Polls / favorite musicals?

« on: July 19, 2006, 04:02:15 am »

Umm...musicals, not musicians. I'm not a big musical person, but I liked My Fair Lady, Rent, Phantom..., and Wicked.

Good choices, good choices  :wink:

I wish I played violin...

Then don't wish, do it! (If/When you have a violin)

Worth a try!

lol. Find me the time and I'll gladly pick up another instrument.

Just a question.. nothing to do with your merch but are you a signed artist or are you just gigging now? Do you have a demo tape in the works or finished? I'd like to hear you stuff

Yeah, I've been taking lessons for almost 4 years now, classical and jazz. I really like it. It comes in handy for my composition lessons.... for sure.

Trumpet (6 years) and Piano (4 years). I guess you could count Flugelhorn too, but I only play that as needed

Thanks and yeah, chorale's are nice. Our warm ups are usually 10-15 minutes long though, so actually it's kind of short, but I don't think my director wanted it over a minute.. and it's like 50 seconds so... good enough.

Creative Endeavors / Listen to my Brass Chorale!

« on: July 02, 2006, 07:40:19 am »

So one of my band directors asked me to write a brass chorale for our brass line in my school's marching band. We'd use it in warm ups to help tune and kind of show off our sound at competition. My brass line is huge, about 70 people of just brass players. So you can imagine the amount of sound we crank out. haha. So anyways, this is what I wrote, tell me what you think.

For those of you who don't know... a chorale is a slow song with a lot of moving lines and nice sounding chords.

i actually do remember v saying that...didn't she want to choreograph a ballet to her music, too?  maybe they'll let her do a scene like that....

and btw, JazzyManda, i love your avatar, etc.  i love idina menzel/wicked.

Yeah, she's pretty much the coolest... same with the show (I've seen it three times..) hehe

And yeah, I think V said she wanted to write music for ballet
