During the past Christmas season 2023, I had a concert in the afternoon with an orchestra. And then that night a band that I was in was having a concert. That morning one of the girls said she could not play her flute in the concert because her dad had died. So I was asked to step in. I was not playing that cycle so I actually had to sight read the concert. The first thing I did was look through and see what pieces I already had played before and then I took the ones that were left and looked through them quickly I had about 45 minutes before the concert and just marked out the spots that I knew there was no way I could play in the concert and then I worked on the hard spots of the ones that I could play and I ended up playing I would guess 95% of the concert. It was a real challenge. But I made a point of just being really into each piece by itself and totally focusing on dynamics especially and then articulation. I love these videos where you go in depth with your practicing techniques. They have helped me so much.
I am brand new to fluting, sort of…the last time I played was in 5th grade 😂, but i wasn’t bad IMO. I was at a pawn shop looking for a 12 string guitar when I came across what I thought was a nice flute (silver plated) for $45. It is in the shop now getting a play ready look over and adjustments. I plan on taking lessons when it is ready and am watching as many videos as I can to get myself prepared. You have a lot of great tips and I subscribed to your channel! Thank You for your help on my new journey.

I was lacking practice motivation, thank you for helping me through it.❤❤
Wow! I love your sound. It’s super clear and bright!
I always wonder how people who are really good sound when they practice. Thank you for this behind the scenes.
it's come full circle, the pink fits for Valentine's Day!
Thank you for such an informative vlog. Your sound is so rich.. ❤
Your vlogs are so inspiring. I'm in a bit of a music rut right now (although I'm just a hobbyist) and your tips really help.

Hi Katie
You’re sounding better than ever.
I can’t use a “time crunch” as an excuse to for messing something up!
So. Much. Pink! 😂 Also, thank you for the tips! I tend to practice music at performance tempo right away
I did have to learn the 3rd movement of Mozart in G in 30 minutes. Luckily I realized it was a lot easier than the first movement.
I haven’t even watched this video yet, but I bet that it will help me!!!❤❤❤
I don’t even play flute and I love your vlogs
