Compose music? Teach music? Study music? Just play an instrument?
This is the place for you!
I create songs for the piano, the flute and the tin whistle. :)

Maybe we could discuss favorite songs or styles of music...or something like that.

Edit 9/1: I created a simple form, but tell me if something needs to be changed. n///n

I'm an intermediate pianist and a beginner acoustic guitarist. Not much of a composer, but I do enjoy writing lyrics. I'm mix with what styles of music I like.

I am a percussionist. If you don't know what it is, It means I play the Marimba, Bells, Piano, All the different parts in drums, and the toys. The toys are my favorite, like the cowbell, triangle, crash symbols, and stuff like that. I also so a little Guitar. I do enjoy singing and writing lyrics for my brother's band too~

@Elementalcrystals
I like to take songs I know and try to play them in ragtime. /D I've never played the guitar, though, maybe I should try it! :)


@tailowb
That's all awesome~ do you have a favourite music style? Like rock, or classical or something...?

Oh, yeah, and on another note (haha)... I actually own three whistles: One's a pennywhistle (toy), one's a tin whistle (Celtic), and one is meant for professional use (kind of x3). Such whistles are really easy to pick up, and they don't cost much at all. :3

XD Well I prefer dramatic orchestra music or like... classic stuff. And I can't believe I forgot my Ocarina. I got it so I could play Zelda songs and I have actually gotten good. ((On a side not, I am not usually that good on wind instruments. ))

Yeah, orchestrated stuff and and an ocarina tend to go well with Zelda. xD Wind instruments take a ton of breath sometimes. I still get tired easy if I play a long flute piece. *yawns* Now I'm feeling tired just talking about it~

Guitar is fun when you get into it. I did more finger picking than actual chords. Though it is a bother to clip your names short to continuously play it all the time.

I consider myself an intermediate pianist and percussionist. *High-fives Tailow* Currently I like to play mallets the most, but I want a drumset for my birthday. (Too bad I'm already driving it into my parents' brains that I only want an Ocarina...and it looks EXACTLY like the Ocarina of Time!) I'll probably ask for it for Christmas. I also play in my school's band. Last year I was in my third year of band, and we did "pro" music. In other words: Star Wars marches. (And only in the third year of band! Our teacher's pretty hardcore, but it was awesome.)

I'm trying to collect a bunch of Zelda music, and guess what? I think I've FINALLY got Song of Storms down. And memorized. Mostly. The left hand is a paaaaain. >_> Zora's Domain is also proving to be much harder than I originally expected. But on top of that, I know Midna's Theme, Midna's Desperation (aka Midna's Lament), Oocoo's Theme, Sacred Grove, and Lord Ghirahim's Theme.

JUST SLIGHTLY OBSESSED.

(And then I'm also trying to figure out how to play Time Gear with no sheet music...I've got the melody so far!)

My ocarina is 12 hole tenor and I play pretty much all the songs from Ocarina of time and a few from Majora's mask. Tee~ I love playing it.
And we have a little percussion party going on in here~!

I suppose I'm sort of an intermediate pianist. I can read sheet music, but I prefer to learn by ear.

I can play Sacred Grove and part of Song of Storms. I haven't tried playing Zora's Domain, but it might turn out to be a welcome challenge! *researches sheet music*

Right now, I'm obsessed messing around with music from films. This and next week, I'm finishing up the Man of Steel soundtracks, from the Superman movie. Arcade is very hard to play on piano....O_o...I think it's going to take up the entire week...

And then the next two months are officially dedicated to more video game music. :D

Percussion party!!

Percussion rocks! And in concerts you can always find us the easiest!

I went here for my Zelda music. Zora's Domain isn't necessarily that complicated, but the melody is with the left hand...soo, yeah.

Thanks, Death! Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, it seems this thread became buried under other things. /D

I'm still attempting to play Arcade, but I'll get to it as soon as I can. It's starting to get a bit tedious, because feeling it out by ear is harder than I thought it would be. :p Also quite a bit repetitious.

I wonder if they are any musicians among the newer members?

I'm a flute player and also a pianist.I guess you can say I'm not really good at both,but I'm not bad either.
I'm in a marching band for my school.
And,um,I don't compose music unless if I have to,such as for projects and things.
I also play the harmonica and a bit of guitar.
I'm also on PF!

I'm a pianist too. I play for 10 years now and can play easy sheet music. But I prefer to play songs by hearing and "composing" my own sheets. I really like music from animes or games.

I want to share an experience with you I had a month or two ago...

Okay, so I was at my cousin's stake dance. (I was visiting her, and she dragged me along to it.) Just you average dance. Group A is in the gym dancing, Group B is in the gym, standing there awkwardly, and Group C is in some other room eating snacks, talking, and gratifying the whiteboard with Doctor Who, Link, flower random phone numbers, etc. After finishing drawing David Tennant for the fourth time, (stupid people kept erasing it...) I realized: there's a piano in the room. Before my cousin can stop me, I walk over to it and start to play Song of Healing. Guys FLOCK to the piano, and keep trying to fist-bump or high-five me. And I'm all like, "I love this..." When I'm done, I walk over to the snack bar, and the majority of the guys in the room are starting at me like, "Ohmygosh did she really do what I think she did?" This random guy that's probably two or three years older than me gets down on his knees in front of me and says "Will you marry me?" while offering a licorice that's been looped into a circle. I told him no, but took the licorice. Then he asked if I wanted to dance. Of course I said yes.

Welcome, Rae-Jou! Percussion party~

Pffff. xD So true.
Something like that happened to me, once, when I was playing Skyrim music on my flute. x3 *evil laughter*

True thing, Death. I know how this is. If there is a piano I always start playing the Tetris Song. ;D The reactions are great. But I'm not as lucky as you xD

I play flute and piccolo (picc for short. It's like a baby flute! It's music is written exactly the same as flute music, but when you play it it's one octave up.) I am also a beginner at Flash Flash Revolution *shot* xD I enjoy listening to pop and rock music and trying to copy it and play along with it.

I just recently got a new flute that's a lot better than what I had~ And to go with it, I got a book of Phantom of the Opera music! :D so much fun to play!
