Beautiful!!! Saludos de Argentina.

In my years I have found it very difficult to even get an audition with a regional or community orchestra. The flute sections are often locked up with two or three flute players who have been playing there forever and don't have any plans of leaving anytime soon. This was my experience many many years ago with a community orchestra that I wanted to get into. I contacted the administration office, and then my name and contact info was discarded until about a year later when I received a call from the conductor who was outraged that I was brushed off by the personnel manager. The conductor invited me to play for their committee, I was accepted but then had to split the principal chair with the daughter of the outgoing principal flute. It was a cordial arrangement but I never truly felt welcomed, and eventually I resigned.

True Story: at a job I once held (NOT in the midwest….should narrow this down quickly for you, Julia), We had to find the trombone section….SECTION……..at a concert. It was a conductor search concert so there was a change in conductors as it was, and the conductor had already walked out for his piece…..he was ad libbing with the audience, while we (production team) had to run around and find them.

How about a video regarding the musicians union?

Your videos are so well-done. You provide unique information in a smooth and efficient way.

I've noticed how close your fingers are to the keys. That helps this rookie! I have to work on that!

Nicely done!!!!

Versatility, I totally agree. My first Gig in august I Got to play picc,flute,alto,bass and recorder. Had to say no to Pan flute!! I must try to learn that too.. can you play pan flute?

nice arrangement of a sultry tune....very cool!

This is one of my favorites of Gershwin’s music!

Thanks for all the hints on technique. Much appreciated.

I really like this solo, it just glides along. Thanks as always, for posting!

Where can I find the score?

Love it!!❤ Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸

This is Brilliant! Sounds wonderfully Calliopedish! I ❤ it!

I am flautist and piccolist and I can not stop to watch your videos, so inspirational. Thank you so much Julia, you are the best!

So fun! Great job!

Thanks for sharing. Amazing as always! What kind of piccolo do you play?

Love your sound ❤❤

Absolutely fabulous! Happy 4th!

That’s super helpful for me!! thanks for sharing this info with us. i have a question, so it’s not necessary to list down the piece or excerpts on the email right? Or they would come up with impressions that they need to prepare..? thanks a lot!

As a choir singer this is quite wild to me, this whole orchestra hierarchy. We just raise our hand and ask 😂

A Great follow-up!

well said.

your triple lounging is so amazing... so clear. going to try this next time i practice! are you sending your piccolo to Keefe, or is there someone in HI that you can use?

So true :)

Arent those tuitions 250k+?

Thanks in advance of my school orchestra auditions in August 🙌🏻 Ever since my school traveled to Honolulu and less than a month later I by chance came across your Semiramide video for my next audition, I always come back here for these videos!

“One time in Bandcamp” … just kidding lol This video was very helpful, thanks Julia!

Thanks for all your videos😊

I just found you today! Great tips!!!! Thank you’.

Yes!! I absolutely only use TKT KTK for triple tonguing because there's never a glitch with a repeated forward syllable! Thank you for spreading the word. 😁

You're amazing. So clean!

Yes it does! Always be polite, social, and play your best, right?

Perfect example! 😊

This was unexpected! John Williams' soundtracks are amazing.

Thanks for posting, your channel is always extremely useful and inspiring! Would you consider to make a practice guide for Ravel's piano concerto excerpts? Thank you very much!

looks like you might need a new pair of shoes!

This excerpt makes me feel like I'm tripping over cracks in a sidewalk. You have actually given me hope that I can pull this off! LOL!!

This is just brilliant!😊

Listening back to my videos, I see that all my piano dynamics are compressed to a general loud volume- but I assure you I’m playing very soft in real life:)).

These are great tips for alternate fingerings in the upper (hell) register! I always enjoy new videos!! I would love to hear a practice guide for the Vivaldi C Major.

Hello Julia. Greetings from Nicaragua. I am a young man of 20 years old. I decided to buy my first piccolo based on some funeral marches that I heard in some videos from Guatemala. From there, I fell in love with the sound of that beautiful instrument. Unfortunately, in my country, there are no people who execute this instrument. I have searched everywhere for tutorial videos to be able to learn from scratch, but I have not found any success. Do you know where I can get videos that teach me how to play said instrument from scratch? Greetings and blessing.

You got it! I was lucky in that I had no major health issues but the stress of not having insurance sucked wind! And from age 13 to 65, no weekends or holidays off! I had rehearsals 4 nights a week. I loved the work but you can't have a "normal" life. Still I wouldn't have changed too much.

I love the way you explain things. You are an excellent educator. Thank you

It's great fun!

awesome
