I've watched you since 2020 and yes i agree your videos have gotten 1000 times better and so has your flute playing you've even motivated me to try my best at flute and in a few days i have my grade 8 exam so thank you for making such nice content.
YAY VLOGMAS! This is one of my favorite flute traditions in December! Thanks so much for making the VLOGMAS series, Katie! I look forward to it all year! ❤🎉❤
Great video. Thanks for sharing. So true on the auxiliary instrument. I play baroque flute and during the summer I picked up a 5 Kay French flute. It’s like my piccolo. Now I’m going to follow your technique. Just a little bit in the middle of the practice session. Great advice.
Love seeing one of my favorite musician youtubers watching my favorite dance youtuber.. not what I would have guessed you watched! For my old programs I bought a small (I think the size I searched for online was mini?) 3 ring binder and page protectors and they sit alongside all my collection of playbills in their binders! I do the same thing with my music actually too but just in bigger binders.. and mine is organized alphabetically by composer and/or title (It only makes sense in my head I'm sure it would drive someone else nuts!)
Awe! I follow Kathryn Morgan too (although I don’t nor have I ever danced ballet, lol). I have a Music degree as a clarinetist though so I appreciate ballet from a classical music perspective. You have been an inspiration to me as I have played flute for about 15 years now and it’s a secondary instrument to me but I love it. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life on RUclips!!
I’ve been in kind of a rut the last couple of weeks and I haven’t practice as much as I’d like to but this video motivated me so much I picked up my viola practiced.
On the subject of what to do with your old programs: It could be a fun keepsake to get them bound as a book if you want to keep them all? Especially if they're all the same size, maybe connecting with an amateur book-binder who can put them all together for you?
Thank you for sharing your warm up routing. I always wonder what I should be working on and I have to be very picky because my time is so valuable. You rock! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas ❤
Hi Katie! Thanks so much for showing your entire warmup routine-it’s so tempting to play a quick scale or two and move on ;) I’m currently on flute sabbatical & I’m spending time with my piano. I think I may go flute shopping in January; my Murumatzu is beautiful but we haven’t become friends, so I think it is time to try something else. Anyways, time to decorate for the holidays! 🦋
I have "collected"/hoarded all my choir programs for almost two decades and last year realised they were only ever in a box and I never looked at them. I decided to get rid of them but before I did that I just took pictures of them all and have them in digital form now. Not that I look at them that way, but at least they don't take up valuable space :) Another way of thinking that might help get rid of the "sentimentality" aspect is this: the kindest thing you can do for your future children (or whoever will be around to sort out your estate when you've passed) is to get rid of all your crap as soon as you can (or not even collect it in the first place). This may sound harsh, but don't make anyone have to go through the agonising task of sorting through it all, deciding what to keep and what to chuck, etc all whilst grieving for you at the same time. P.S. LOVE Reichert 2, features regularly in my practice, too!!!!
Kathryn Morgan is the best-I’ve watched her for several years. I like her analysis of dancers in the Nutcracker; she was Dewdrop at the NYCB-I would have loved to see that performance!
That cross-handed technique and exercise is from Pat George's Scale Games. She also references it in some of her other books. I'll be sure and tell her you use it! Also, kudos on the metronome work. Always good.
Omg, Vlogmas again! ❤❤🎉 About Miguel, I think that he doesn't like the flute because it's something that sounds high for his ears, so that's probably why he starts howling. Anyways, I love your videos! They are inspiring and they make me want to practice 😂❤ Greetings from Argentina 😊
Your tone is one of my favorites. Not sure whether its you or the flute, but your tone is so... Muramatsu, especially that dark earthy lows. I have the EX and I know that sound.
omg Miguel will be 5 already i remember a vlog when you introduced your instruments to him when he was a little pup :') it seems like it was not that long ago
I'm so happy with all this HIGH QUALITY FLUTE CONTENT💖
Thanks for a great start to VLOGMAS 2024! We are grateful for you, too, Katie!

Love this video! Can you talk a bit about how to work on vibrato/how to make a beautiful vibrato?

The Reichert seven daily exercises have changed my flute playing completely. I love to play them.

Put all the programs in a book so you can look back on them! You could probably have them bound by someone to make a table book by year?
Your tone is one of my favorites. Not sure whether its you or the flute, but your tone is so... Muramatsu, especially that dark earthy lows. I have the EX and I know that sound.

yaaay ☺️
I would like to hear you play Bazzini's The Dance of the Goblins.
What flute did you use in this video??
It seems like fun
Hi Katie,
Which Flute is this, in the video?
Thanks, William from Australia.
14:33 I throw them in the back of my closet somewhere
What is your new flute? Is it that Powell you loved so much from The Flute Center in Chicago?
Definitely is a Muramatsu DS. I’m very curious why she went from gold to silver!
@@SalvatoreRion It actually might be an SR, which I play, it's an amazing flute.
Can you show a tutorial on how you play an entire scale with only one hand?
Well I organise my sheet music by instrument because I dont have that much ☝️😌
My teacher makes us play full range scales. That is so stupid.
