I would love to learn the drums properly! You don't see many female drummers!

At church we have a state of the art computerised sound system, the person who operates
it also works for one of our theatres/playhouses and he tells me the sound system we have
is more advanced than the one at his work. (We have just moved into a brand new
£20 million building provided by God free of charge).



I would really like to learn all about the sound system some day, maybe when I've got a bit
more time. He said he would show me if I want to. Then I would get to play everything all
at the came time, the drums, guitars, piano, flute, singers etc :D

YES, Instruments can cost so much. That is why we settled for the least expensive: harmonica, recorder, uke. Not the latter, but i found the first 2 can easily be learned by ear too, although idk. When i watch those who do piano oido, i just dont know how they do it.

I think it would be hard to learn piano by ear if that's what you meant. :rolleyes:

I started learning with a drum practice pad which was really just a block of wood with a piece of rubber glued to it. That would be the traditional way of learning but to play on a set you really need an actual set. They make practice sets but I think they cost almost as much as a real one. My electric set was only $300 from Target but they don't sell it anymore. Oh here it is on amazon. Its actually a lot nicer now than when I bought it, and still only $300..

Keep going it will be worth the effort, are your finger tips sore yet! An old
traditional remedy was to rub lemon juice on them to harden them.

Recommendations for the Oboe? Also, did you ever have problems with the high notes on the flute?

I've played so many things it's hard to keep track.

school recorder in school band
stylus phone
leaf!
then taught myself the flute, guitar, piano accordion, piano to level 4,
also had a bash at the oboe, keyboard.

Now ive settled on the saxophone.

Music is a gift from God to worship Him, lift ones spirit and to edify each other,
also it is used in spiritual warefare etc.

Such a pity that it is often misused, but when it is used the way it was intended
it is a powerful force for good.

It's called Craigslist and Ebay at the end of the school year. That's when to get your instruments.

The oboe is very strange, you have to force massive amounts of air pressure through a tiny hole.
You need so much pressure but so little air, that you have to breath out before you breath back
in. There is also no way you can play with a cold or a headache, it makes your ears pop!
Best thing with the oboe is to get an experienced teacher who can show you how to breath
correctly.

Flute, I found the high notes easier, the very lowest notes were harder as i tended to overblow
them into the next octive. The flute generally i found to be the easiest of the wind instruments.


The saxophone I like the most, it's more challenging than the flute but easier than the oboe.
Plus if you make a mistake you can always pretend it was a blues note. :D

High notes are hard for me. Low notes are super easy. Thanks about the info on the oboe. I may stir away from it for a bit.

I loved music for it's ability to tap into my deeper
feelings without needing words to express them :D

I played guitar for years. :)

In fact it was seeing how expressive people were when they played, the grimaces and such they made haha when they were really making their instrument speak for them as it were, and conveying so much feeling, that contributed to my desire to play... I had tried a little when I was about eighteen but did not connect with it so much, but then when I was about twenty, a friend put a guitar in my hands and said, here, just play these three chords while we are playing what we are playing, and I got so into it, lost in it as it were, the rest of the world just fell away and there was only me and that guitar, and my friends making music... well, it stayed that way for me for a few years after that, I played as much as I could, hung out only with people who played, other musicians, my friends and I jammed together all the time, that was what we did mostly, I hardly ever went anywhere without my guitar for quite a few years after that :D I still have a couple of my guitars :)

Oh the viola
I was never a big fan when I tried, the violin was more of my fit, but I love playing with violas!

I played violin for 8 years.

I dont really remember high notes being harder to hit than low notes, though? I mean shifting could be kinda hard, but mostly just because I wasnt used to playing in that position so I wasnt as intuitive with where to place my fingers, meaning I didnt play as well : p

Throughout the entire 8 years I played, I rarely ever played anything that ever had us shift into a higher position. (I played in an orchestra)

It harder to get the higher notes to sound remotely good, especially if you are shifting to other positions. (Fiddle does that quite a bit)

But I have always liked Higher strings or notes like A and E
I'm not a big fan of the D and G string lol
