Another random question. I am starting the GCSE music course this year and our teacher has given us all a questionnaire to find out a bit more about us. One of the questions looks like this:


I have no idea what to write. I think I'm going to end up crossing out the bullet-point numbers and writing the sentence 'I play the piano'.

A challenge to the other forumites...

1.I
2.Play
3.the
4.Piano

or

1. Piano
2. Clarinet
3. Bassoon
4.

1. Desperately
2. Trying
3. To
4. Improve!

Or maybe even

1. Small
2. Kittens
3. Being
4. Strangled

for my attempts at the higher regions of the clari register

Lois

1. I
2. Always
3. Try
4. Hard
deffo wins you brownie points!!
It depends what you think the others would write? I once totally misinterpreted an English task - it was to describe our homes....so I went along and wrote reams and reams of waffle describing every room in my house, to discover that everyone else had written something along the lines of "My home is a warm welcoming place"

1.I
2.Love
3.The
4. Violin

Progressing
Too
Damn
Slowly

OR

Wish
I
Was
Better

I think that sums up just about all adult learners, though.

Open
Minded
Lazy
Aimless

EDIT: or my signature would do!

Some slightly more sensible advice from me Why not take a look at your most recent exam report sheet and use some of the words from there? eg my g.8 flute said "intelligent performance" - and then you could put as quoted from grade X marking sheet so that you don't sound full of it!

I like this one, though I'd probably put "Orchestra" (or Band or Choir if that's your thing) in place of the Yay - not sure teachers appreciate Yays!

Pianist
Accompanist
Sight-reading genius
Modest

Interesting take on the word 'four' there!

For me : Happy woodwind player. Yay!

"Sight-reading genius" is almost one word!

Keen
Improving
Late re-starter

It can be read in one go, certainly

Pretty rubbish - getting better.

Plays

Notes
Sometimes!

Sightreading
Synaesthetic
Mezzo-
Soprano

Judith!!! You must NOT put yourself down...you are fab and getting fabbier by the day!!

You didn't hear my sight singing yesterday ... or my siren-ing up and down an octave, which in reality was up and down a seventh. Pretty clever really, I bet that I couldn't do that if I tried. I blame it on practising l to t, in a S&P for a conducting piece.

Oh, wow, if you're doing S&Ps for conducting too...you will be fabbier still!!!

My four words for myself at the moment would be 'Needs to practise more!' or '(No,) I don't play flute!'

Procrastinating


I'll finish the list later.

I was feeling BAH this morning but your post just really made me laugh, Crotchetymum - so thank you!!

This sums me up but perhaps nutter could be replaced by forgetfull!

Yes I am considering using that but replacing nutter with pianist.

My pleasure I hope the rest of the day goes better for you

Not
Yet
Good
Enough

This probably applies to all musicians - does one ever get good enough?
(though I suppose I am "good enough" to make a living out of it)

My sig says all

If you want to be modest I'd go for either:

Very
Very
Very
Good

or:

I'm
Better

You

or possibly:

The
World's
Best
Musician

Trying

1. More
2. Enthusiasm
3. Than
4. Ability

1. A
2. wannabe
3. famous
4. violinist

Becoming better - but blonde!

or

Well

Well not if one "has aspirations".
Of course there is "fit for purpose" which equates to "good enough".

Hmm...

1. Four
2. Words
3. Aren't
4. Enough

Lol, nice idea but I'm not blonde.

Good idea. If my teacher makes a fuss about it being a sentence, I might just change it to that...

Well, I handed it in with the words 'I play the piano'. Oh well, if she doesn't like it, tough!

Today in our lesson we also had to do a little 'musicianship test'. I finished it in about 4 minutes, which was annoying because I then had to sit there for another 10 mins We had to identify notes in 3 different clefs, name major key signatures, write out 2 scales, put in some time signatures and identify 2 written-out tunes (without singing!) - which were Happy birthday (easy) and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (which took me slightly longer!).
