You Tube!!

In our previous class we had talked about you tube and uploading our videos on you tube.  This is my very first video that I have posted on you tube!! I always thought you tube was a fun and interesting website but I never really took advantage of you tube till this semester.  

When I started my lessons this semester with my flute professor we had started working on the e minor Bach Sonata.  My professor liked my interpretation and said just for fun lets see what Jean-Pierre Rampal does, so I just assumed we were going to listen to the cd.  The next thing I know he is pulling out his itouch and he clicks the you tube button and we are watching Rampal play Bach on you tube. I thought oh my gosh here is Rampal and I am watching him play this. It can't get any better. Listening to him play is one thing but watching him play was amazing!  We finished that and he said lets see what Julius Baker does and he scrolls down and there is Julius Baker playing Bach on you tube.  After that he told me he has hundreds of videos on his itouch from you tube. From that lesson on I have realized how much I can take advantage of you tube and listen to theses great flutist play the piece I am working on, and it won't coast me anything!!

I feel you tube is a great resource for students.  There are endless amount of videos that can be found which is a wonderful thing for poor students!  I am glad we got an assignment to post our videos because I am not sure if I really would have ever posted something and after searching through you tube I found some pretty cool videos.
