing flute for a living.

[@DrQuizzler]

Really nice vlog!! It gave a real taste of what your week was like. The concert seemed lively and fun with such an engaged audience!! Sounds like they got to hear a great selection of pieces!! The dogs dreaming of turkey was a nice touch!

[@neskidmore]

So happy to see you back, Katie!

[@LynnDavidNewton]

You live a good life! I miss the musician's life. I lived it for 25 years.

[@oxoelfoxo]

Looks like a full house. Good thing the rain stopped!

[@dilgenics3617]

your editing style is soooo cute

[@keditsyoutube]

love to see you back with your videos!!

[@elskerlme7992]

Your vlogs are so chill and calming. A pleasure to watch ^^

[@suzanneparker1799]

Loved this. NIce to see your family and your concert sounded fabulous. Oh to be a young musician in New York. So impressed with your talent and ability to navigate being a freelance musician in such a large environment.

[@anotheronedemotwo]

although it requires a lot of editing, i enjoy watching these vlogs!! keep up the good work!

[@janetmckenzie146]

I love these Week in a Life videos! Oh, and I had that concert in mind but I forgot to put it on my calendar . . . it sounded great and also more modern than the concert at the Tile store. Your practice sessions are always very interesting, and a good reminder of how much work goes on offstage (always for musicians, or opera singers, and so on.) I like that you’ve added the thumbnail of the music book you are using, and yes, Jeremías’ part looked well worn! That seems to be both an advantage-you can see marks from previous players-and a disadvantage-you can see marks from previous players! David, who is in NYChoral, uses the same ipad music system as you, and he really likes it. I just got an ipad pencil so I’m still experimenting. Have a great week, and see you at a lesson or concert soon! 🦋

[@hannahkleinnibbelink5390]

If I will ever be in America I will come to New York City to hear you play with Sonora Collective!!!!!

[@MrStan0630]

I’m glad the rain stopped. I wish I could remember the name of the musician who said his best performance was the night there was only one person in the audience. Loved listening to you play for your family.

[@oxoelfoxo]

Musicians ought to always record their concerts then

[@krisraz8365]

I too am a flutist who loves to drink manhattans!!! Also, with regards to Carol of the bells at the end of this vlog I remember Kyle from your older videos :). Would love to see some more duets with the two of you!

[@michellescheen2630]

One of my fellow alumni just got to sing in Aida at the Met this week! The role of the Messenger!

[@nestorv7627]

"Homeland" was such a particular score. I felt transported to the Amazon forest as if I were a part of some hunting tribe in the lush jungle who had magical music powers that attracted catch.

[@LasseJulius]

Gosh I love your videos!! When my friend is here, we always start the evening with a "Manhatten", I really was like "yikes!!!" when I saw, you/your guests had one as well! So cool!! Can you send the recepie of your lasts video of the "bowl" with the apple cider and the ginger beer?

[@BrentCraig7]

I don't know how NO body would not want to show

[@leslijenkins3661]

Is it hard to find an apartment where you can practice the way you need to? Because I imagine that would be hard enough in a suburb, let alone in NYC.

[@IreneBBT]

I loooove your vlogs Katie! Greetings from Vienna :)

[@bgangler877]

Amazing. You sound amazing! Dream job!

[@SufyMusic]

Very cool Katie ❤

[@serhioramires3166]

🌺Thanks very much for video! A little Drinking Musicians.... 🥰 ps. - It seems to me that if it is not played, then the reason is the player himself. Not only the tool plays, but also our body. If he is alarmed, then there is disonance, anxiety. There is a problem in character. You have to learn to be an actor. And cheerfully, with inspiration to play even sick at the trash) -i never had a thanksgiving. There is no such holiday in my country. Therefore, there is no favorite dish:)) May bee mashed potatoes not dish? Little turkey + and --->> dish!! 🌤 Great work, Katie! ✨Awesome concert!!!💐

[@craftyartisan1122]

Do you use a pedal or something to turn pages on your ipad while playing the music? If so, what do you use. Enjoying your videos and beautiful playing! Thank you!

[@dawncurry5757]

I have the same question about turning pages. That iPad thing is so cool but how do you turn pages when you need both hands playing the flute? Question from on older person that has never used anything like that before!

[@jamesgayleohare4699]

May I ask a silly question? What are you using to store for music? So cool.

[@katieflute]

Hi! Not a silly question :) I use the forScore app

[@marissaclay450]

Hello from California! I’m wondering if you could please tell me what thumb rest you’re using; professional flutist here, experiencing some arthritis in my early 40’s. This looks really comfortable, and I’d love to try anything to extend the length of time I’m able to play!

[@jonathanrio6587]

I'm sure it's been addressed before, but what is that piece you put your right thumb on? I've never seen that before. Anyone? Thanks!

[@clarinetchamber7158]

❤

[@MOMandSONCOOKING]

what camera did U used ?

[@SolaraYin8463]

I have a concert tomorrow night

[@MusiciansAddition]

Do you use the same flute for everything or have different flutes for different things?

[@tiagobillar2267]

So nice! I was wondering if you have any pieces for flute (or flute&piano) that you like and you recommend for intermediate players, because I want to learn new music :)

[@emilybergevin651]

Hey Katie, what is the contraption you use for your right thumb? I have issues with that joint (both of them) so I'm always looking for anything that helps.

[@dianadesaiflutestudio7958]

How do you use Moyse "Tone development through interpretation" book? What is your way of practicing it?

[@Xisochela38]

Does anyone know the name of the piece at 0:10?

[@dianadesaiflutestudio7958]

Hi Katie! What software do you use for editing?

[@Jenifer.flute20]

Do you find that the engraving helps with your chin not slipping?

[@Thedreadedflutist]

How do you sort music on forScore?
