Please share your answers in the comments.
1: Have you heard a symphony play live and in person? Yes
ReplyDelete2: What instrument would you like to learn to play? Sometimes I think piano (we have one). I learned a little when I was young (from friends who had lessons), but I want to play like a prodigy.
3: How did your parents feel about you having a toy drum when you were a child? I had one for perhaps a day. I remember finding it destroyed (turns out it was by my mother).
4: Have you ever taken music lessons? In school on Long Island when I was you, violin and clarinet. I loved it.
5: What is your favorite kind of music? It depends on my mood. Like you, I have eclectic taste.
There is still time to learn
Delete1. More than once.
ReplyDelete2. I did learn the piano and I was not a good player but I would have liked to be.
3. Maybe I had a drum at some point, but I can't remember.
4. Yes, piano lessons.
5. All sorts of music but my boredom threshold is low for music and I rarely listen to the end of anything if I have the choice.
I agree my music taste is very mixed
Delete1. Many times. We live down the street from one of the best orchestras in the world.
ReplyDelete2. I know some piano, but I'd like to be good. And I knew how to play trumpet and some guitar.
3. I don't recall having one. But I got one for all my nieces or nephews just to fuck with my sisters.
4. Guitar and Trumpet.
5. I am all over the place. Right now it's been some modern rock with a classic rock vibe.
Your music taste is on every Monday
Delete1. Yes, several years ago at a local college.
ReplyDelete2. I learned the piano but haven't played for a while.
3. ? never came up
4. Yes, piano lessons in grade school from the nuns. I hated recitals.
5. I like the current music on the radio and also the oldies. I'm a rock and roll and rap girl and like to sing along, although I'm often getting the lyrics wrong! ;)
How did my music end up on the oldies list
Delete1: Have you heard a symphony play live and in person? We've gone to symphonies in several places where we've lived or visited; we went quite a bit to the New World Symphony in Miami, and the South Carolina Philharmonic in Columbia.
ReplyDelete2: What instrument would you like to learn to play? The violin. It can be both joyous and melancholy.
3: How did your parents feel about you having a toy drum when you were a child? Since I don't think I ever had one I imagine they loathed the thought.
4: Have you ever taken music lessons? I have not; I am self-taught at playing the radio, though.
5: What is your favorite kind of music? I like bits of all of it. I do tend to be attracted to lyrics quite a lot no matter the music.
I like lyrics I can understand

3: How did your parents feel about you having a toy drum when you were a child? With 4 kids under 5 years old running around the house, we didn't need a drum set to shake the house.
4: Have you ever taken music lessons? Yes, viola and piano. I played the viola for a long time.

Strings are fun to hear
Delete1: Have you heard a symphony play live and in person? Nope.
ReplyDelete2: What instrument would you like to learn to play? The harmonica/mouth organ.
3: How did your parents feel about you having a toy drum when you were a child? I didn't have one. They had not been invented at that time.
4: Have you ever taken music lessons? Yes. Horrible, unkind piano lessons.
5: What is your favorite kind of music? Self-penned songs from the heart - usually by singer songwriters from the folk music tradition.
Many people have bad piano experiences in their youth
