I LOVED this one! I love being introduced to new pieces through your vlogs. Sur l'eau and Undine were so beautiful, and can't wait to start working on those. I love and appreciate the makeshift vlogmas this year
OUtstanding! Congratulations. A solo recital is an enormous amount of work, both preparing and of course the concert itself is like running a marathon. I commend you for choosing to favor newer music.
Wow what a totally eclectic and interesting program. Of course I'm a big sucker for the Copeland. And you guys are like one person playing that. Yay both of you!
I loved hearing your husband practice because this is what my house sounds like (taking turns practicing with my husband). Except it’s always at night with practice mutes on, haha (4 little kids sleeping)!
You are an absolutely amazing flautist. I have 6-7 years of experience and have recently come across your channel. Definitely going to be watching more of your videos! Keep going! ❤
Helllo Katie. When I want to practice, but others might not want to hear me, I found that using a 'bread tie', ya know that little piece of wire that has a plastic coating on it keeping the loaf of bread closed, that if you use a pencil or some other small diameter object, and bend the middle of that wire tie around that object and making a half twist so that the 'tie' has a circle in the middle, then bending the two arms of that 'tie' into the shape of an 'M', with the circle being placed into the blow hole, then placing the ends of the "M" underneath the lip plate, away from your mouth, that the circle will disrupt the air flow and the flute will not whistle, but will be very quite, and then you can play without disturbing anyone. Try it, then if you find you like it, tell your students how they have no excuse. PS I also found that if I bend the circle so that it is against the opposite side of where your lips are, that your lips will not touch the wire tie. Joe
I'm relearning the clarinet for a choir piece this season and finding your channel has been so inspiring and fun. I focus on stretching my lower back between choir concerts, because of standing for such a long time, but I should do more arm stretching! Seeing how you practice has been really helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely music you picked out and inspiring me to write more for the flute (my own instrument needs work too). Glad your train wasn’t late too! You and Santi did a terrific job!! For you iPad music, do you use ForScore?
I am struck by your comment about chosing a recital dress. During the recital my eye got pulled back to the painting on the wall - a woman in a similar dress.
Hi! Love your videos! Sorry to bother with a question that has nothing to do with the video, but would you be able to tell me where you got your apple pencil cover from? It’s so cute and i just can’t seem to find it ❣️
I love watching your vlogs about your life as a professional musician. Sorry you are having sleep issues. Try to stay off pills as they can become addictive.
Hi Katie. I have a propose for further practice. I noticed that you practice a lot, and maybe for a better tone. I think it suits you with a light, vulnerable tone. You have a very wellpracticed technique, but I think you should try to get a little more relaxed, it helps sometimes automatically in your everyday routines. You have too many tensions in your embouchure, which restrains you from getting all the notes out. You can try, a somewhat slow 5-notes scale: 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1-1-5-1-1.. You start on the low D, and play major, only 5 notes. The important part, is to say: Bleadrrbleddrbladr. And afterwards try to let go on the "smile", you have to do when you make a tone. Let go in your "mouth-ends" (sorry I'm danish), and focus on playing like that, with a fuzzy sound. Then you slowly take the next major scale, chromatic upwards. When you are ready to open up your sound, you can experiment with how your posture is: I noticed it suits you a little higher up with your head (Put your stand up if necessary), and a little free'er sound - that has to do with the lip' ends. Bye
Love how vocal Miguel is when you’re playing. My teachers dog just used to lay down next to us and snore loudly 😂😂
Miguel yawning and yodeling in the background---so cute. Congrats on your recital!
❣Undine...so beautiful, so expressive! Bravo!!

Would love to see a photo of this please.
I haven't seen one of your videos in so long! I am so glad you are back!!

I have a concert tomorrow and you inspired me to try harder than I was before!
Im glad everything went well with the performance, it was beautiful❤❤❤ congrats to you and Santi, amazing musicians🎉🥰
You are So beautiful amazing flute player😚❣️I enjoy watching your vlog. Thank you🧡
Fascinating behind the scenes. I was wondering if during the performance you used a foot pedal to change the pages. If so it was done invisibly!!
oh my your elbows can extend beyond straight to go the other way! You sound fabulous!
Lovely music you picked out and inspiring me to write more for the flute (my own instrument needs work too). Glad your train wasn’t late too! You and Santi did a terrific job!! For you iPad music, do you use ForScore?
Nice work!🎉
i was hoping for option 1 in choice of clothing! it's really beautiful and i believe it has been a success playing in that dress :)
I love the flute so much and your channel ❤

Thank you for another video❤❤❤

Doggos gotta warmup too 🤣🥹

Sounding good. I study with Mary Karen! She support you too.
Hello, a question, what is the song that appears in the intro of your video?
Poulenc sonata :)
Thank you :)))))))@@katieflute
Tenes idea porque tu pequeño miguel le molesta los oídos cuando tocas? Me lo estoy preguntando porque me sabe pasar también
