Musicians

[Jack the Quick]

Glad to hear it.

I've been playing the violin for about six and a half years. I have fun fiddling with the piano too but I don't really play it properly.

[Jarky Thistlebrush]

VIIOOOOLIIN!

[shisteer of nothing much]

Yes, violin.

Seems to me this thread, called musicians, has a bone to pick with vocalists!  Sure we can only kind of read music, and sure we have trouble counting past four, but we're musicians dang it!

You have a point. Vocalists aren't appreciated here.

Wait... Is that a 'we'?! CHASE 'IM OFF!!!

[Kade Rivok]

No, no, I'm... I'm a NICE singer.  I do the good music!

[Jarky Thistlebrush]

Alright, alright. As long as you have a violinist accompany you whenever you sing.

[Kade Rivok]

Hahaha, hey, if you're offering then I'll take you up on it.  You'll have to play REALLY loud though for me to hear you from, er, here.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Meh. Violins are great but they can't do everything. I sing too and it's seldom accompanied by a violin so you should be fine.
What sort of songs do you like singing?

[Kade Rivok]

Hahaha, well, I'm classically trained, so I tend towards music that let's me put that training to use (with a lot of modern stuff, if you belt out like an opera singer it'll sound weird, dontcha know).  I still do some solo work, but nowadays I mainly do choir stuff and am a paid singer at the church I attend.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Cool! I like singing opera too. (though I'm not particularly good at it) What's your favourite song?

[Kade Rivok]

That's a toughie, there's a bunch of them that I like.  O Sole Mio is always a favorite, Amor Ti Vieta is short and sweet, the Bach Gounod version of Ave Maria is really nice too, as is Go Lovely Rose, and Total Eclipse is pretty cool.

We have THE WORLD'S VERY BEST Opera for kids... in English! CD. I can sing some of them but I probably know Figaro and Non piu andrai best, though my favourite is probably Ride of the Valkyries.
