Snow and musical instruments

Neither I am - but it's still fun :-)

I started studying the violin in third grade (about age 9). I stopped the same year.

My miscellaneous rhythm instrument was the triangle. In college I got drafted into playing in the Academic Festival Overture because a friend of mine was a drummer and they just didn't have enough percussionists to handle all the required instruments. To this day, when I hear that piece, I listen only for the triangle. It's distracting.

I sing in my church choir. Whether that really classifies as a "proper choir" is open to discussion. But I have sung in proper choirs.

The tense of the singing question is ambiguous, because I didn't get uk_sef to proofread it for me, but I certainly meant "I have sung in proper choirs" to count.

And I'm sure a triangle player will come in handy :-)

A triangle features in the Toy Symphony. Players of the various bird whistles (eg cuckoo and nightingale) would also be required.

Never underestimate the value of a good snow day. Two words... Hot Chocolate.

Hot Chocolate

Well that makes sense as you were talking about *classical* music. *g*

A copper and a musician

Your collection of appropriate icons for every situation never fails to impress me :-)

For singing you left out: 'I can't sing in tune and yet I sing loudly and often to share my important mental background noise with the world' which describes me pretty well *g*

I learnt violin and recorder at school, and taught myself to play one-handed piano since I could read treble clef. I never had the patience to get particularly good but I do find the recorder relaxing still.

Snow! Yes, we had snow. Brrr. I am currently wearing a pair of attractive thick nipple-high tights under my jeans and sports socks, plus a t-shirt and jumper and student hoodie, and I'm still cold. I think I need to purchase a hot water bottle...

Are you watching 'Being Human'? It combines slashiness, vampires and flat-sharing in a manner I find most delightful and relevant to my interests *g*

Singing

[elfwhistletree]

For singing you left out... why, yes, I did - and it's not as if DR doesn't sing like that to her MP3 player or internal soundtrack while doing her homework - Merlin help anyone taking an exam in the same room as her!

I don't think I sing like that much when other people can here me - at the very least I keep the volume high enough that I can't hear their complaints ;-)

Piano

[elfwhistletree]

"one-handed piano" - like Kiff presumably? or did you have a use for the other hand, Mr Barlow?

I must admit to thinking of cenea's latest deliciousness when I typed that particular description!

I should try and learn both hands - I can type, after all (and fast at that) how hard can it be? *g*

I decided to play safe on the singing questions and not tick "Soprano" :-)

[elfwhistletree]

I'm sure it could be arranged ;-)

Hope you're feeling a bit better today.
