About me

edit

I am a senior in high school enrolled in a program called running start at my local community college. Some of my hobbies include playing the flute, being in my high school marching band, and soccer. Playing an instrument brings many benefits for people of all ages.[1]

My Wikipedia interests

If I continue working on content here, I will be adding more interests in the future.

Article Evaluation

edit

Playing the flute for almost 7 years now has brought me to do some research on very well known and talented flautists. I've watched performances of Emmanuel Pahud for about two years and I wanted to learn more about him. I visited the Emmanuel Pahud article on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: the structure of the article, if it is up to date, and the citations.

Structure

edit

This article talks about a lot of different topics relevant to Pahud's life. One topic I thought was under-represented was his personal life or information about his family. Some musicians, whether they come from parents or grandparents that were musicians or not, choose to introduce music to their kids to see if they like it. I would've liked to read about what his kid's interests are.

A lot of the citations on this article seem to date back to 2008-2012, one could say that is still recent but considering he is still actively playing and performing to this day means it could use some updates. Some updates would be helpful to see what he is doing now and how his career has changed over the years.

Citations

edit

There are many citations and sources on this article that are very relevant to each topic. However, some of the links are dead and say "page does not exist". It would be helpful if all of these links had an existing page. One of the dead links is "Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival" which is where Emmanuel Pahud performed for the first time.

Conclusion

edit

Overall, I liked this article and thought it gave some very detailed information about Emmanuel Pahud and his career. One thing I would've liked a source on is the section about his personal life because there was very little information about that and there was nothing to back it up to know if it was true or not.
