Do you have other music skills?

Do you guys play any instruments/sing/compose? I have very little musical skill outside of DJing, but have always wanted to learn piano.

I’ve been singing since I was 11 and playing guitar since 2006. Oh, and I can bang out melodies on keyboard-shaped instruments, but I wouldn’t say I play them. And I can almost keep up with my school’s snare line…but that’s because they suck.

I used to Pound rhythms with my hands on my school desk top…

Drums and an empty 5gallon plastic carboy

Have you been to the snow ball fight at Connewitz Kreuz yesterday? :smiley:

But on topic: I did plenty of stuff, even if that was a good number of years ago and therefore any skills I might have had are probably gone. The usual musical education stuff, played the violin from 6 to 16 (or something like that), singing in the choir probably was from 11 to 18 or so, got guitar lessons for about 2 years when I was like 17 (still have my electric guitar here, my violin is laying around at my parents - should probably bring that here at some point in time, just to try out how little I remember), was singing in a band as well (I think that was a tiny bit before the guitar lessons part). But as I said, all of that was years ago (I’m 26 now, so go figure :smiley:)

yes been there :wink: man that was alot of fun…500 people and a lot of snow…hehe

14

Man, I envy you. Heard about it today and was like what the fuck, why wasn’t I there? :confused: :open_mouth:

Sounded like new year’s eve at the Kreuz without firework rockets. And new year’s eve is always fun there.

I’ve always been pretty musical. I started playing Flute in middle school, and made the switch to Tuba in 8th grade when I realized that the flute is not a manly instrument. I was also taking electric bass lessons at the time. Got into districts playing Tuba, but quit band because my teacher was a nazi and expected everyone to go to college and play their instrument (which I had no interest in).

I also learned and then forgot how to play the harmonica well. Well, I can still play a few things but need to spend more time at it.

I can still read music, and before getting into fruity loops, I took a class on Cakewalk Express at a local HS which used MIDI and really started me on this whole “production” bit that I play around with. I sometimes really regret most software choices don’t actually have a firmer ground in musical notation. There is a reason why it bloody exists!

So yeah, I guess I have a bit of a musical background lol. Haven’t really messed with those kind of instruments for awhile now though, it’s gone in lue of the digital fun.
