I sing and I play piano. I was learning guitar, but

I am not worthy of the hot pink hippy guitar.

^ you have cymbols in battery? thats cool. our college marching bands have marching cymbols, but ours are in pit. are you part of your marching band now?

Ziona · **Sat Feb 21, 2004 11:16 pm**

I've been a part of my marching band, cept i've been in the flute section *ick* I don't like marching flute.. I want a challenge

So I'm thinking of moving to the batter.

Yea... our batter has like 6 basses, 5 snares, 3 cymbols and 2 tenors.

I'm a flute/piano/soprano person. I played saxophone for a while but I didn't really enjoy it.

^^^Is it true the flute and saxophone have the same fingering

PicardsTrueLove · **Tue Feb 24, 2004 8:10 pm**

Mostly: they're also very similar to recorder.

A lot of insturments have similar fingerings. When i was in back at Clear Lake High School, Houston Texas there wa this kid named John Larson and he played trumpet(like me ) and he switced to Tuba and he seemed to be able to play it well. And he had only been on it for a few weeks or so.

Sam Kenobi · **Tue Feb 24, 2004 11:50 pm**

^ yeah, but thats brass... they only have 3 or 4 valves and a total of about 8 fingerings. You got instruments like flute, sax, clarinet, oboe, etc that have over 20 keys. So I think its a little easier to go from brass to brass than wind to wind, but yeah, they're also a lot alike

That is true but not true. When i played trumpet we have 3 value, and way over 8 notes and we have to move out lips from tight to loose to reach different notes. Tighter the Higher.

Have you ever played both?

Ziona · **Sat Feb 28, 2004 8:30 pm**

I definately have played both a keyboard, flute and a brass instrument. The thing with keyboards is you usually have four or more notes going at once and parts are a lot harder and there's chord structures and algorythms and stuff like that... so keyboards are harder compared to flutes were you only have to hit one note at a time... and if you know how to play the instructment correctly you shouldn't have a problem.

I play the Piano and I’m learning to play the guitar; I’m trying to teach my self. It sounds more like noise than music at the moment.
