How are you for $$$? I'm not rich, but I'm getting by and also managing to pay off my student debt I enjoy teaching (this is primarily in a one-on-one context) and it's far more consistent than gigs are, at least at this stage. Wariodorf posted... Inb4 Proudclod derails the topic I largely prefer Baroque over Classical. Romantic over both of them. my focus was in Jazz though Damn_Underscore posted... In communist takeover you would be one of the first "enemies of the state" to be killed (teacher/intellectual) I feel like you don't know what you're talking about Sariana21 posted... Do you play the bassoon? I don't play bassoon, though I love listening to it. Bassoon Quartet is awesome. I'll admit I don't actually know "Russian Christmas Music" like I said, my focus was Jazz as for John Williams... writing for film is its own skill, and it takes a long time to do well. he does that very well. his stuff is obviously derivative of Mahler and Holst, but basically all film soundtracks are. --- peanut butter and dick ...

Sariana21 posted... Do you play the bassoon? Nah, Zimmer's The Lion King music is a total ripoff of Mozart's "Requiem" (I think that's the piece). Both Williams and Zimmer have admitted that they "steal" motifs from the classics, though, so that's fine. Bassoon isn't exactly a jazz instrument, lol.

I'll probably get into the studio eventually, once the band is all comfortable with the tunes. nothing original of mine online right now, though I did do some recording a few weeks ago as part of a choir for a local singer-songwriter. not sure when his album is coming out. --- peanut butter and dick ...

How do you feel about Big Band composers like Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman? sorry, I missed this one. Glenn Miller was lame and I'd bet a good amount of money that everyone in his band used the n word regularly. Benny Goodman is less lame, but still kinda hokey. he did do some good by de-segregating his band though Makeveli_lives posted... 1.

What percent do you agree with me? I'm not as familiar with Tchaikovsky as I am with Holst and Mahler so I don't recognize his influence as much, but I'm sure it's there. My understanding is that the most direct ancestor of most film music is Holst's The Planets. Tchaikovsky could very well have informed the way Holst wrote that. I know Mahler did.

I don't post much about music because I already play music every day and have a large community IRL where the primary focus is music. music, in some way, already takes up most of my waking hours. and I sometimes post about music online too. usually just not in this context --- peanut butter and dick ...

Live Evil and On the Corner are extremely my shit if you're interested in contemporary artists doing similar stuff, I recommend the trumpet players Roy Hargrove (he does a lot of stuff with hip-hop and neo-soul artists, and his career imo has basically been what Miles' would have been if he didn't die in the 90s) and Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah (doing similar things to Roy, obviously heavily influenced by Roy Hargrove and Miles, but also has some cool stuff going on) --- peanut butter and dick ...

I want to go to school for music production or something. Do you have any recommendations on what to learn before I go and what I should major in. I'm studying music theory right now and taking drum lessons. I think that, in addition to their main instrument(s), everyone should be able to sing and play piano. I have a conceptual idea about music where piano and voice are at opposite ends of a spectrum which contains all the pitched instruments: piano could, on theory, be learnt entirely visually, with no aural cues, and you generate sound by pressing a key. with singing, there are no visual cues, and they way sound is produced is much more abstract. piano, because there are so many concrete visual cues, is also excellent for learning theory. aside from that: practice active listening. listen to a lot of music and try to pick it apart and figure out what's going on. if there's sheet music available for what you're listening to, look at it as you listen. music is holistic: everything you do will make everything else you do a little bit easier --- peanut butter and dick ...

Thanks man. There are no piano instructors in my small town so I think I'll have to do YouTube vids. I find it difficult to believe that there would be a drum teacher and a theory teacher in your town and not a piano teacher (I grew up in a small town with a population of roughly 12 000 and there were lots of piano teachers) but if that's really true then best of luck. Also, what if I can't sing? Like I don't have a good voice. "good" voices are subjective, and you don't have to sing the Queen of the Night Aria in perfect falsetto (lord knows I can't) to be a tremendous asset to a band if you can sing in tune and blend with other people, you're basically 85% of the way there. but disregarding that, there's definitely some niche that you can pull off. like I can sing parts in a choir or other group setting, I can do lead for some specific styles, and I can rap, but I don't have the power behind my voice for lead on, say, Funk. --- peanut butter and dick ...
