I'm not very good though, I'm still in school so I haven't had many years. Technically we were supposed to learn recorder and ukelele in music class, but I don't think anyone paid attention. Also, is it just me, or are viola people and bass people besties? Yeah, I get along more with the basses than the other instruments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the pieces I have for my senior concert it has the most enjoyable tuba part. A lot of the other say it's too easy, but we have so far to go with the artistry. It's a little frustrating because they don't want to play it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhyEverNot_8 he/him Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Orion and the Scorpion sounds really good! Have y’all heard Mechanisms or Surge though? I loved playing those! I’ll try to find the Spotify recordings tomorrow and send the links. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowed they/them Posted July 31 Author Report Share Posted July 31 (edited) hii change of topic but does anyone else here do music theory? i get to harmonise bach-style chorales every week now and it breaks my brain slightly. like yes, i get it, consecutive 5ths and octaves are bad, 3rds and 6ths are good. i can understand how that makes it sound better. but who decided you’re only allowed to double a minor 3rd, not a major one? or that you shouldn’t use chord iii unless it’s in a circle of 5ths progression? or that 7ths need to be prepared as well as resolved, in the same voice??? who made those rules??? yes i know it was bach, like one of the most incredible composers and geniuses but still i’m allowed to complain because harmonising makes me do thinking and thinking is hard lol Spoiler this is mainly just to summon other classical music theory nerds because if you know what the heck i’m on about then you’re officially a theory nerd edit: oh also, on my concert band course there’s someone with a giant doomslug plushie that they take everywhere and i really want to go talk to them because omg doomsluggg but *social anxiety* lol Edited July 31 by Shadowed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
