I used to play trumpet and the mellophone (like a french horn but without so many bells and whistles), but I gave up when I started high school.

Ooh I love Canon Rock, Jacob! 8) The original by Pachelbel is one of my favourite classical pieces, but the electric version is so awesome. |

I love both versions to bits, both are excellent pieces of music.

Jacob: Kudos to you! Canon Rock sounds really difficult to play.
I really should return to piano again - I want to learn how to play Canon in D Major. |

i asked people at my school and most of them didn't know that there is such thing as drumming music. they thought you just go along with the song xD
i'm trying to do linkin park drum covers. |

If I was to put a ranking on it, I'd say it would be the second hardest piece I've ever had to learn, due to the fact that it's medium difficultly... Up until the "chorus", the sudden change of difficulty earns it second.
First hardest by a huge shot is "Flight of the bumblebee" which I still have trouble playing correctly due to the speed on it. It's insanely fast.
EDIT:
i asked people at my school and most of them didn't know that there is such thing as drumming music. they thought you just go along with the song xD
Well, drumming is probably the core of all music that involves it to an extent, it sets the beat, which is vital for the guitarist, vocalist, ect.

I have a fairly decent singing voice when I want. I also used to play the guitar, although I'm quite out of practice now. <_<
I've also been experimenting with making music in Mario Paint. It's fun! |

Recently, scientists have discovered that for reed instruments (clarinet, saxophone etc.) the player has to use their voice box to hit the very highest notes possible with it. Sax players sing high notes - as an ex-player of a brass instrument, I want to say "No duh, that's what you *do* to hit the high notes" but at least they're researching things and finding out stuff.

Hehe. I used to be able to play Beauty and the Beast (this version - obviously that's not me playing. ) on piano, but I haven't played it for ages so I can't remember how to play the whole piece. It's a shame because I really loved playing it. If I ever get round to re-learning it all again I might upload a video.
I really wish I was still having lessons, but my old piano teacher was a bit of a dragon. She's 71 and has a very old fashioned attitude towards teaching - would really shout if I failed to grasp something, or if I played wrong notes she would literally slap my hands off the keyboard. Anybody ever had a music teacher like that? |
