Musicians

[Mhera]

Mallets?

[Banya]

Instruments with keys played with mallets, not counting kettle drums.  Xylophone, Vibraphone, Glockenspiel, and my favourite, Marimba. 

[Hickory]

My voice.

I'm actually a horrible singer.

[Skyblade]

Voice should be an option Anyway, I doubt you're bad, Sagey!! You're probably better than you think.


So, how are your musical lives?

[The Mask]

Not too busy, yet. Although I may be playing the Titanic song in assembly. I get $10 if I do

Oops, I replied to what I thought was a recent post. Sorry if I confused anyone for the brief time it was up. xP

I should probably start playing more piano.  I can't really play flute anymore for now because it's too loud for my apartment and I don't want to bother the neighbors.  I did, however, bring my keyboard with me, so I can still play piano.  

I was last working on this before I moved out of my parents' house - I can get the hands individually, but together is hard.  I don't think I've really played it since, so I'm probably a bit rusty.

I am doing my Grade 6 Piano and my Grade 4 Clarinet!!!

[Luftwaffles]

I play just a little acoustic guitar. I saved a lot for my first proper instrument (I used to borrow one and that was really annoying) but this is proving to be a lot harder than I thought it would be (plus, I have been told that being left handed is a disadvantage... although I don't know if this is true or not).

I'm a violinist, and I'm currently doing grade 5. Here in Australia, we have 8 grades (for violin at least). I play in a youth string ensemble, and do various group stuff at school. I'm going to be playing with an ensemble for a school play, which I'm pretty happy about.

[The Mask]

Hey, you live in Australia too? Cool

[Skyblade]

Do you guys play in an ensemble?

Right now, I'm in my school ensemble... the music program in my district is pretty small, so our band is actually combined with the junior high. Even though we play easy music, I enjoy playing with this group a lot! It is a small environment, but I'm glad we have something. My band director does very well with what she has, which honestly isn't as much as in other schools. Still, she does her best to give everyone the opportunities he or she deserves. I'm really glad we have her and this band

I'm competing too. It's this competition in which one prepares a solo for a judge. What's up with your musical lives?

[Hickory]

I am. My favorite piece that we're playing is a collection of songs from Wicked.]!!!!! I'm so excited!

[Skyblade]

Sounds neat! So you sing and you play an instrument?

[Wylder Treejumper]

YEAH! My band went to an MPMEA band festival and got a I! (We were only 1 point away from a I+ ) Anyways, we were the best Symphonic Band in my band teacher's probably 30 years of teaching! I am so excited!

[Gonff the Mousethief]

Well, I finished two years doing the trumpet, and I am now moving to the violin. I only know the very basics, but I'm learning. I really hope I can end up playing Concerning Hobbits  .
