Re: Musicians

I play saxophone (usually tenor) and guitar. Not particularly great at either, but decent.

I play clarinet well and stay in practice for in case there's a draft. Then if I get chosen I can join the army's band. This Actually Works If You're Good Enough.

...oddly enough, that is one of my goals in getting better at the saxophone.

Re: Musicians

Ew you play violin.

I played piano for about a year and a half, then I switched to violin and played for the next 7/8 years, then i switched again to viola,( which is 10000x better ) and am currently doing that.

I've done like cow lots of competitions, and done a few musicals (Phantom of the Opera for one).

To any other violin/viola players out there this is what Im currently playing with a friend and would HIGHLY reccomend it. I LOVE it.

Re: Musicians

Ilike it a lot better because you can get such a rich sound out of it as opposed to the squeakyish sound you get from the violin,

I'll admit, sometimes violin can be a lot more expressive, and the concertos and pieces written for it are better, but I switched over because, Im a sophmore in HS now, and eventually ima need scholarships, and so many people play violin, but not viola, making it easier.

Also, it has a deeper, richer tone.

Its just my opinion, but I just like it a lot better :3
