I love your willingness to be so transparent about your struggles and de-stigmatize the frustrations of being a creative. Thank you for continuing to inspire us!!
People don’t realize how hard being a professional musician is! It’s the one profession we’re people always want you to go get a job! The passion that burns for truly gifted musicians is unmatched!!! Keep going! From one musician to another. You got this!
Dear Katie, I am a 14 year old gay clarinet and flute player in East Tennessee. I have watched your channel since before I even started the flute and have always loved your content. I am loving these new blogs and think you are very good at this form of content. I wanted to let you know that being compassionate with yourself is important, but it is okay not to be okay sometimes. The emotions you are feeling and the “rut” you are in are completely normal and valid. It will pass with time. I love you and thank you so much for all the wonderful content you have put out into the world. I wish you the best this Christmas❤️
“I don’t like the way I sound..” *proceeds to pull out the most impressive music i’ve ever heard* All joking aside, musicians are too hard on themselves. Look at how far you’ve came. You’re amazing!
I totally agree with you katie!! When i have rehearsal, i feel like i’m not playing good. I think sometimes i let the people who play better than me get in the way 🥲.
Perfect timing! As a current undergraduate music major, it can get pretty tempting to quit at times even though I’m closer to my goals than I probably could’ve thought a few years ago
it’s so inspiring how you talk about the harder things. i’ve started studying in conservatory in this year, and felt like this a lot but haven’t talked about it, because i’ve always felt like i’m the only one who struggles a lot with practicing, the only one who sometimes lose motivation and get burnt out and if i’m like this, the people around me will judge based on these. this video gave me motivation to keep going, because stopping or giving up won’t make it better, but giving our best in practice time will always count. thank you🤍
I understand your frustration, it can be depressing at times. I once practiced for 6 hours long and was so wired up that it was not even funny. Keep on playing, you are doing great!
Thank you so much for your honest commentary! You are the musician who inspired me to learn the flute. I am 50 and started a year ago. i am so intimidated by the other students. I learned not to practice angry. The flute is my fairy friend.
I play the flute too and I have an audition for state band in about 3 weeks and this video is exactly how I feel ha. I just don't like the music and I don't want to practice it. Thank you for this video !!
Thank you for answering questions about the iPad and turning music, etc. I think that is fascinating! Very cool. Would love to hear any additional info if you want to share. Fun fact, I won the Bach festival with the Badinerie in high school in 1988. That tells you how long it has been popular (I’m sure well before that too). Fun to hear you play it. You are definitely way too hard on yourself, but part of being an excellent musician, I think. You are just fantastic.
Paper copy music for me all the way! I like using my iPad for Etude books though. Also, I totally get the “frustrated with your practicing” slump. I always seem to pick apart my practicing as well and it’s gotten more intense in my first year of college as a music major. But what really helps me is looking back and thinking about how far I’ve come. You’re truly an inspiration and we love you💕💕
As a beginning flutist i absolutely LOVE your channel!!! I really like how honest you are in your vids that and many other things about your channel are very inspirational and i hope one day to be as good as you.
I do think the flute is unique in that depending on so many physical factors it can effect your playing. Chapped lips, stuffy nose, cold, hot etc etc. I have 5 kids and they play violin and piano. And I have seen them have good practice sessions with the flu. Coughing, congestion, headache doesn't effect tone and articulation for them at all. And I feel like even among woodwind and brass the flute is just so sensitive to any little changes in how we are physically on a day. Anyway, I think you sound amazing. Love your videos.
To add to this any tension as well as mood definitely changes my sound. Being in a bad mood can ruin the whole experience. The best playing I've been able to do was because I felt confidence through just feeling positive. I can be quite a pessimist at times too. Today I just worked on tone and harmonics but didn't want to touch studies or repertoire because the mood wasn't there primarily because my tone and harmonics were off today. I figure tomorrow is another day. I'm not a professional flutist though. It's mainly a side hobby but I play a few hours a week, but the perfectionist in me feels the bad days.
i’m very late but this is SO TRUE. i’m a clarinetist and yesterday in a lesson i was talking to my teacher about how seasonal allergies can affect tone quality. sometimes it feels like the way i sound is completely out of my control lmao
hi katie!! i play the recorder and i can definitely relate to everything you’re saying. what i’ve realized now that i can’t play (because i am doing an exchange year right now and am way too busy doing other things) i really miss it and i am so excited to get back home and start playing again. i really hope you’ll find your motivation again and feel better:).
I played Be Still My Soul in my second year of college!! It was such a doozy!! The way you played it when you thought it wasn't smooth enough... omg I could never get that clear sound you have even after months of practice!! You are what we students dream to be!!
Thanks for sharing the information regarding the ipad and music set-up. i'm very impressed with both the Bach and the Rhonda Larson piece. I got to hear her perform that piece at a flute convention years ago. I like how you showed us how you broke it down and then at the end of the video it was seamless!
That was so full of interesting comments about practising, but not only about practising. Particularly useful about using an iPad and Forscore. I'd like to start using my iPad for reading music. Have only been sticking to the paper version so far. Thanks so much for all your delightful videos and vlogmas.
I think we all have these moments when we think we cannot play our instrument anymore like a normal human being. I have it too. It is not good when it happens because we actually sound bad, but what helps is to try and remember why you love flute so much in the first place. Playing with others, play some christmas songs, etc... just whatever what makes you smile :-)
Ipad, forScore, and duo for me! It has all the advantages you described. One time paper might have an advantage is when the piece is only a couple of pages, the score can the laid out across the music stand and the entire piece is available for scanning as you play. This works best on, say, a keyboard with a sufficiently big music stand where the couple of pages will be unobtrusive to the audience.
I'm glad you're vlogging again. I was worried because so many great players quit, e.g. one of your Juilliard compatriots who seems to have quit flute altogether.
This video is so oddly well timed for me. I"m an (amateur) oboe player and I've been playing for over 9 years, but I feel like I sound like someone who has played for 5 years. I recently listened back to a performance I did with my orchestra for a musical a year ago and I hated how my instrument sounded. If I compared it to the hornists or the flutists I felt like my tone was so subpar and unstable. I'm not sure if it is because you are more critical of your own side versus others but I felt incredibly down and started thinking that maybe my whole orchestra thought the same way and that they secretly wanted me to leave or something like that. But knowing that even professionals feel the same way makes me a bit relieved. I will try to practice harder and get through this harder period
I have just started using an iPad Air for reading music. I use it turned sideways to have the music larger. I have lots of previous foot pedal experience doing medical transcription work and also sewing! So it’s not hard to use the foot pedal for me
I won’t say my age but I can say I am under 15, I hope whatever you are going through will be cured. I play the flute plus other instruments and I really look up to you :) I have been through some phases but I try to get over them!
While it was a huge investment, buying an iPad changed my life as a musician! I go to school internationally and I was so tired of lugging my music binders and scores back and forth on my trips home (or even just the walk to school). Having it all in one place and being able to airdrop it to your colleagues has made life sooooo much easier! I was also able to claim it on my taxes which was a nice bonus.
totally feeling this self-flagellating mood and it can be so hard to lift oneself out. i sent out a bat signal to my FB friends asking for funny things and pics of pets. i only do that when i’ve been battling it out on my own for weeks and weeks an still find myself spiralling. call on your circle to help. Bat signals up!
I was in a similar mood a few days ago; I remember staring out the window and realized, not a thing in the world had altered because of my mood. I reminded myself, that all this is just neurons doing what neurons do when I don't get enough sleep, or whatever else may be going on. It's just chemicals in our head. No gimmicks, or tricks. Just keep going; you've got a gig. In a few days you'll be loving your playing again. It's a very human moment.
I love having my sheet music on the iPad for most circumstances, but I also love to have a physical copy, so most of the time I actually have both😅 For an example: I had a fem concerts last week. The first one I used my iPad, so I wouldn’t make a mess in the order of physical copies as the concert was a part of a practice evening. The rest of the week I used physical copies😊
One thing I think I would like about the IPad would be that when I used to play in the church the lighting could be terrible. BTW, I played Carol of the Bells on bells. I loved it!
I play clarinet and sax (and occasionally flute and pic) in a big band that uses iPads, and I far prefer sheet music, because the iPad makes it smaller, and since I'm in my 60s, it's gotten harder to see all the notes, especially in one of those big Benny Goodman solos! But for the easier pieces, I use the iPad, and then I have the paper copies for the pieces that I know I need to see better. Also, some of the page turning issues can really be problematic when you have a DS or DC and have to turn back a page or more, and then jump to the coda. So for those, I prefer the sheet music.
I feel your frustration. I didn't play flute for 2 weeks as I had Covid and didn't want to "infect" my flute plus my breathing wasn't great. In the meantime, my new Miyazawa flute showed up in the middle of that. I finally (tried) to play it yesterday for the first time even though I hadn't played any flute for two weeks. Didn't sound great, but man that high E just popped out and I can get 5 harmonics on low C where on my old flute I could only get 4. I know pros that can get 7 or 8, but I am no pro. Persevere!! I'm guessing you already know about that.
when was the last time you took a good break from practicing? like when you don’t have a ton of concerts and stuff going on it’s at least super helpful for me to take a bit off every couple months or so to just refresh myself
The problem of having a bad practice session is that you cant blame anything but yourself.... I mean... We cant just blame our instruments... Its not their fault.... At least thats what kills me when im making too many mistakes that i normally dont..... I love it when you say we have to support ourselves as much as we support other people.... Thats a very hard task sometimes but we must learn it ❤
Well, I thought of several things you could try on that problem spot, and even though this is a year later, I'm going to share anyway! LOL So, I have found that of all the techniques for working out technical things, the best is to start at the end of the passage and add notes to that after 3 repetitions, so you are working backwards, and do 3 reps with the extra notes added to the front each time, until you make it to the beginning. In case you haven't tried this (I bet you have!), the explanation is that when you know the end better than the beginning, through all that extra repetition, it helps you keep going in the really sticky parts, because you've practiced the end more than the beginning, as we tend to do most of the time. (I hope I explained that so it makes sense.) Then, another thing my voice teacher used to have me do was walk around, or stand on one foot, or rock back and forth, just physical things that could take away tension and distract from something I was doing wrong in my throat. And I JUST thought of this last technique: try playing the same passage on piccolo, or alto flute, or any other instrument than your regular flute, and then go back to it, and it will be so much better! Can you imagine playing it on one of the eBay or Amazon instruments? Yikes! So it will seem so much easier on your Muramatsu!
im a beginner, but i can still relate. sometimes i get so frustrated that i wanna just quit I dont know what it is but everytime i play an Eb it sounds squeaky and not clear... could some please give me some advice if you have any :》
People don't remember about Mozart at the piano today and at yesterday I was in the music class. Because I reading dutch and math today. Tomorrow is a holiday
Bonjour de la Belgique je débute la flûte traversière ho la la vous ête génial j'aimerais joué comme vous j'ai beaucoup de travail à faire hi hi un grand merci vous me faite découvrir à quel point ont peut y faire impressionnant merci je vous suie mais je comprend très difficilement hi hi
It appears to my visual body language reading that you're procrastinating of something that has nothing to do with your music. Here is what I suggest.... find something such as 10 jump n jack, or jog around the block two times... why do I suggest this.... it's to find something that pumps your heart elevated while mentally the activity, like jogging, essentially resets the "block" that has you procrastinating in the form of what's happening here by way of self mental beating.... notice how it's you putting yourself down and how that is only known by you in the form of thinking...and not something one would normally be stating out loud.... This is why I say it's not the music at all and why I suggest go find something that gets the blood pumping, like a quick jog.... cause it's a great way to reset that "block" that's floating around the mind... Anyhow, just thought I'm give my observation as one that was born with a serious hearing loss...
I find when I count the notes and go real slow, paying attention to possible alternate fingerings for a particular passage, that the fingering will work itself out. Something you should do with your current 'boyfriend'.

Well spoken!
Why did we need to know you’re gay?
Great comment, but I couldn't help myself from laughing when I read, "gay clarinet" I just imagined a LITTERAL gay clarinet! 💀
Same, though I am a 12 year old gay flute player in east tennessee aswell!
@@ilovedin0saurs I hate this state, can’t wait to get out
“I don’t like the way I sound..” *proceeds to pull out the most impressive music i’ve ever heard*

That part of Be Still My Soul is the part I get stuck on too. When it goes to 5-lets

I appreciate hear about your struggles -- it helps me feel a little bit better about mine as an adult learner. Happy Holidays to you!
I’m crying right now! Thank you Katie! You are a gift to the musical community❤❤❤
You're literally my inspiration, every time I feel like giving up I just watch u n u motivate me♥️ thank youuuuuuuuuuu

As a beginning flutist i absolutely LOVE your channel!!! I really like how honest you are in your vids that and many other things about your channel are very inspirational and i hope one day to be as good as you.
I love these blogs! Please keep doing them 😚
We all get stuck in a rut and one has to get through it and cheer up a bit. It is not easy, and time will help.
so inspiring! merry christmas ❤🎄and happy holidays!!!!

Meditation apps have helped me during times like these to quiet any internal chatter and become more centered. You sound beautiful. good luck.

Thanks so much for the tip about forScore. I've downloaded it to my (Samsung Android) tablet.
So cool watching your practice,,, and your level head,,, thanks for the key sharing!,, hope you can rest! Ha ❤
I think you sound wonderful! Really enjoyed the video 🙂
me and you both have concerts on monday! i play the bassoon.
On a scale from 1-10 how much do you like concertino chaminade

What dimension is your ipad? Is it the same size as a normal score page?
Amazing !! 💥.. I’m a contemporary guitar player… but you read to perform with such what seems to be a difficult instrument.. wow!!
Wow! 💥
I play clarinet and sax (and occasionally flute and pic) in a big band that uses iPads, and I far prefer sheet music, because the iPad makes it smaller, and since I'm in my 60s, it's gotten harder to see all the notes, especially in one of those big Benny Goodman solos!

when was the last time you took a good break from practicing?
like when you don’t have a ton of concerts and stuff going on
it’s at least super helpful for me to take a bit off every couple months or so to just refresh myself
The problem of having a bad practice session is that you cant blame anything but yourself.... I mean... We cant just blame our instruments... Its not their fault....
At least thats what kills me when im making too many mistakes that i normally dont.....
I love it when you say we have to support ourselves as much as we support other people.... Thats a very hard task sometimes but we must learn it ❤
All the other woodwinds can always say that they got a bad batch of reeds when they are not sounding well. You don’t have that luxury.
Well, I thought of several things you could try on that problem spot, and even though this is a year later, I'm going to share anyway! LOL So, I have found that of all the techniques for working out technical things, the best is to start at the end of the passage and add notes to that after 3 repetitions, so you are working backwards, and do 3 reps with the extra notes added to the front each time, until you make it to the beginning. In case you haven't tried this (I bet you have!), the explanation is that when you know the end better than the beginning, through all that extra repetition, it helps you keep going in the really sticky parts, because you've practiced the end more than the beginning, as we tend to do most of the time.

And I JUST thought of this last technique: try playing the same passage on piccolo, or alto flute, or any other instrument than your regular flute, and then go back to it, and it will be so much better! Can you imagine playing it on one of the eBay or Amazon instruments? Yikes! So it will seem so much easier on your Muramatsu!
🤩Nice work
That is a high dollar flute. Brannen Brothers? Nice finger position.
im a beginner, but i can still relate. sometimes i get so frustrated that i wanna just quit
I dont know what it is but everytime i play an Eb it sounds squeaky and not clear...
could some please give me some advice if you have any :》
you probably get this a lot, but what USB mic do you have?
What flute is that? I see point arm key and other things….
People don't remember about Mozart at the piano today and at yesterday I was in the music class. Because I reading dutch and math today. Tomorrow is a holiday

I normally use jotnot !
Love from kidderpore
I’m sorry you have the winter blahs. Try to do something to get out of your head ❤
It appears to my visual body language reading that you're procrastinating of something that has nothing to do with your music. Here is what I suggest.... find something such as 10 jump n jack, or jog around the block two times... why do I suggest this.... it's to find something that pumps your heart elevated while mentally the activity, like jogging, essentially resets the "block" that has you procrastinating in the form of what's happening here by way of self mental beating.... notice how it's you putting yourself down and how that is only known by you in the form of thinking...and not something one would normally be stating out loud.... This is why I say it's not the music at all and why I suggest go find something that gets the blood pumping, like a quick jog.... cause it's a great way to reset that "block" that's floating around the mind... Anyhow, just thought I'm give my observation as one that was born with a serious hearing loss...
Hi jaan
I find when I count the notes and go real slow, paying attention to possible alternate fingerings for a particular passage, that the fingering will work itself out. Something you should do with your current 'boyfriend'.
