About this user

My name is Jeanie Flowers. I am a guitar player/singer/songwriter, but mostly these days I'm a mom. Most of what you will see on my channel is video of my daughter Rachel, who is a fabulous musician.

My son Vaughan has begun creating videos of his own, of a different type. You can see his videos at http://www.youtube.com/vaughanflowers - he's an awesome kid and pretty silly!

We are having a great time recording these videos. Thank you all for watching them and for your comments. We read them ALL and really enjoy hearing your feedback. I would love to be able to respond to all your comments and inquiries, but it simply is not possible. If you send a personal message I will try to send a reply, but I make no promises.

Perhaps it would help to give you some background here:

Rachel is a 17 year old high school student. She has played the piano since she was 2 years old, and has studied music since she was 4. She is musically literate, which is to say that she does read braille music (yes, she is totally blind - forgot to mention that). All of the classical flute pieces she plays were learned by reading the music. On the other hand, all of the keyboard pieces posted here are played by ear - Rachel has perfect pitch.

We have received a number of requests for transcripts of the music, the Keith Emerson pieces in particular. We have no transcripts. We have also received requests for lessons. Rachel does not give lessons. Between school (band, English, Home Ec., History, Biology - just like any other 17 year old), flute lessons, flute choir rehearsals, piano lessons, and now rehearsals (they used to be jams - now they are rehearsals) with her jazz trio, I can't even imagine when she would give lessons!

If you care to know more about Rachel, you can go to http://www.myspace.com/rachelflowersmusic

She also has a fan page on facebook that we would love for you to "like" - just log in to facebook and search for "Long Live Rachel Flowers" and that should take you right to it. This page was created for her by a fan/friend. I have been known to drop in and answer questions there.

I hope this helps, and please continue to drop in on us! We plan to post new videos frequently.

Hope you enjoy hearing the music half as much as Rachel enjoys playing it!
