Used to play drums a bit, never got particularly good. Now I'm wishing I stuck with it... When I manage to get some money saved I'm hoping to buy a kit and start practising again

 

[Clarkeeyyy]

I used to play keyboard and clarinet but I gave them up and play drums now. May take up piano, and would love to learn how to make electronic music.

Murray Gold and there's loads of piano covers on youtube that have the sheet music in the description.

Latest band concert. We went and played these 3 pieces a week later in front of judges we scored straight ones!! which is the highest possible score!

 

[ChrisBird]

So what do you play? Are you in another form of musical arts (theater, singing, ect)?

I have played Piano for almost 12 years now, and have dabbled in and around with Trumpet and Guitar here and there. I am by no means good at any of them, I just enjoy making music.

 

[Sakoleg]

I am violinist and sound ingeneer in theater.

 

[tx789]

[CuberCat]

Hi guys, I have played the piano since I was 6 in Year 1 (Now 15, in Year 10), I also started to play the Clarinet in Year 7, Alto Saxophone in Year 8, Baritone Saxophone in Year 10. I play in Concert and Jazz bands and I am preparing for my Grade 8 AMEB exam this year. (AMEB= Australian Music Examination Board). I am also trying to learn the guitar on my own. Any tips?

 

[ducttapecuber]

I just thought that I would share to the world (a few years after making this thread) that I'm in high school now and have been selected to be Drum Major my next two years

A bit of a resurrection but this thread is timeless, it seems to me.

I play music professionally two nights a week. Hoping to get more long term contracts soon. ^^

 

[Seanliu]

Actually, no. I am crap at music and cannot play any instrument, although I there is a problem -
When I moved, the other school assumed I could read music. When I went back, they assumed that the school I went to taught me how to read music.

I quit music when I was 3, when I couldn't sit for the length of a recorder session.

Good Luck!

Ooooh boy, where do i start...

I primarily play the guitar, even tho im not particularly good at it, mostly i play my grindy, gritty and harsh experimental-kind of music (while still having melody to it, thats the point in experimental music, so it sounds listenable while being something new/different) but sometimes i go on and play some nice happy moody chords and go full-blast djent-style again. I can play the drums pretty well, even tho i dont own a drum set. I primarily play at the school. I can also play the bass guitar, and i can play some nice tunes with that too. The keyboard hasnt interested me too much, but i still can play it as far as playing 3-point chords goes to.

I also listen to a lot of music, everything from harsh noise to shoegazing/post-rock. If someone actually is interested my last.fm is the same as my username here. I also listen to music when im solving, mostly something more silent, like ambient or the previously mentioned post-rock with some doom metal vibes.

I also have experimented making my own industrial/experimental rock -kind of music with a guitar and a drum machine. I also simulate bass by playing the guitar and editing the sound to be an octave lower. (lol) I havent posted my "productions" anywhere, and i have to play and record more crap for the "album" im making.

Well I might as well throw in my two cents. I taught my self to "play" piano around two-three years ago. I've never learned yo played songs but I could sit down at a piano and improve for 30-50 minutes. This is a short example of what I've taught myself to do https://soundcloud.com/phaintmusic/piano-improv (keep in mind I have not done any musical background and have only learned to play through experimenting so plz don't judge). For the past year I have been spending my time learning to produce music and making music on my computer as a hobby.

I'm curious if anyone else has any background as a producer or is a self taught musician who also cannot read music notes? I have also been cubing for around 2 months now and have gotten my average down to around 25 seconds and was wondering what a normal rate of progression is? Am I slow or is that normal?

What software if any are you using to record and such and what are you doing with it? There is a lot of very powerful software that could simulate real instruments like your bass and mastering the tracks that could help it sound a lot better (although I couldn't find your last.fm thing and don't know what your music sounds like, if you don't EQ and master your tracks properly they won't sound as good as they could) If you have any questions regarding stuff like that I would be happy to help.
