[bored of sc]

Attention all music students. What's your instrument? What are your influences/genres you like to play? What level do you consider yourself (beginner, intermediate, experienced, professional etc)?

i play piano (9 years, passed AmusA in may this year) and viola (almost 2 years, doing 6th grade this saturday). and i sing as well, although not doing grades.
i play mainly classical, and i love jazz but i suck at it, haha.

i also play alot of sax, flute and woodwind crap.
i am 8th grade.
but do A.Mus level pieces for my HSC pieces.

 

[Zak Ambrose]

my instrument for hsc music will be guitar [electric, acoustic, 12 string acoustic].
influenced by pretty much everything i hear, but definately led zeppelin, davy graham, van halen, bob dylan, pink floyd, the beatles, john butler ect ect.
my level - professional [plays mistakes twice]

 

[bored of sc]

Cool guys. By the way, we should share notes in aural, musicology, composition and of course performance.

[bored of sc]

For the person above, sorry. I've got no idea.

But just for the record I'm a baritone vocalist. I'm into popular and rock music e.g. Coldplay, The Killers etc.

I haven't had any professional training but I am in love with music.

I hope to create musical masterpiece(s) for the HSC performance exam(s).

I'm a pianist, but ive also had a crack at g'tar clarinet and violin. The instrument i most want to learn though is viola.

Ive been playing piano for 3 years (since year 8) and im doing grade 7/8 this year. Im playing an amus piece for my core perf. in music 1, though im not doing elective performance cause i want to focus on composition in uni.
I have done some industry stuff, and played at WYD this year aswell as another festival and some huge masses (4 schools, few thousand people), so I do have some experience. I also act as vocal coach for the school's vocal ensemble, even though I can't sing though lol. I learn from the conductor.
I like all sorts of music, though Ive been looking at alot of minimalist music, especially Hallelujah Junction by John Adams. Philip Glass and Steve Reich are also on my list.

 

[Concerti]

started with piano when i was 3 and moved to
violin when i was 7

i passed my LmusA with dist. for violin this year..
and i would guess I'm about grade five for piano

music ext:

[bmfirkin]

hey.

im a guitarist (electric). undertaking the 09 HSC. Ive chosen to do my core perf. aswell as 3 other performances. anyone else doing the same?

but yeah, my influences;
anything from pete murray -> lior - > jack johnson -> ben harper.
also, anything ranging from The Living End -> anti-flag -> a day to remember -> static x -> fall out boy (older stuff) -> MCR

i kno, not the best styles, but am hoping to pull something major off for the 4 performances.

btw, im the only guitarist in my year, no drummers, one bassist. so im gunna hav to rely on some of my mates that dont attend my school. this should b fun (N).
