Music

i studied it at GCSE and now i'm studying it at A level. it's hard! theory is tricky. i play flute, double bass and sing, and a tiny tiny bit of piano. any other musicians hiding out somewhere?

***Foreword by Ponder***

this has been moved from the "the creative forum" topic to make a new topic all about music...please, your opinions!

what kind of music? how? when? why? how? and indeed who.
regards, Ponder

i play the trombone. i take lessons in my free time and used to be in an ensemble, but it got closed and i also sometimes played in an orchestra, but didn't like it there. i'm not very good, but i enjoy it a lot.

Re: Music

Very Happy the trombone looks hard to play, but as with all bass instrumets, is very funky. i only have fairly bad orchestras at the moment Sad there are too many of them

I sing bit - in school choirs and the odd casual group, nothing serious. But most of all I play flute: I've just made it through grade 8, and as an added bonus I've been able to go to a new county flute choir, which is a great relief, since most of the music we play in the school orchestra is frankly nonsense... typically things like "Elton John's Greatest Hits". I cant tell you how relieved I was to play Dance of the Blessed Spirits in an ensemble after living with the school stuff for so long Wink

Re: Music

Laughing but i have to say ugh, Dance of the Blessed Spirits. It's a nice tune, but i fell ill before being able to take my grade 5 flute, so i had to practice it a whole extra term, and then i used it for my solo performance in GCSE so I have played that tune soooo often! And grade 8 flute! wow, i'm aiming to take grade 8 in a years time come spring/summer. I'm taking grade 7 flute this spring Puzzled

Good luck - I found that between 7 and 8 was the biggest jump, but that may well have been largely because I changed from the local county exams to Associated Board...

Re: Music

we're discussing instrument grades which is probably the most stressful thing about music. Have you ever taken a grade in a musical instrument?

Nicely put - I try to be similarly broad, but perhaps couldn't go as far as Slayer...

I play the clarinet (started learning 14 years ago) but not that much recently. I used to play in an orchestra before I began studying at the university. (Can't attend to rehearsal since then.) I also had some lessons on the saxophone, which really is quite similar, so I count it as one instrument.
I also play some kind of medieval bagpipe sometimes. (The pipe itself is not medieval, though.)

Re: Music

FLORIS are you sure? I thought Kirk Hammet was their only guitarist. Cliff Burton, the megadeth guy, Jason Newstead and Trijulcio or whatever are all basists.


--

That ain't no English I ever dun heard!


Re: Music

same thing,and kirk is more of a singer than a guitarist for the band,even though he plays pretty well.

i saw METALLICA live in cape town last year!!

awesome stuff,we had a 12 hour music marathon concert and metallica came on last,played for 2 and a half hours,was awesome.

also had bands like seether playing,no others are worth mentioning,except for FAT BOY SLIM

To be honest, tho, Velvet Revolver are closer to the original GnR than the new GnR are (both in lineup and in quality of music).
