«A girl named Becca» mmmmmravel (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:43pm) «A girl named Becca» :) (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:43pm) «John J. Ryan» Well, I'm still hungry from all your talk of food. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:43pm) «A girl named Becca» sorry. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:43pm) «A girl named Becca» you could eat something...i find that usually cures hunger quite effectively (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:43pm) «John J. Ryan» That trombone excerpt is HARD though. I could barely play those high notes when I was playing constantly. I doubt I could even come close now. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:44pm) «A girl named Becca» how high does it go? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:44pm) «John J. Ryan» And it is asked for on EVERY orchestra audition too. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:44pm) «John J. Ryan» Db above high C. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:44pm) «A girl named Becca» yikes (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:45pm) «A girl named Becca» ravel didn't listen to his composition 1 instructor, evidently. ;) (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:45pm) «John J. Ryan» Plus it stays up there, you don't just play it once then come back down. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:45pm) «John J. Ryan» From what I understand, Ravel wrote that piece in a rush one weekend. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:45pm) «A girl named Becca» meep (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:46pm) «A girl named Becca» and....yeah...*scoff....artists. ;) (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:46pm) «John J. Ryan» The piece is SO repetitive, 2 themes through the whole piece, and a coda. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:46pm) «John J. Ryan» And when you get to the coda, it's similar to that line in EFO's Monotony.... (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:46pm) «John J. Ryan» "And oh thank goodness here comes the coda..." (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:47pm) «A girl named Becca» sounds like bach (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:47pm) «A girl named Becca» :) (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:47pm) «John J. Ryan» Yeah, but Ravel is from the impressionistic period!!! (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:47pm) «A girl named Becca» i'm aware of this, thanks (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:48pm) «A girl named Becca» but really, that description could have just as easily applied to anything j.s. ever wrote (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:48pm) «John J. Ryan» You can tell when the one theme is played in 4ths. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:48pm) «A girl named Becca» mmmmm....tritones..... (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:49pm) «John J. Ryan» However, Bolero is still a wonderful, hypnotic piece. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:49pm) «John J. Ryan» mmmmresolves after the tritones.... (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:50pm) «A girl named Becca» tritones were my favorite interval for a few years....they were the easiest to identify on eartraining quizzes. :) (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:50pm) «John J. Ryan» How many semesters of ear training did you have? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:51pm) «A girl named Becca» that question is actually more complicated than it sounds... (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:51pm) «A girl named Becca» it wasn't an eartraining class, per se, it was part of high school music theory (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:51pm) «A girl named Becca» i took one 3-week summer course that counted as a year, then 1.5 years of theory at school (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:52pm) «A girl named Becca» and hated eartraining through pretty much the whole experience (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:52pm) «A girl named Becca» i could never understand how i could be so good at sightreading and so bad at eartraining.... (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:52pm) «John J. Ryan» I had 5 semesters of ear training (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:54pm) «A girl named Becca» /me shudders (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:54pm) «John J. Ryan» But it was fun (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:54pm) «A girl named Becca» riiiiight (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:55pm) «John J. Ryan» Sightreading instrumental or vocal music for you? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:55pm) «A girl named Becca» well, both...but i was referring to vocal...i'm not as good at instrumental (i play the piano) (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:55pm) «John J. Ryan» If you're okay with vocal sightreading, than ear training shouldn't be a problem. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:56pm) «A girl named Becca» with vocal sightreading, the hard part is figuring out what it's supposed to sound like...and i read music well enough that that's not a problem (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:56pm) «A girl named Becca» with piano, you have to figure out how to make your fingers make it sound that way...and for me that can be a lot more difficult (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:57pm) «A girl named Becca» i know it shouldn't....that's why it doesn't make sense (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:57pm) «John J. Ryan» You might be able to sing the notes based on everyone's elses parts, as well as predicting where it's going to go next (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:57pm) «A girl named Becca» naw, i can sightread by myself, too... (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:58pm) «A girl named Becca» though i'm sure that's part of it (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:58pm) «John J. Ryan» What parts of ear training did you have problems with? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 1:59pm) «John J. Ryan» Singing intervals? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:00pm) «John J. Ryan» Transcribing? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:00pm) «A girl named Becca» no no, singing intervals is all good (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:00pm) «John J. Ryan» Identifying chords? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:00pm) «A girl named Becca» transcribing is the problem... (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:00pm) «John J. Ryan» okay, how did they teach you how to transcribe? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:00pm) «A girl named Becca» i can see something and figure out what it sounds like, for the most part...but i can't hear it and figure out what it looks like (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:00pm) «John J. Ryan» They always taught us to break up the played melody into parts, and concentrate on either the 1st part or the last part, and write that out first. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:02pm) «A girl named Becca» yeah...um...it doesn't really matter how small i divide it up.... (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:03pm) «A girl named Becca» /me shrugs (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:03pm) «John J. Ryan» When I'm writing out songs, I'm ALWAYS listening for the bass (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:04pm) «John J. Ryan» then the melody. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:04pm) «John J. Ryan» One time, they played an atonal version of Frosty The Snowman. That was hard, because you had to put away the song you know, and write the weird version that was played. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:04pm) «A girl named Becca» /me nods (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:05pm) «A girl named Becca» on the other hand, if i can sit down at the piano, i can usually recreate a given melody, with enough trial and error....maybe that's a start....? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:05pm) «A girl named Becca» /me smiles hopefully (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:05pm) «A girl named Becca» (revealing her soon-to-be normal-looking teeth :)) (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:06pm) «John J. Ryan» :) (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:13pm) «John J. Ryan» I'm sure it will be a gorgeous smile when I see it next week. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:13pm) «John J. Ryan» Figuring out songs on piano is fun! I've been doing it since highs chool (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:13pm) «John J. Ryan» But I must get going, time to do some more Beatle jamming : (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:13pm) «A girl named Becca» heh...me too...but that wasn't that long ago for me (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:13pm) «John J. Ryan» :) (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:14pm) «A girl named Becca» ok...have fun! :) (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:14pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» ... (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:14pm) «A girl named Becca» "..."? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:14pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» yeah. heh (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:14pm) «A girl named Becca» /me is confused (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:15pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» that's pretty much my SOP (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:16pm) «A girl named Becca» your who? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:16pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» ??? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:17pm) «A girl named Becca» sop=? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:18pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Standard Operating Procedure (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:18pm) «A girl named Becca» ah (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:18pm) «A girl named Becca» /me is less confused (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:18pm) «A girl named Becca» ok...i'm off to play with my new hard drive (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:22pm) «A girl named Becca» bye bye wall! (Jul 21, 2002 @ 2:23pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Ugh. Do *not* put on cologne whilst your mouth is open. Learned *that* one the hard way... (Jul 21, 2002 @ 3:14pm) «Talcott» hey all (Jul 21, 2002 @ 3:15pm) «Talcott» uggggg...tooo...hot...must...find...magical...gem...o...coldnessity (Jul 21, 2002 @ 3:17pm) «Misch» Did you try the pool of shiny water? (Jul 21, 2002 @ 4:00pm) «danced with Lazlo» http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/21/health/21PROZ.html (Jul 21, 2002 @ 4:33pm) «danced with Lazlo» war on drugs my ass. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 4:33pm) «Talcott» hey all (Jul 21, 2002 @ 4:42pm) «Talcott» well, a small bit of rain blew through. That helped the heat a bit (Jul 21, 2002 @ 4:43pm) «soul groove feline» nobody's here. wah. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 6:41pm) «iPauley» /me looks about (Jul 21, 2002 @ 9:38pm) «iPauley» /me continues looking about (Jul 21, 2002 @ 10:03pm) «iPauley» cause, ya know, looking about is what it's all... um... about. (Jul 21, 2002 @ 10:04pm) «iPauley» /me puts his left foot in (Jul 21, 2002 @ 10:04pm) « Previous 100 entries | Next 100 entries »
