just out of curiosity, if you're a classically trained musician, pop in and say hello ;) and the basics, what you play, how long, etc. :cool:

What do you exactly mean?

as in taking lessons for an instrument, etc. ;) just curious :)

piano for about 5 years, but i wouldn't call myself classically trained by any stretch of the imagination

Uh, I played piano for 4 years, but I quit when I was 11... and I've had drum lessons for a little over a year...

 

the drum lessons don't help much though--even my teacher admitted he doesn't really need to teach me much during my lessons anymore, haha.

Piano Players

 

Began private piano lessons at 8 years old. Venturing from clasical to pop over the years. Studied harmony at college, played flute in the wind ensemble. Written songs with best friend RONA, a talented singer still singing today. Developed me own style, Me Mummie says I sound like Coldplay piano, its just a coincidence however and I'm Open to sharing whatever you like.

Im not a classically trained musician, but i can sing! :) I used to have lessons, but i didnt like the way the teacher taught me so i quit. She tried to make me sound like a choir girl which really bugged me. A lot of people say i could be 'famous', but i couldnt think of anything i'd want less! :/

It's weird coz i never actually admit that i can sing, if people ask me i say 'not really', but if you cant say what you are talented at without sounding big headed....well thats just silly i guess! So here i am saying that Yes i can sing and im proud! :lol:

grd 7 cello + clarinet. I think you might just count that as classical! I taught myself sax and keyboard, and im workin on guitar. Classical training isnt necessary, but it can be a great help.

^ :o Wow!!! coool!

Saxofon lessons for 3 years....now music club since 6 years.....wow I think I play since 9 years! :o

 

I taught myself:Keyboard (piano),Guitar a bit and Ukulele...

"wow I think I play since 9 years!"

 

lol. i know. I woke up one morning and realised id been playing the cello for more than half my life. crazy

y'all been playing for a while. :P

 

I'm just starting on most of the stuff I play...

I'm 15 and I've played piano for about 8 years so far, and the violin for 5. I especially love playing Coldplay songs on the piano :-D.

aww a fellow violinist! haha that's awesome ;)

 

and my_star_is_fading, i wish i played the cello, the one instrument i did wish i played! that's awesome :cool:

yeh well its better than the violin. scum of the orchestra! almost as bad as those damn oboes!! kill em!!! kill em all I say!!!!!! :stunned:

 

ahem :rolleyes:

 

I prefer clarinet. your further away from the conductor, which reduces your chances of being gutted by his baton.

:stunned: :stunned: :stunned:

 

you're just jealous that... that... that... we get all the attention in the orchestra :rolleyes:

 

:cool:

you're just jealous that... that... that... we get all the attention in the orchestra

 

Yeh, cos you always play out of tune :P . Why do we tune to oboes anyway? should be clarinets. (not that im biased)

 

But I think we all have to agree: the best instrument in the orchestra is the bass trombone. Its only just legal. they tried to get it banned at the geneva convention, but to no avail.

Shizle I play

 

Hi everyone... New member here.

 

I've been classically trained on piano (Royal Conservatory) to level 8. I stopped last year and switched to a teacher that could teach me better so that I ad-lib my solos, fine-tune my ear, and accompany singers in a band.

 

I now play all different types of music for a select few good singers and musicians from my high-school, and we have lots of fun.

 

I've also played clarinet for 6 years, but have stopped that this year as I have switched to drums and other percussion in the concert band. I picked that up last year.

 

The The last instrument I play is guitar, which I picked up 3 years ago.

 

Now my ambition is to pick up a bass, and start a one man band.... but not really, It's just good to know how to play every instrument.

hey brian welcome to the board ;)

 

the way you learned reminds me very much of my musical background. i went to the equivalent australian version (sydney conservatorium) and am currently doing masters for violin, and i have played piano for 6 years or so, but then switched to drums aswell! and then picked up guitar last about 3 years ago aswell :lol: it reminds me VERY much of your pattern of musical training. i've also started on my friends bass lately which makes it even scarier comparing everything to you! :lol:

i once went to the royal school of music for the day, but the bastards almost threw me out when i played jazz. I shouldv played some iron maiden or something: that wouldve shaken them up. :D

y'all been playing for a while. :P

ive been goin for about 8 months.

i was classicly trained for piano for 6 years, and i know how to play oboe and clarinet..and bass is my secret wish which i hope to acomplish some day (guess why)
