Musical Skills

[jnfs2014]

Trombone for life. Actually, for 2 years.

[Silly_Penguin]

I play euphonium, piano, and sing, and am taking band (and marching band in fall, although i would still take it even if it weren't required for reg. band since i love it) choir, and jazz band (plus taking ap music theory).
Euphonium is by far my favorite instrument, to me it's easiest and seems the most natural in a way, dunno, i just love it. Hopefully i can make a carrier of it ^^.  I like to sing in choir and stuff, and i've done that since elementary school as well as euph. Piano i've only been learning for about 2-3 years or so, but it's fun. I'm not that good at it, but i do enjoy it.

Uhh... I can play a LITTLE bit of piano (does the Doogie Howser M.D. Theme count...?)

Oh yeah, I can sing. Well, I could sing, but my voice is being stupid right now. I should be able to sing well again in a few months. Hopefully. But anyway, I like to sing. I think I'm good (when my voice isn't stupid).

I have an acoustic and an electric guitar, but I can't really play them that well. D: Having small hands does not help with playing musical instruments.

[Nosferatu]

I play guitar.
I've been playing for more than 1 year.

Used to play the piano up until this year.

Played since I was probably 3 or 5, can't remember.  Mostly because my parents wanted me to, was going to quit in the 8th grade, but then I started winning.  Won the grade 6 medal in grade 9, won the grade 7 medal in grade 10 along with the duet medal (iirc), won the duet medal in grade 11, came second place for the medal for grade 8 in grade 11, won two scholarships in grade 12, and I think I scored another medal in there somewhere as well.  the scholarships weren't worth much, one for 100, another for 100 but split 8 intercourse ing ways :\

I ended up being a juggernaut in SE Manitoba piano, but I left the southeast this year.  Never won the trophy, came in second place every time I got a medal.

intercourse ing useless.

Every year except the last I was second place to a guy a year younger than me (an awesome guy who obviously put in more effort than me but liked the music less, it just came to me naturally and I liked it).  Every single year except the last, in which I didn't win the trophy because it usually goes to a grade 10 instead of a grade 9.

Always second fiddle.

That's mah life.

oh, I also played Jazz piano for the jazz band in grades 11 and 12 for our jazz band of 9 :\

and I played trumpet for our regular band in grades 7 8 and 9 and for our jazz band in grades 8 and 9, both years of which we won awards for.

[Nayrman]

I've known how to play piano since the 2nd grade, but I quit in high school (lack of interest).
I had talent though, I just didn't care for it after a while.
I was also a percussionist in high school for the band and marching band. I was one of the better players, only because I had a lot of music experience before.

[Pachuri]

I've been making music since I was about 2 years old.

Yo that's nothing man. I'VE BEEN MAKING MUSIC BEFORE I WAS EVEN BORN

[Triforceman22]

vocalist. :)

[Zovistograt]

I make experimental electronic music, mainly noizecore and speedcore lately.

I just made a song that gets up to 800 BPM and has samples of Tom Green flipping out over a loon and James Joyce reading a part of Finnegans Wake in reverse.

I sing, it's just not very good. (;_;)
Honestly, I wish I could sing.

I played the piano for a few years when I was about 7 - 10 years old, but I had terrible teachers who loved to scream at me. I couldn't take it after a few years, so I quit piano.

I also played guitar for about 3 years, but I was never very good unfortunately, so I dropped that in 8th grade.

Now, I'm regretting that I can't play any musical instrument, but I'd love to take up piano again.

Some tips for singing I learned from my vocal coach:

To sing well, you have to breath properly. Always stand up straight, helps with the lungs. Your voice is like a muscle, you have to strengthen it. You can improve your voice fast if you have a vocal coach, but if not, it could take years D:

And for gods sake, don't strain your voice, or you could not be singing for a while...

I've been playing the violin for most of my life so far, and I've been wanting to pick up guitar for a some time, but never get around to it. (I even bought a guitar, but it just sits there :()
