Do join us Loon. You can bung the kettle on if you like.

I'll put the kettle on. I know nothing about organs - I do have a harmonica but I don't think that counts! laugh.gif

Tea? Biscuits?

miss_tickle_thea
Not particularly- at least, nothing that I know is organised (apart from when organists e-mail to ask for recitals/ can I try the organ etc). We have links with other churches in Yorkshire so I can play recitals there next year.

Kettle sounds like a good idea!

Same here. Maybe it's got something to do with the fact I got a CD full of them for my birthday?

Hehe.
Thanks everyone!

Ooo sorry, I didn't mean to offend!
I just meant, that this particular audition was really relaxed, I mean it wasn't even called an audition they just said "oh hi are you going to play for us then?, okay dokay, take your time then." and it was soo informal, unlike an exam. if you get me?
Sorry if I offended you!


Thanks Barry-Clari

Hi Barri - how're you?


Hiya Rosemary - am just back from an SRP meeting, giving the tenor recorder plenty of exercise.

Gave the clarinet some thorough exercise this morning, and am now feeling like having a lazy evening, maybe a touch of television, some forum browsing, maybe some MSN-ing. Nothing too taxing!... biggrin.gif
Rosemary7391
I need to practise my clari... And the oboe... And recorder! And I've a scarily large pile of work... Something tells me I should not be here! laugh.gif I randomly ended up conducting orchestra yesterday for some reason. It was interesting, but I'm not used for conducting for an hour and apparently began to resemble a windmill at the end!

You're getting plenty of conducting practice in, aren't you Rosemary! Hope it's going OK.

I'm willing to bet that I get 'windmill-like' after a long time conducting...

Haha, thats the sort of thing I would do.
Or I would walk in, try and put music on the stand consequently knocking it over, try and pick it up and drop my violin and in the muddle rip my music and fall over myself.

I randomly ended up conducting orchestra yesterday for some reason. It was interesting, but I'm not used for conducting for an hour and apparently began to resemble a windmill at the end!


You're getting plenty of conducting practice in, aren't you Rosemary! Hope it's going OK.

I'm willing to bet that I get 'windmill-like' after a long time conducting...



Yes - I stopped after the random person who left school last year decided to start waving his arm in circles at me mad.gif Just because he's older than me and a brass player....

Nope you didn't offend me - that sounds really nice!! I hope any auditions I do go like that smile.gif I can see myself applying for music colledge then walking in and dropping my clarinet in front of all the scary people ph34r.gif


Haha, thats the sort of thing I would do.
Or I would walk in, try and put music on the stand consequently knocking it over, try and pick it up and drop my violin and in the muddle rip my music and fall over myself.

laugh.gif I did that quite a bit today, dropped everything!

How unhelpful of him. One wonders whether he's tried directing an ensemble for an hour before...

I know he has done some directing, but I don't think he has ever tried an hour. And I had a chat with one of my friends who said that I didn't look like a windmill! (Although I do wonder how many of them listen and watch me!)
petrat
Anyone here?
Rosemary7391
Yup, I'm here. How're you?
petrat
Hi R, I'm fine thank you. I have found that when I conduct my new choir I have to do a lot more sign language rather than anything resembling formal conducting as they don't understand it otherwise. I am sure that I look really funny. Was it the school orch?

Evening all

Hi KJ, any news?
katyjay
No news as such, Petrat.

Bit tired after London Recorder Orchestra all morning and SRP this afternoon. Good fun but took a bit of a toll on my shoulder sad.gif

Hi Maddy. I forgot. Well done from me too.
I can never get to like the sound of massed recorders. They sound like a large pack of wolves to me. Any sub contras there?

There was one substantial chunk of tree at the back during LRO. It was next to the Pezold contras, but I don't know that it was a sub-contra....

Edit: On reflection it would have been around 7ft tall, so probably a contra not a sub contra sad.gif

The funny box shaped ones! I want to make a subby.

That's the ones. When you make a subby, can I come and have a play on it?

Rosemary7391

If it's in a hard case, stand it on its end, put a hat on it, and say it's a hat stand.

Might work...

I'm hearing all this recorder talk, knowing full well I'm going to the Greenwich Early Music Festival next month!

Resisting spending my money on goodies isn't going to happen, is it...

I know 1 isn't enough.. I already have 4!! 1 Sopranino, 2 descants and a treble... Yay for recorders!!!
katyjay
They sort-of find their way into the house.

And every time another one arrives, Misterjay says "but you can only play one at once...."
Rosemary7391
But you can play many in succession smile.gif
