Ya, I'm not sure what I'll be playing this year....  I hope we get some good music, too.  Last year, we played a piece called "Mazuma" or something like that that was really cool---it had singing parts and places where you stomped your feet.

Ya, our band has gotten alot of complements too.  We were AWESOME when I was a freshman, but then we lost a lot of good seniors, and then we started to slide.  But we're still pretty good, and we'll probably stay that way until I graduate (I hope!).  By the way----here's my exciting news:  Our band has been selected to go to Billings and play for Dan Quale when he comes on Monday. Pretty exciting, huh?  I don't know who picked us, but it's neat that we'll be able to go.  Maybe we'll even get on National TV

Hi Chris.  My name is Jenni and I'm 17 years old.  I am attending 
the Anaconda Job Corps in Montana.  A friend and I are sitting here 
reading messages and came along yours and thought it was pretty 
interesting so we decided to write.  Sounds like you have a pretty 
interesting life.  I wish mine was as exciting.  I can play the 
piano a little bit but not much.  I'd love to learn though.  Well, I 
don't have time to write a long letter, so I'll talk to you later if 
you write back.   Hope to hear from you soon.  Bye.

BM>>G'day Ian,

BM>>The package I told you about went out today. I know cause I mailed it. I
BM>>phoned your address to Tom Ervin, and he promptly lost it somewhere in
BM>>his cavernous office.

Geeez, I hope you guys haven't gone to too much trouble.  I'm actually
going to have to put off plans of American study for another year now.
I finish my B.A this semester (at end of November) and have decided to
get my teaching qualification next year where I'm presently studying.

This comes about because of the fact that I am auditioning with the
Australian National Bands on 20 September and am virtually guarenteed a
place in either or both bands.  Either way, I wouldn't be available to
outside commitments until next December.  (Youth band is touring
Australia's East-Coast and the National Wind Orchestra is an invitied
band for the Mid-West Band and Orchestra Convention in the good 'ol USA)

BM>>Anyway, when I did my lesson with him Saturday, he gave me the things he
BM>>wanted to send to you. They're coming surface mail (by ship) which means
BM>>they should get there in about eight to ten weeks. Long about October or
BM>>November. I shan't say too much about contents, except that I hope you
BM>>can get access to a cd player. (That should whet your interest a tad!)

Firstly, all Aussie students who really get into music have a CD player.
Secondly, you have whet my interest - considerably.  If I have the cash
at Christmas, I'll try and get you the Australian Youth Wind Orchestra's
debut CD (from 1990, no I'm not with the band then :-(  )  entitled
"Masterworks for Winds vol.1".  It contains standards like Grainger's
"Lincolnshire Posy" and and interesting piece, "Bushdance" by Ralph
Hultgren, my University Wind Ensemble Director.

BM>>Hope your holiday or concert (whatever it was) went well.

Convention (Asia-Pacific Band Director's Conference).  Went extremely
well.  We were voted the best band there.  Certainly, watching Dr.
Fennell in action was an experience - he is a conducting marvel!!!

BM>>John Felton, the moderator of the language arts conference, is also
an BM>>Australian gentleman, and he's taught me a new word.

Actually, it's John Feltham (I know because he dropped me a line when my
mail packet blew chunks all over K12)

BM>>So then, oroo. TTYL
BM>>Barbara

So Long, Farewell, I hate "The Sound Of Music"...........

Chris,
My name is Natanya.  I am pretty young I suppose, I just recently 
turned seventeen years old.  My parents are very young also.  My mom 
has a piano in her living room, I love listening to her play, it 
means that she is happy.  I used to take guitar lessons, then I got 
incredibly frustrated.  My fingers were always hurting and I am not 
a very patient person, I don't like to wait for things.  I didn't 
want to take the time to learn, I just wanted to know how to do it. 
That seems to be one of my not so good character traits.  I was 
wondering how old you are.  See, sometimes I just feel like I'm so 
young that nobody on here is my age at all.  I enjoy all kinds of 
music.  What type do you play?  If I could play music I would play 
everything between classical and thrash metal.  I live in Anaconda, 
Montana.  It is really pretty over here.  I like these things that 
we have here, computers that is.  They enable us to do just about 
anything wanted.  I enjoy several different things, I like swimming 
in rivers, lakes and swimming pools.  I like drawing, listening to 
music, writing in my diary, I especially like writing essays, I do 
not know why, not very many people know that I enjoy it.  My friends 
say that I am very smart and stuff, I don't see it.  Someday I hope 
to be a journalist on a large newspaper or magazine, I think that it 
would be fascinating.  Right now I am on a DELL 320LX computer. 
This is a pretty nifty little machine.  I did not graduate from high 
school, a couple of days ago I took my GED tests, I know I will 
pass.  This is the longest I have written to anybody on this thing. 
I like it though.  I enjoy reading and writing almost too much.  I 
am in a type of class where you may learn office procedures.  I 
learned how to get onto procomn through this class, I also learned 
many things on the WordPerfect disks.  I like this place, it's ok. 
Chris, do you live on your own?  I don't.  I will in about four or 
five months though.  I suppose I should go.  Thank you for listening 
Chris. 
                                          Laters, Natanya Joy.

Hi Reuben,

I'm also interested in finding out how to use the computer as
an aid in the teaching of music theory. Specifically, I'd like to be
able to use the 386 I'm writing this on to drill *myself* in theory.

Right now I need to be able to spell out chords as quickly as I spout
off the times table. Major, minor, augmented, diminished, major 7th,
minor 7th, the whole thing. I've made some flash cards, but it's a
laborious process. I've had *some* theory, but not at the degree of
intensity that high school and college students study it.

I am a private (non-college) trombone student of Prof. Tom Ervin
(University of Arizona).

Are you aware of any theory drill programs out there? This might be a
good project for some musically minded programmer.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Barbara

Great!  My approach, as both a performing musician and a teacher, is that one 
should play many instruments.  Once a few mechanical differences are overcome, 
they really are all the same at some location deep in the brain.  It's very 
good that you come from a background that fostered your experimentation with 
several instruments.

Well, since you are only 15, I'll forgive your 'small' collection (*that's a 
joke!).  Your house sounds like my house.  My wife and I both teach music, 
and our three kids all play instruments.  Looking through the door into the 
'music' room, I see: 4 guitars, a piano, a bassoon, 2 flutes, a recorder 
collection, an organ, a couple electronic keyboards, a viola da gamba, 2 
clarinets, a trombone, and a trumpet.  Sitting next to me as I type this is 
an entire MIDI studio.  It's funny how every little dollar turns into 
something that makes noise.

Thanks for your post- glad to see you in here.  Later.

Andy

YES! A fellow addict. I saw Phantom less than a week ago and I am 
still buzzing. It was incredible. Les Miz is my favorite though. 
Seen it four times and am still going strong. Next would be either 
Aspects or Miss Saigon. Michael Ball is my favorite and Frances 
Ruffelle is my hero. I could babble forever about musicals, and in 
most cases I do. I took a class last year called Music Lit hoping 
that at the end of the year, we would study current music. But much 
to my disapointment, we never went past West Side Story. The class 
was great though. (I sound like a fool..) Well, I have to go. But 
give a holar and we'll "do tea".

 >Again- nice to see you on board.  Let us know how you learned to become
 >fluent on so many different instruments...

Just fascination really.  My mother was a concert pianist, and so 
naturally she got me started on the piano, nice and early.  (I was four 
years old)  Not long after, I learnt the recorder at a music classes program 
(where my mother taught) and played in various recorder ensembles until just 
a couple of years ago.  When I was seven, I started the clarinet (which is 
my principal instrument) and I stuck with those three until I was about 12. 
I then started playing more and more in public, and discovered lots of other 
instruments.  Out of pure curiosity, I taught myself the flute, the drums, 
and I have a fascination for 'wierd' instruments.  So, I taught myself the 
dijeridoo, the ukulele, and lots of little woodwind instruments.  (Cane 
flutes, tin/penny whistles etc)

The interesting bit is, that for a long time I vowed and declared I'd never 
play the saxophone, and I'd stick to the clarinet.  Too many of my clarinet 
players that had gone onto the sax, left behind their clarinet playing, and 
let it go to waste.  When I was 13, I was asked to join a professional jazz 
big band, as a clarinetist.  At the same time, I started teaching the 
clarinett the same music classes I learnt from earlier.  One day I 
discovered in the back of a store room, an old clapped out baritone sax, and 
decided I'd take it home and see whether or not I could play it.  Sure 
enough, I had it going within about 30 mins, and before long, became the 
baritone sax player in the big band.

Even though my principal instrument is the clarinet, I'm better known around 
the place as a sax player.

Now, I'm 15 years old, and teach the sax and the clarinet, and play many 
gigs around the place.  As you may have gathered, I'm a jazz musician, BUT, 
I was the lead clarinetist in an orchestra for 4 years.  Only recently have 
I given my orchestra work away. (for a number or reasons)

But, to answer your question, <grin> the reason for my becoming fluent on so 
many instruments, is just because I'm fascinated - I listen to music all the 
timme, and talk to as many people, find out as many things as possible.  I 
learn wherever I can.

I collect instruments too; at present, I have 5 saxes (soprano, 2 altos, a 
tenor, and of course, my favourite, a baritone), 6 clarinets (3 B-flats, 2 
'A' clarinets, and a bass clarinet), 2 ukuleles, a baritone ukulele, a 
dijeridoo, penny whistles in various different keys, and lots of percussion 
instruments!  You people probably think I'm mad!  Well, I maybe insane, but 
I'm not crazy!

Hiya Karen, I read your message and see you are confused as to what this board is all about, well I am no expert and do not claim to be one so I shall stick my two cents in here.
I think it is basically about life in general, if you have a problem or qestion about something that you cannot do well just ask away.  I myself have not used this board but that is my impression.

If anyone out there has their two cents to throw in by all means do so.

Thank you.
