I'm going to continue working on a song I am arranging with my friends and I am going to practice!

We bought a suit for my sister's fiancee. But their marriage might not even happen due to corona.

[@adamhenderly1602]

Extrication training and learning Dutch.

[@erikacastiello2976]

These Donjon études are absolutely fantastic! I'm studying them and also Karg Elert caprices. Compliments to your playing! 🤩🎶🌟

Wow this is a tricky one, beautifully played.

[@katiedrinkscoffee]

At first I thought it said Don Juan and I almost started crying

[@hwpoison]

So beautiful 💝💝💝

[@tobiaslagerberg8962]

Strong play

[@dak2386]

This one was extremely hard not even gonna lie

[@hanahniazi970]

Love this one Katie! I also have a video request if you’re interested, I think it’d be really cool to see you compose your own song or etude and then perform it for us! Also, would you be interested in playing Mozart’s Concerto in D major K.314?

[@DrQuizzler]

Sounded really good to me. We're our own worse critics. :)

[@lingling1066]

Ling Ling could do better, wait... I can't do better

[@noayamaguchi9021]

LOL!🤣🤣🤣

[@lorislittles3070]

Would love to know what brand flute you recommend for serious junior high going into high school flute player. Done renting, ready to buy, no particular budget, want to get something that may last into college. We love your videos :) thanks!!

[@thoregulden4545]

You could try the Azumi S3/Z3RBI, Sankyo CF-201 RBI, Altus 807/907 RBI, Yamaha 587-B orbthe Trevor James Virtuoso. If you have a bigger Budget than that, try the Muramatsu EX-RBI☝🏻

[@lorislittles3070]

Thore Gulden thank you!! 👍

[@malkalevanna1071]

I really want to learn the basics of the flute during quarantine, any advice? I know I won’t become great at playing the flute, but I just want to start to get familiar with the instrument. Is it possible to self teach the absolute basics?

[@rubygray7749]

If you check Katie's video list, she has some where she helps absolute beginners learn the flute! So do several other YT flutists. Have fun!

[@serenitygarza7026]

Nothing really just watch your videos

[@znazlikadioglu]

wow this is hard

[@حيدرالبصراوي-ن7ب]

Hello..I am from Iraq. I bought a flute because I want to learn to play the flute. What is the first step .. Thank you.

[@ruthhmire]

Hello I have a question :( Why my ears are buzzing when I play high notes on the flute? and this is annoying Did you know pls? :((

[@katieflute]

you might want to get a good pair of ear plugs! (the kind made for music/musicians, not the foam ones they give you on a plane lol) I wear ear plugs when practicing in the high register most of the time :)

[@ruthhmire]

@@katieflute :0 Thank you for answering me I'm more relieved hahaha I will try to buy this thanks!! ♥♪

[@ruthhmire]

@@katieflute Sorry for the late reply, I would like to ask you, please, which brand do you recommend and where could I buy them? Thank you very much

[@notallgarbage]

I could probably play this on the clarinet (with a lot of practice) if it would be 3 tones lower on the score (so 4 tones). I can't reach altissimo F cleanly and constantly. She goes up to G. The jumps are quite enormous too... that would be a great practice! 🙂

Please, please, please, turn the pages a bit earlier! (like you do a bit after 0:55 in this video)
