My cousin started teaching me guitar and apparently I was picking it up rather quickly. But he got a job and so the lessons stopped because he didn't have any spare time. I lost my interest in the guitar but I still want to play. I just find it too boring to learn by myself.
[QUOTE="PannicAtack"]Wow. Sweet. More than I ever got. Just four years in high school band and one and a half years in high school choir.t3hrubikscube
It's good that you got some, at least. :) I was in band and orchestra in elementary school and all of junior high and high school. I'm hoping to continue in college, starting next semester. :) I'm very partial to band.Oh, yeah... elementary and high school. Forgot about that. Man, I'm feeling dumber and dumber lately.
I wouldn't say I'm naturally talented, but I'd consider myself handy at an instrument if I practised regularly. I also have a decent singing voice when my throat is cleared perfectly.
Nope, but I have a vast interest in music, and I can play a few instruments, piano being my main. Even though I'm not really good right now, I wish to improve as a pianist and a musician over the next 2 or 3 years, and then study music in a university later.
Not at all. Like the TC, I can't explain why I like some artists and songs more than others, and I can't tell if someone is a good/talented musician or not.All I can judge music by is my feeling towards the sound it creates.
I'd say so. I record some of my own songs. I'm on my own ipod 8) lol. I've been playing guitar for about two years and it's seriously helped me with my ear, meaning being able to break down music I hear and understand what makes it so satisfying or learning to create my own songs. I'd definitely recommend anyone to learn to play an instrument. :)
[QUOTE="t3hrubikscube"]I can play some instruments, I can read music in three clefs (treble, alto, bass), I'm alright with music terms, etc. I'm not particularly talented, but I'm skilled.Eww alto clef, I'm terrible at reading alto clef >:
Been playing bass and guitar for seven years now, but I'm much better at bass-- Slap, jazz, technical, harmonic stuff and whatever else (influences include Wooten and Manring). Also, I occasionally fill in as a drummer for my friends band, but it doesn't require me to be Danny Carey-- Just gotta keep the beat. I don't even own a drumset, but ironically enough rock band has improved my skills as a real drummer.. >.>
"Freek has always displayed a keen dedication to music in general. His sense of time and feel stems from his ability to look at the "bigger picture", beyond his instrument (bass). Playing and learning songs on the acoustic/electric guitar has also given him a broad insight into the roles played by instrumentalists. Freek has always (will always) be a pleasure to teach and wherever he focuses his efforts success is sure to follow."
My progress report from my bass teacher. Also he told me I'm his only constant bass student, most just quit after a month or so and the rest of his students all learn electric guitar, as opposed to me who he has been teaching bass education to for close to three years now.
Well, I'm somewhat musically talented. I play video game songs (as well as some anime) on the piano. Most of the songs are from Zelda (~8 songs) , Final Fantasy VII (2 songs), Final Fantasy X (~5 songs), and Kingdom Hearts I and II (~4 songs). I'm also currently learning a Chrono Trigger song.
I wouldn't say talented, but I do know a bit about music. I've been playing the guitar and piano for almost a decade now, drums during high school, and the french horn in junior high. I've learned how to count time signatures, read music, compositional structure, and very little on theory.
I can't really play any musical instruments, but I sing all the time. I've gotten 4 lead roles in local musicals within the last year, so I must be doing something right. I also did a workshop with one of the stars of Spring Awakening, which was very cool.
I'll probably find a way to double major in college doing something with a stable job description and musical theatre, cause I really do love it and would kill to go pro.
