I'm glad I'm not the only one that has these conversations with their dog 😂 My chihuahua used to howl along for a bit at first when I'd start playing, which was hilarious. Now she mostly naps through it somehow, she's also a senior now. Miguel is such a cutie. Who could ever say no to that face 😍

[@jenniferz.4888]

I am a pianist, and I swear my dog knows her cadences, because she always thinks practice time is over when she hears them 😂

[@Jenifer.flute20]

Miguel is like “I can be bubbly too” lol when I play my flute my orange cat demands pets and will come and meow at me until I stop. My other cat doesn’t care, she’ll just lay next to wherever I am.

[@tiaestey8887]

Sounds like my cats, too!

[@janetmckenzie146]

Satie: Dans une grande bonté (with great benevolence); Sans orgueil (without pride); Très perdu (quite lost); Ouvrez la tête (open your mind); Postulez en vous-même (make demands on yourself); Munissez-vous de clairvoyance (provide yourself with clear sightedness); and my favorite, Questionnez (Ask!) Although I've also seen 'In the shape of a pear' somewhere.

[@FlautistaMel]

Just whip out the piccolo if you really need the pets to let you practice; my cats flee in terror, but I think my dog is just going deaf (she’s 11) because it doesn’t bother her much!

[@marcoslays]

love the late vlogmas to keep the christmas vibes going 😅❤

[@krishmarg5376]

Thanks for keeping it real. It’s inspiring and gives room for others to let go of too much expectations on themselves and btw your playing is Amazing 😃❣️😃

[@allihaywood8561]

Ha ha! Miguel was trying to sing with you. My dog also sometimes sings and interrupts with a toy. Mostly he is good, but if I'm playing something repetitive like scales he disappears to our bedroom....tunes are fine though!

[@tiaestey8887]

I have two cats - one cat does not mind the flute and will just nap while I play, occasionally looking up when I play notes in the high register. My other cat hates the flute and will immediately run out of the room when I start putting my flute together. She will also yowl at me once I am done. LOL

[@coloraturaElise]

My cat would always hide in the back closet when I played/gave lessons, on flute, clarinet, or sax. Clarinet was her least favorite, which is funny, since Prokofiev gave the cat theme from Peter and the Wolf to the clarinet!

[@karenb1206]

Thank you for going through the music with us how you approach it. Its so interesting. Wonderful. Thank you for fitting everything in. 😊 Dog interruptions notwithstanding! ❤❤

[@dalairem]

"...there's so many freaking notes in here." I get it! And yes, we all have those days, those trainwreck or traffic jam practice sessions, but Miguel's sweet song would have destroyed any seriousness in me. 😅 You continued so bravely! Hoo boy, have I ever had those days, though! With my Haynes in the shop over the holidays, getting through these past few weeks' programs with my nice-but-it's-a-spare-for-a-reason flute has made a few more of those days than I like. But the Haynes is home as of today, so we get to close out the Christmas season comfortably.

[@matthewgoodrich594]

great video, as always!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@carriepurtell6374]

I love that your dog howls while you play. Mine does too. Sometimes it's hard not to take it personally....as if it's his criticism of my playing LOL

[@BUY_YOUTUB_VIEWS_986]

I'm not sure how, but you just made my day 100 times better.

[@michelleforche2893]

I’ve sewn some interesting markings in the Star Wars music such as “with great menace”!

[@beatricedono9945]

I'm also practicing La Notte from vivaldi, really stressfull 🥲

[@oxoelfoxo]

It IS indeed fine, Katie! Enjoying your Vlogmas in January and will enjoy it in July if there's that much material to post, haha. I like Katie w dark hair!

[@suzyinstitches273]

I can’t play when the dog yowls, I’m laughing too much 😂

[@nightingalehollow]

I too often feel like quitting the flute. Luckily we know we just have to endure a little longer 😊.

[@dianadesaiflutestudio7958]

Hi! Lovely video! Also, where do you get your hair done? And what color do you use? It's really beautiful! 😍

[@VeggiesbyEos]

My dogs thankfully don't care when I practice lol

[@MrStan0630]

Hi Katie Are you a “ringer” with the Reading Symphony Orchestra? I assume you don’t rehearse with them.

[@edwinvillegas7564]

Any advice for beginning flute player

[@georgecrowe783]

Practice regularly but not too long each day also listen to lots of recording of good flute players :))

[@jonprudhomme7694]

Sure she's used to it by now, but I would find it hard not to smile and laugh if my dog started to growl/harmonize with me. 😂

[@LynnDavidNewton]

Katie, I'm sorry about your disk drive problems. I note that you use an iPad, so I'm guessing that your computer is probably a Mac of some variety. Do you not make Time Machine backups to an external drive? These are lifesavers sometimes. Also, you might look into investing in a NAS (Network Attached Storage), which involves a bit of up-front investment, but it's not exorbitant. There are many things besides simply backing things up that you can do with it. For one thing, you can put your Time Machine on it. Also, other people can use it in the same way. I don't know what your husband's computer requirements are, but I'm guessing they are similar to yours, and that there are things that are particular to each of you and things that you'd no doubt like to share. All this can be done using the same machine. A KZbin comment is not the place to expound on this, but you live in New York, so I'm sure expertise is very nearby. I'm sure if you expend a little time and effort you can set up a system that will prevent you from having another disaster like you just experienced. The last thing any creative type of person wants to experience is to have their lifework disappear.

Although this may not be the timeline that you were planning on, know that it is still very appreciated 🩷🩷🩷
