"A few impressions about the 7th Kobe International Flute Competition When I received the invitation for the Kobe International Flute Competition in September 2008, I was really happy and proud to be able to participate at this famous flute competition. Shortly afterwards I checked the other participants on the Internet and when I saw that so many already well-known and successful flutists were going to participate too I was already looking forward to going to Japan. I was really curious to compete with these flutists and to see how far I would get with my playing. At the competition the circumstances for us were perfect. The competition was really well- organized: the hall was great, there were excellent juries, there were pianists who really supported us and there were many good competitors. Altogether I really enjoyed every single round and I always had fun while playing. That I finally won the 1st Prize at the competition was of course the highlight of my time in Japan and I am incredibly happy!!! This victory is for me a big confirmation that the way I chose is the right way and it´s also a big motivation for me to continue this way."
Message for Pearl Flute; I was told that the jury was particularly impressed by my sound and that I was advised to keep my flute! I have been playing my Pearl Flute for about four years and I am still very, very happy and I think that this flute is still perfect for me."
