April 16, 200917 yr I graduated with a Bachelors in Music Education, so technically, I can play all instruments (or enough to teach them to beginners) but my principal instruments are Horn, Trumpet, Flute, Piano, and Voice. Right now, I teach private horn lessons and play in various brass groups/orchestras. :stunned: I'm getting my bachelor's in a few years in music ed myself! And you teach horn lessons!? You are my hero now. xD
April 21, 200917 yr technically I can also play didgeridoo...where's that on the list? :rolleyes: AH! How could I forget that instrument! My mother has one and gave me lessons to play it! :lol: That's great fun. :lol::lol::lol:
April 21, 200917 yr AH! How could I forget that instrument! My mother has one and gave me lessons to play it! :lol: That's great fun. :lol::lol::lol: I learned in Kindergarten. We had to pick a country and do a project about it, so I chose Australia. I learned all about ho9w didgeridoos are played, and I even got help making a model one and playing what I could with it.
April 21, 200917 yr I'm from Australia! :) I played piano for the program i'm doing! i still play every now and then :D
April 21, 200917 yr i play the guitar.. ive been playing for 6yrs.. any interesting tabs? Six years of playing and still on tabs? :stunned:
April 21, 200917 yr Six years of playing and still on tabs? :stunned: Some never learn to read sheet music. Some learn strictly from tabs. Plus even if you can read sheet music tabs are free and easier than figuring out by ear.
April 22, 200917 yr Can somebody play the mandolin? I can play it a bit...haven't had many chances but I am decent.
April 22, 200917 yr Some never learn to read sheet music. Some learn strictly from tabs. Plus even if you can read sheet music tabs are free and easier than figuring out by ear. Yes, but when the time comes when there are NO tabs for the song you wan't to play.. :\
April 22, 200917 yr Oh. How is it? It's okay. Similar to guitar and any other plucked string instrument. Has a great fun sound too. Takes a while to tune what with all the strings.
April 24, 200917 yr I play the flute for band, but thats pretty much it. I really wanna learn how to play guitar, though.

Has it been hard to get a secure career after getting your diploma ?
April 25, 200917 yr I'm hoping to get into performance next year (university), but music education is also another choice. Has it been hard to get a secure career after getting your diploma ? Well, I think it just depends where you live. I live in an area where there are not a lot of big schools, mostly small towns with a few bigger towns. So...the field is competitive, but if you're in an area where there are lot of towns and cities around, then I bet not. I'm not actually teaching in the public schools right now, though. I opted to stay home with my kids and raise them, so I mostly do performing and private lessons. I like it better that way because I love to perform.

Yea, I live in a big city with many schools (public and private, both in French and English) and we've been warned that it's very hard to get a permanent job, so I was just wondering how it was for you. :)

Sounds like you live in a bustling metropolis! As for getting and keeping the job.....just be on top of your game and then be confident in the interview. If you present yourself as the "best" candidate, then your potential employeers will start to view you that way! Good luck!
