MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.  

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.  

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.   Does anyone play any kind of musical instrument?  I play a bit of the ukulele but I'm going to learn the drums, and maybe the electric guitar and just maybe the French horn.  My favorite kinds of music are rock and country.  As for my favorite artist (music artist, not painting artist.), I'm not sure, but I like Phil Collins.  Can everyone say what musical instrument they play and their favorite genre (reggae, rock, roots rock, blues, slow blues, jazz, country, rap/hip-hop, pop, ETC.  and their favorite singer/artist? Cool

There should be a smiley face with a guitar!  FOMCL! :D

I play the clarinet and the piano (go clarinet!!!!). I enjoy listening to classical music, and oh, I don't know the type, music from the Lord of the Rings, or Narnia, or--even though they sing other people's songs--Celtic Women. (Google them if you don't know them or you-tube maybe.)

I usually listen to whatever music everyone else in my family is listening to at the time. 

I like Pandora. It is an internet site; you put in a group or words and the site gives you music for your categories. Pretty Cool!

P.S. Celtic Women isn't a group.

 

Nitehawk, I'd call music from Lord of the Rings or Narnia "movie music." And I believe Celtic Women is a group. I've heard them perform.

I've heard Celtic Women before!  My mom has a CD from them, and we saw them live in Marin!!!  :)

I opened chatterbox, and walked away to look at something, and my brother comes and he opens this thread:

*snort*  "We don't own the CD." 

Oh well... that's what brothers are for.  :)

I played the alto sax and clarinet. I am saving up for an ocarina of time. It's from the Zelda video game, but it sounds beautiful. (That sure did NOT sound like a manly thing to say but I cannot deny the truth.) ......................................I'm weird.

I play the piano and guitar. This summer i'm hoping to learn the tin whistle. I like any kind of music except rap. The Beatles would have to be my favorite band.

I play piano a little. My favorite genre is classical, and my favorite group is the Five Browns. They're seriously amazing. Five grand pianos on one stage at a time is totally awesome. :D:D I'd do a smiley piano if I knew how. :P The best I can do is an equals with a capital D, but it looks like just a smiley. Have any of you heard of the Five Browns? Not many people I've met have.

 

-EH

I've heard of them. Saw a feature about them on TV a few years ago.

Piano.  Guess that's a common instrument.  I like all sorts of music, but I don't really like slow songs and I dislike country music.  I'm not a huge fan of Broadway songs, but my sister loves them, so I kinda am used to them :)  :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I've played the piano for seven or eight years, and I have another recital on, ummm, June 6th!! :D Can't wait!! :):) (This other kid has been taking lessons there as long as I have and so now at every recital ((or should I say competition)), we seriously compete!!  I mean, no one announces a winner, but we both know who played better. :) I win about every other, and he wins the rest, but this recital I'll win, because my teacher said that he's never learned a song as hard as the song I'm playing!! :D Buuut, my teacher betrayed both of us, and we have to play a duet together... Ugh....  It'll be sort of funny, though, because we'll both be trying to outdo each other!!  Haha, can't wait!)

Around Christmas, I won a harmonica from my piano teacher, and I've pretty much mastered it, as long as there's no sharps or flats, because they're wicked hard to teach yourself! :)

And around St. Patrick's Day, I felt really Irishy, so I split the money with my dad and bought just the pipe part of a bagpipe (it's called a chanter).  I'm not too great at it, but I'm at chapter four in the book, which means a scale and grace notes (bagpipes can't emphasize certain notes ((like with how loud they are)), so you play a grace note right before each note.) :)

My favorite music genre is reggae!! :D:D And Bob Marley (ahem, the raggae dude, not that annoying Maine comedian...) is obviously my favorite musician!! :):) *runs off singing Bob Marley songs*  *realizes I still have more to say*  *comes back*

Ok, now to answer questions (I'm too lazy to reply to each one): Whoever it was who said asked if this should be in PP, there actually used to be one there, but it eventually died off (it lasted longer than any other thread I've seen, though!!).
