Hey! Can't believe I didn't see this society before haha...or maybe I did XD
Anyways I'm a musician, play quite a few instruments to a high standard with my strongest instruments probably being Piano, The Voice & Trombone.
I play pretty much all genres since I love pretty much all genres haha :smile:

That's cool, what type of things do you play???


any really, one's miss gives us and then one's my friends chooses we play in a group most of the time

And then we also perform in assembly which is a little scary but fun also
gained more confidence out of it and now I want to do performances :biggrin:

A Trombonist! Hallelujah! I was beginning to think they were an endangered species. Always the hardest section to fill in a big band or concert band, let alone finding soloists. Are you in much demand? What kind of stuff do you play?
Any serious recorder players here? I also play violin, oboe (although I haven't played it recently) and piano (not very well, my main one's are violin and recorder) :smile:

Hahaha! Nope we're just in long term hibernation :lol:
Yeah it really is though in my school not so much, there's quite a few of us. Oh yeah soloists are definitely hard to find! 'Much demand'??? As in am I often being asked to play??? Um..not really in school and at a music school where I started learning I sometimes play. I'm classically trained but started playing jazz a few years ago :smile: I'm trying to expand because I'm love pretty much every genre of music so to be able to play as many genres as possible would be great haha.

I play the flute, viola and piano. Attached is a pic of my lovely viola, Hector, who was made in 1895 in Germany! :biggrin:


I've named my violin too! She's called Ffion, and was also made in Germany in 1895.

Named both the cellos I've had. The one I had in primary was called bubbles and my current one is called T.

I used to play the flute but mine was rented from the music academy and I had to give it back once I quit flute lessons in there :frown: Switched to electric guitar but I guess I can still belong to this society 'cause I play classical guitar and a bit of piano, too

hey i am a violinist and flutist, just sat both at grade 8 a few weeks ago, still waiting for results. I have played violin for 8 years and flute for 4 years and my favourite genres to play are classical and baroque and in particular Bach. Currently giving flute a break as I want to focus on violin and learn the full bach e major concerto (played 3rd movement in grade 8).

Well that was absolutely awesome! It like showcases all the possibilities of the electric guitar as a "classical" instrument (the ability to get many different sounds, wide range of available octaves, the easiness of playing fast etc.) while keeping it totally beautiful. Now I'm impressed. And now I feel like a bad guitarist too :biggrin: Thanks for showing me this!
