Jeffrey Khaner-Principal Flute

[@tobiasherrmann4719]

Thank you for this great Video!

[@heidifluteatl]

These are really special interviews. I learn something to improve my flute playing from each of them. And it's just a joy to hear from these musicians themselves.

Though I don't play the flute it is always a pleasure to hear from the masters. Thanks for being these people to our attention, Ed.

He is absolutely spot on about the value of studying music in other endeavors. This guy is brilliant in his expression of what he is all about. He must play brilliantly as well. Thanks again Ed.

For me, he doesnt play very musically. Even compared to even less famous soloists in my humble opinion. You can look up his solo albums on spotify if you search 'Jeffery Khaner', I hope you enjoy his music and his efforts

@ayakosaito7323lol nobody in the world (except for many Khaner himself) thinks that Khaner is a better flutist than Pahud, as a soloist or orchestral principal or in any other setting, and this is coming from a fan of Khaner’s style. Pahud is like an alien, one of the absolute best and most versatile classical wind players in recorded history

Where is the excerpt of the piece played at the beginning of the video from

At 35:09 "I don't consider it my responsibility to teach students who going to get jobs". Whaaaat? Did he really say that? Then why go to college? This statement threw me for a loop!!! Ok Mr. Khaner, how are these students going to pay student loans payments of $500-600 they borrowed to study with you, when they go to college for 4 years and don't have the ability to go and make a living with their instrument because they haven't had the proper preparation in training, support, mentorship? I stopped the video when I heard that. After teaching for over 40 years I couldn't disagree with you more..

You've clearly never met the man. His goal is to make people better flutist. Good flutists get jobs, but flute greatness should be the goal for a serious musician. There are much easier ways to get a stable paycheck, it's important, but it's not the be all end all.

I agree with you. At first I love his talking, but after awhile I feel this high level talk is bit hollow and doesn't help young musicians to face the cruel reality nowadays. It's just like you can talk these never ending. If he has to go through the auditions nowadays, he wouldn't talk like this way. Comparing to this, I have watched some other talkings from principal flutists of prestigious symphonies provide more pragmatical advices and high level of artistic mindset at the same time. To learn how to learn it's very common in other disciplines in university, don't feel this is strong enough to get into very competitive prestigious musical school. Moreover it reminds me of this article from NY Times: "The Juilliard Effect: Ten Years Later" (By Daniel J. Wakin, Dec. 12, 2004) It didn't shock me that just very few students could have typical career as musician, but no one talked about this to these talented students, so they didn't psychologically fully prepare this and started to struggle or to realize the reality after graduation, and they can barely explain to others, cuz it's so hard to believe, this could be the worst moment of their life. And I don't feel it changes a lot by the way of his talking. Good luck to those students, however, I see some KZbinrs from Julliard, maybe it's a good way out to get exposure nowadays.
