I thought it might be interesting to hear what other instruments you guys play.. Especially if you have performance vids or recordings of you and your secondary instruments. Those of you who aspire to music school will have to choose a secondary when you get there so maybe it's time for some of you to start thinking about that.So in edition to the piano... I have also played the guitar for a few decades and I sing... although I only sing when I am forced to.so here's me on guitar-- and if you want to hear me sing... well then feel free to click the link below and wade through my 42 vids on Youtube to find the one that I am singing on... that one I will not be posting here...lol
I play clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, piano (obviously), a little organ and accordion, and I'm working on my flauting, tromboning, and violining(?) I don't have any recordings that isn't like scales and exercises for band but as I progress on my solo material this year I'll certainly record that.
well dang--aren't you the well rounded musician... I guess I can claim the organ and accordion as well and I played a banjo for a few years in a band...but those things you gotta blow through... I just don't have the pipes... I took woodwinds class in college and passed out while trying to play the flute...lol. The sax I could manage but we won't talk about how it sounded...lol. My sister is the brass player--she has her doctorate and is a trombonist... so after having my eardrums blasted out the entire time she was in high school I had no desire to play a brass instrument myself. As for the violin... never had the motivation..I can play the bass and if the drummer doesn't show I can play the kit, too... but my only other instrument that I actually work on and practice, sometimes, is the guitar.So which of that vast array of instruments you play will you choose as your secondary?
Either the bassoon or the saxophone; I want to claim bassoon cause it's in higher demand for colleges and what have you but it's kind of a hellish instrument to play. Saxophone, on the other hand, is more fun, but there's so much competition out there. And don't worry, I've passed out playing flute before too xD
Bassoon... that is a smart move Those poor folks always looked so funny walking around school with those things. Still there are too many sax players out there... and as you well know it is not the most respected of the woodwind instruments...lol.. besides, as someone who has played in her share of big bands... sax players tend to be a weird group.and I was a smoker... I had no shot at the flute..
I play the plectrum banjo, tenor banjo, banjolele & 5 string banjo.Thal
clawhammer style, right? I love the banjo.. so ok I am holding you to that! post a vid
Never played clawhammer, that is for 5 stringers.Thal
