Our Life

Since the launch of iPhone, for iPhone third-party software such as springing up accordingly, overwhelming. At this point, I would recommend to you 5 classic iPhone music software.

1. Pandora

Benefits: Direct and easy to use, there may be a user account data, the interface will show good-looking album cover, music selection was good.

Disadvantages: “skip” function be limited, each song will jump out of advertising, there is no community features.

Instant Recommendation: If you only for your iPhone or iPod Touch install a music program, then select Pandora bar, it is for those who were eager to hear the new songs are a good entry procedures.

2. Last.fm

优点：社群的相关功能很多，推荐音乐的方式也许是最干净利落的、可让你在播放列表里加入个别的专辑，方便之后叫出、可让你为专辑上标签并直接从iTunes购买、我们没看到广告。 Advantages: a lot of community-related functions, recommended music, perhaps the most clear-cut manner, it may allow you to play list by adding the individual albums, called out after the convenience that allows you to label for the album directly from iTunes purchase, we do not see the ads.

Disadvantages: Interface not as Pandora and Slacker less direct, for failure to join the Last.fm community users, the more worthless, and we have listed here a little slower compared to other music programs a little “skip” function be limited.

Instant Recommendation: Last.fm provides the functions of buttons, label, and so shows that it is the most depth and the most functional iPhone music, one of the procedures.

3. Slacker 3. Slacker

Benefits: Direct and easy to use, there may be a user account data, the interface will show album art look good, heart-shaped icon with the ban allows you to broadcast in accordance with their preferences or not to broadcast certain songs, listing radio page will appear sketch album cover looks pleasing.

Drawbacks: “skip” function be limited, there is no community features.

Instant Recommendation: quality, speed, provide access to music channels is that each mobile phone of the most important part of music programs, Slacker in these three areas are subject to outstanding & mdash; it’s worth to any one do not want so much advertising Pandora people to download.

4. imeem 4. Imeem

Benefits: Unlike other music programs, through imeem you can from the “cloud” on the link to their own music library as part of providing some useful features based on your tastes, pick out some music, some singers or recommended by the provision of share function, there is a convenient browser interface.

Disadvantages: some general restrictions on the network broadcast ( “skip” function is limited and can not then play the same songs a different singer), unless you pay the annual membership fee from their music library or listen to songs only 100.

Instant Recommendation: remove the link from the clouds to your music library this point, imeem between the rest of the function of just the simplicity of Pandora and Last.fm in between personalization and community features.

5. iheart radio 5. Iheart radio

Advantages: Most of the metropolitan area from the United States receive radio broadcasts, sound quality is generally better than the standard FM radio, and fewer than the standard FM radio ads, there is an interesting “shook” (Shake It) function can be radio random arrangement.

Disadvantages: Lists of radio stations controlled by Clear Channel and other companies, meaning you will not find any more cool, independent production channels, the recipient of some good radio.

Instant Recommendation: If you and miss you like the Top 40 Growth of the Service (or where you go to school, etc.) the most popular radio station, iheart radio station can provide you a memorable re-pipe.

These are all good music, software, hope you can find your favorite, if you have a better than here iPhone music software, please share with pineapple!

Yea lets discuss anything music related in the metal genre. Thus it must be Metal, Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom Metal, Speed MEtal, Thrash MEtal, Symphonic Metal, Heavy metal, Metalcore, Hardcore, Power Metal, Progressive metal, and Psychadellic metal.

I am infinitely more troo kvlt than you.

sure, DREAM THEATER RULES

All I know is: My boyfriend absolutely loves it, and I can't see why.

Some of it isn't so bad because behind all the roaring and the static and noise… there is a melody which can be called music.

But then there's stuff that I can't find any sort of music to it other than some inconsistent percussion. It seems to me like metal is just about making noise and getting in as many obscure time signatures into one song as humanly possible. And playing meaningless scales really fast, over and over… and over.

well then it depends where in the metal field your talking about. Much of like hardcore and metalcore is pretty much talentless and pointless, where as true metal bands like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, etc ahve a structure to their song even a lot of power metal bands follow chord changes and modes for soloing. Much of which can be related to jazz theory

You see? Exactly!

But noooo. He listens to Death, Death Human (I think it was?), Lamb of God, Old Man's Child, Children of Bodem, Messugga.

If the great classical composers were alive today, they'd be playing prog-metal.

Listen to "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" by Dream Theater, or, say, "The Accolade" by Symphony X, and you can't deny that it IS good music.

Death (one of their albums is called "Human", so that's maybe what you're thinking), and Meshuggah are excellent math-metal.

CoB are progressive in their own right, though not as good as those two.

Lamb of God and Children of Bodom ahve a very unique structure to their creation, (trust me i did a full analysis of CoB music for my english final), as for the others i havent listened to as in deoth so Im not to sure.

o.o INCONSISTENT?

Have you never heard of odd-time polyrythms?

wtf is math metal?

It's bullshit. -_- I've taken Theory classes up the ass. All these time changes are idiodic and pointless, other than to say that they can do it.

Math-metal is the must purely theory-based music out there, other than serialism. Look it up on Wikipedia.

And then go listen to some Behold… The Arctopus.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_metal

Okay…

But wtf is my boyfriend, who is musically inhibited, doing listening to math metal? He just likes hyper music with plenty of noise. -_- He doesn't know what he's actually listening to interms of music.

That type of music is very…. very jarring. Very intense.

I like this I can sing along to, or… follow a story in my head.

He listens to lots of static. With roaring.

sometimes you dont need to understand it, which then falls into psychology and sociology in regards to preferences and tastes

You can sing along. Check out Opeth. One of the most angelic voices ever, followed by brutal, BRUTAL roaring.

Yep. I don't have a problem with listening to it, though. It's fine if I keep it in the background.

He has trouble with what I listen to, though. He tends to shut down…

lol I do end up vocalising along with the tracks, even if I'm just following the guitar.

so whT DO you listen to?

=P Almost everything.

But my favorite things to listen to are Trip Hop and Indie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZWWYHnPx1Q

Opeth.

I've heard them.

That link failed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgxkOKmNMUw

Try this DT link, then.

Nyeh, I copied and pasted the link and made it work.

And then I figured it out… None of the guitars or drums bother me so much… It's the ROARING. O.O I can't STAND IT.

I don't know why, but it drives me nuts… it's ALMOST as bad as the double bass drum being played for almost the entire length of the song. WTF? Somebody needs to learn WHEN to play, and when NOT to play.

Eh. That's metal for ya.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXWHOSo0zR0

What's this one?

i kinda figured the most people who dont really know music only know of the treble cleff. very few know of the bass. so i though that if you are one of the Down to earth people who live in the basement, whether played or sung, just leave a post. you could say what you like best to play, a funny anecdote, or just to say hi. but let us show everyone the support and structure of the band and/or choir and how big we really are.

let's include the people who love bases on this post too and you can state the reason why…I know i love me a sexy bass…mainly cause you know…hmm voice alone and im in love baby

i play the upright bass, and ive noticed for some reason, people dont always notice it, but when you take it out of a song, it feels like the heart and soul of the song is missing. Take Simonon out of Clash, McCartney out of the Beatles, or Ron Carter out of basically every jazz CD (as he IS the most recorded musician of all-time) and its just not the same.

if you are going to mention how people dont really know of the bass clef, try the tenor or alto clef, that's when things get all funky

I play bass and love it. The bass clef is much more comfortable for me to read than treble.

You know what would be hot? A bass clef tattoo in the small of a girl's back.

Or the Soprano clef… that's even less common… gotta love the movable G-clef.

I sing bass.

And we piano players have to play in both treble and bass clefs…

I play trombone–I think there are a lot of people out there who read bass.

I play electric and upright bass, and sing bass 1. Any bassist can probably back me up on this… UNDERMIXING! Big problem. Especially with guitars… I think bass clef and treble clef should be even… people need to get over high notes. They are cool, sure, but for some reason the masses find a pentatonic scale in the high range to be "amazing", but a cool harmonic minor bass line is just "a neat bass line".

i've played the double bass for many years… and im missing it … im thinking that it's about time to join the campus orchestra! i agree though… the bass instruments are always undermixed.

I play the trombone, and being forced to learn several other clefs, I can honestly say that bass clef is my absolute favorite. I play the tenor trombone but I looove playing pedal tones. It just feels good!

I wholeheartedly support the cause of bass clef awareness. Theory teachers should teach it more often; it really makes treble clef people freak out when they have to use bass!

The bottom end is the heart and soul of music. Just look at my picture!

yeah i totally read all the clefs *pats self on back*

Yeah, I play tuba and electric and upright bass, and I would have to agree that bass clef is the best clef. My friend Mike would agree. He is a trombone player, and he has a kick ass tatoo on his right shoulder that at first glance is just a tribal design, but is really a bunch of bass clefs!

You think that the bass clef is underappreciated? Try playing the viola.

"What is that thing?!"
"It's an alto clef."
"A tenor clef?"
"NO! It's an alto clef."

No one uses the alto clef. Except for us.

i sing a Bass 1… so i am not as "down to earth" but i try. my favorite part about the bass cleff is making places rumble, or cutting through the soprano's with a rhythmic sound.

Electric Bass all the way But I also appreciate the treble clef and play alto saxophone, electric guitar, tenor sax, and clarinet

Yeah…I have a music editing program and I was like "WTF I've never even seen these before!" lol.

We should use the tenor and alto cleff more

And I'm not actually sure I should post here, considering that I'm a first tenor…hehe.

GO TENORS!

Tsk tsk tsk!
I play bass trombone in jazz and I've got to say – it's great!

I read treble, bass, tenor and alto clef. But as a cellist, bass is my clef that I most encounter. electric bass rocks though. play that too

you know youre a bass cleffer if you can read through your Aural Skills/Sightreading material written in Treble Clef and actually think ending on "fa" sounds a ton better.

Since I've been playing piano since first grade, and played clarinet for 3 years, I've known the bass cleff for about the amount of time that I've known the treble cleff. Plus, I sing very low, so occasionally at church I'm called to sing with the guys often, which means bass cleff time!
Honestly, once I got used to it, I prefer reading the bass cleff over the treble cleff. But that's probably just me.

I'm a bass in my school choir, but my Voice teacher has me sing all this baritone stuff. Therefore, I see both cleffs all the time, and I'm a singer. It just winds up confusing me, because I'll think no way man, that note's too high, but it'll be bass cleff and I'll have it no problem. It messes with my head man. I prefer the Bass Cleff, entirely.

I've been playing the TUBA ever since fifth grade (had to sit on phone books to reach the mouthpiece!). Therefore, I've been reading bass clef even before most of my TC baritone friends knew what a clef was. Since then I've moved on to bigger, better, and badder tones such as the double bass, and the electric bass. What can I say? Guitar is ok (also played by me), but bass just dominates all!

I'm a clarinet/oboe/saxophone performance major and will be studying flute and bassoon in the next few years, but I decided/had to join choir. Reading bass clef was unbelievably frustrating at first, but as I took Class Piano and sang more and more, it became easier. As of recently, I am pulling a Theatre minor and possibly voice in the future…yay for possibly having work upon graduation from grad school?

Well, I find it funny, I've been singing since I could (yay children's chior, and boo children's chior, I hate hearing myself from back then, granted I had an ear and sang in key, but still… ew) anyway, I was still able to sing higher than all the girls up until my freshman year (yeah four octive range with falsetto… haha…squeeks) but that all changed during highschool I was down to a tenor 1 by the end of that year, tenor 2 my sophmore year, bass 1 my whole junior year, and then a (well, still not quite the entire range, down to an E flat) by my senior year. Out of all the parts to sing, tenor was fun, but bass is the best!

I also play Bass guitar (sadly never really bothered learning to read off of the staff, self taught = not the best teacher, though no lessons worked pretty well for voice, shucks) back to the point. I agree on the undermixing, especially in rock. I'm playing and have my bass turned up to the point where I can finally hear it and get told by the guitarist (who is in charge of the band) to turn it down. I don't know how many times I've played for praise and worship, turned the volume knob to zero just to see if I could tell much of a difference and nothing.

Bass is amazing, and I better stop rambling on and get some sleep.

Bass clef rocks!

just to let you know kiddo if your singing baritone its still going to be written in the bass clef the only time you might see a treble clef is if your singing tenor dude sorry to burst your bubble

Bass clef is awesome.
being a Music Ed/ Bassoon performance/ composition triple major I thoroughly enjoy watching people freak out when they get to tenor clef and the movable clefs.

I would be G sharp minor
:)

A minor

b minor (harmonic)

E Major or A minor

C# minor
or Db major

Ab minor….. reason? i dont need a reason.

E flat for some weird reason i said that when i saw the title

A Major really excites me for some reason. I love everything I hear in A Major. A or F Major. One of the two.

D major. I don't know why. It's just a happy key for me.

Yeah, D major. It gives me a warm happy feeling inside.

Eb or Bb minor. Feels dramatic.

Definitely a melodic minor, which one i do not know? but it would have to be melodic minor. the majors get too boring

B flat major….DUH

G# mixolydian

i know it's not a key but it sounds so cool

i would be G major…my favorite key

depends on my mood,
either g major
or
c minor

either E major or B major.

My first response was the key of W…

But seriously, F# maj

F, F#, B flat or E flat minor, preferably Dorian mode.
C# major, preferably Lydian mode.

A Minor Melodic (the TRUE folkscale, it lies deep in the heart of humanity…)

A minor (natural) or C minor (natural).

G major…..i dont need a reason…i have none…i just like it

I'd be some sort of Lydian, 'cause I'm a little sharp in the middle.

definitly A major

A Lydian. Definitely. Or anything Lydian really.

D major.
although i also love D minor.

Db Major

Bb major =]

D major, definitely.

D minor. THE best.

I really interested to see who I look like . . .

corbin bleu

Audrey Hepburn

Julia Stiles

I cant tell..

Jacky Kennedy

oh mann… u really do remind me of someone but i cant remeber their name… damn

Erin Sanders. (Quinn off of Zoey 101)

DENZEL!

Hugh Jackman!

wtf? ppl say i look like jake gylenhaal, but whatev

you look like jodi applegate

def. jake

can't really tell..sorry.

tyra

um…from here you kind of look like Julian Lennon.

It may be just me but i name my instruments

I have a piano named Mister bob

And a Violin named Mrs bob

lol me and my friend lauren both had buffet clarinets so they became mr and mrs buffet but we pronounced it (buff- ett)

my oboe's name is flo or floboe

my flute's name is Melody

omgosh! this is absolutely amazing! yeah, my french horn is elanore, or ella for short…and my trumpet is bob… : )

my first flute is named Belle
my second flutes name is Jasmine
my piccolo's name is Tinker Belle

and my trumpet is Fred

i need my electric bass named. it's a 4-string, polished maple look. anyone have suggestions?

"syrup"

or a more loving name…"sugar"

haha

sounds too much like a hooker. got a female name for it, perhaps?

delilah

and i have NO IDEA why i just said that.

my violin's name is charlotte and my guitar's name is samuel.

daniel, i've found these names are quite suitable for the bass: heather, jessie, carly, susanna, and phoebe

naming instruments is a fabulous time! be creative and go with your gut!

wow i'm such a music nerd. 'be creative and go with your gut?' you'd think i was talking about making a huge decision or something! :)

omg this is awesome. Yeah, my first flute was Phoebe, and my current flute is Frenchie..
I have a friend who named her cello King Dorbinhoffer IV. Dorbie for short. :D

I haven't found a name for my new clarinet yet, any suggestions?

Selmer, black plastic/wood body, gold keys ligature etc.

Anything that seems right, it's impossible for anyone here to think up something you love.. it's up to you!
I'll make one suggestion though, I love the name Clara for clarinets :)

Wow, I feel soooo band geeky lol

I have a clarinet and thanks to the inspirations of Marching Band the year we performed West Side Story, I've called my clarinet Maria ever since

My sax is called Guadalupo. And I love him very very much.

my clarinet was named fuzzy. my bass clarinet was named tequilla, because that was the first song I learned to play on it.

viola=vivan
tenor sax=ronaldo
barytone sax=bari
bass clarinet=bebe

my old viola was called Verna (because of Verna in SOT series)
my new one is called Valentine because i got her (it?) on february 13th

My oboe's name is Vito because he came from Italy so I named him after the Godfather and the English Horn I use/borrow is named Bentley after my Aunt's English Bulldog

my bass clairinet is named teresa

i have a buffet clarinet so i named it jimmy.
like jimmy buffet.

I have a 5-string bass and I named it "The Beast" because it gets pretty low and growly sounding.

My clarinet's named Kiki (it's a long story/inside joke)

And my alto sax is named Jake after my best friend who lives in Kansas (he named his Jessica, haha)

I've tried to name my instruments, but I mostly fail…I think I have instrument name committment issues. My French horn was Chel for about 3 days before I decided that it works better without a name. However, one of my best friends named his cello Paco, and he's managed to stick with that name.

I named my first saxophone max……' Max the Sax'.

Any ideas for my new one?

So, my friends and I have this semi-unspoken rule that your instrument should be the opposite gender as you are… so my viola's name is Pierre, and my friend Tif's violin is named Damien, and of course they are best friends. When we talk about orchestra and our instruments our other friends give us weird looks cause they think we are talking about real people But, I love Pierre sooooo much!

my flutes name is Darla… sometimes Darla is not cooperative… she does not always do what i tell her to… it is sort of a love hate relationship

….I call the jazz band keyboard "dinosaur"….

My mellophone is named Jessica.

This list was assembled by me and the four other people in my AP Music Theory class. Some of them are inside jokes, but most of them apply to all. Enjoy!

YOU MIGHT BE IN AP MUSIC THEORY IF…

You’ve ever gone walking through a forest, looking for a V7

You’ve caught yourself harmonizing with the refrigerator, vacuum, or other
household appliance.

You analyze the radio.

You conduct the radio.

You have a default thinking button.

You know when to use it.

You wonder why there aren’t music stands in every classroom… after all; we need something to write on.

You can look at a piece by Bach and say, "You know, I think he could have gotten a much better effect this way . . ."

You dream in four parts.

You think world peace can be achieved through authentic cadences.

You feel the need to end Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony with a Picardy third.

You can improvise 16th century counterpoint with no trouble, but you frequently forget how to tie your shoes.

You frequently find yourself standing in the middle of the band room, clapping.

You can take attendance on one hand.

You enjoy the tang of a tritone whenever you can.

You like to annoy your friends and loved ones with deceptive cadences.

You only drink fifths, and then you laugh at the pun.

You aren’t embarrassed when someone tells you your chords are in open position.

You only sing tunes that make good fugal subjects.

You build chords around your clock, at least up to 7.

You’ve replaced your clock with a circle of fifths.

You think Beethoven was a slacker.

Mussorgsky’s "Hopak" gives you nightmares.

You know you Don’t Poop Like Mr. Albrecht’s Llama

You can hear an enharmonic modulation coming a mile away.

You have ever pondered what an augmented seventh chord would sound like.

Bass motion by ascending thirds or a sequential pattern with roots in ascending fifths immediately strikes you as "belabored."

When you're feeling particularly prankish, you transpose Mozart Arias to Locrian mode.

You keep a notebook of useful diminutions.

Those "parasitic" dissonances make you queasy, especially when left unresolved.

You have trained your dog to jump through a flaming circle of fifths.

You feel cheated by evaded cadences.

Every now and then you like to kick back and play something in hypo Phrygian mode.

You wonder why there aren't more types of seventh chords.

You wish you had twelve fingers.

You abbreviate your shopping list using figured bass.

You always make sure to invert your counterpoint, just in case.

You have ever told a joke that had this punch line: "Because it was POLYPHONIC!"

You know dirty acronyms for the order of sharps.

You pick out instruments from the music in cartoons.

You know that Bach is always right

You wear a “WWJD” bracelet, and interpret it as “What Would Johann Do?”

Your favorite pickup line is, "Would you like to raise my leading tone?"

You have ever played the how-many-episodes-is-too-many-episodes fugue game.

Your biological clock follows a non-retrogradable isorhythm.

You know how large a major 22nd is without having to count.

You only drink fifths, and then you laugh at the pun.

Your favorite characteristic of Brahms's music is the subcutaneous motivic
play.

You have ever played through your music as if the fingering markings were figured bass symbols.

You suspiciously check all the music you play for unresolved sevenths.

You’ve stayed awake all night because the dominant seventh wasn’t resolved.

You wonder what life would be like if you weren't in music theory

I don't take AP music theory, but I dream in eight parts: violin, cello, flute, organ, French horn, percussion, harp, and oboe. I can tell that I'm dreaming because the oboe is in tune. I wonder if this makes me strange.

- if you make 12-tone rows for fun
- if you randomly arrange songs you hear on the radio for band/orch
- if you've ever put a III chord in your composition just to piss off your teacher
- if you analyze songs on the radio as they play
- if you've ever seen if there is such a thing as too many suspensions

I HATE Picardy thirds….
And why aren't there more than 4 7th chords?

if your favorite teacher is in a music term spelling bee.

if you sing triads with freinds when your bored.

if you and your friends entertain yourself by creating polyrhythms with your hands, desks, pencils, or whatever you can turn into an ideophone.

if your know the pitch of the bell that rings in between classes.

if you make a tower of smarties.

Because then they are called octaves! ;)

Your favorite jimi hendrix song is "purple haze" because of the tritones.

you just love throwing bVIIs and neopolitans everywhere to piss ppl off…oh ya, and break every voice leading rule ever. don't resolve sevenths (frustrated seventh oh ya baby)

I know the pitch of the bell in my HS that rung.
It was a B.
^_^

I love theory though!

seriously, what ap music theory student doesn't break the voice-leading rules on purpose?

I love picardy thirds! and there are 5 7th chords. Major, v7, minor, half diminished and fully diminished.
the bell at my school was a 1/4 tone between B and Bb. gross.
-you analyze Bach chorals while doing your laundry
-you secretly love the modes, even if your theory teacher hates them.
-you have a favorite interval (TRITONE! WHATWHAT!)
-you wonder why you can't end your counterpoints on open 5ths (I mean, sixteenth century composers did it all the time!)
-you love the III chord, and sneak them in just to annoy friends and teachers
-you think sightreading on solfege or numbers is reatrded (hello, it sounds bad when you read in multiple parts, because the vowels don't blend)
-you analyze the chords on the radio
-you can't wait to getto break all the rules they make you learn for partwriting.
-you think voice exchanges are heavens way of telling you your counter point is perfect.
-you love suspension chains
-you analye the musical theatre stuff you listen too(JR brown is annoying as hell to analyze)
-you dream in augmented chords
-you know what chord goes with every daily situation, and frequently sing melodies based on certain triadswhen in them.
-you harmonize to your friends teapot while the wistle is blowing (it was a c5)

No love for the minor-Major 7th chord? :)

My HS didn't have AP MusTheory

My friends and I definitely tuned empty glass Coke bottles to fully diminished seventh chords on our choir trip to France…

my bike bell rings at an A8 (midi octave notation, that is). it's a little flat, but i'm okay with that. my motorola is do-do-mi-sol in CM. i like that

building diminished ninth cords with five people while waiting in line for anything not only kills time, but evokes awesome reactions from people who think you can't sing

Haha. That reminds me of one time when I was with a bunch of Music Majors and one person sang three notes that we all recognized and the rest of us followed suit with the Tristan chord. It helped that we had at least one S,A,T, & B there, otherwise who knows what note we all would've chose.

I'm not in AP Music Theory, I'm just a huge music geek, as are my friends:

You've tried to orchestrate your non-music-geek friends into singing barbershop, and were horribly disappointed when it failed miserably,

You've written 5 part vocal pieces. And recorded them. Yourself.

Your glasses cloth gets used on your guitar strings more than on your glasses.

Your way of procrastinating from homework is a MIDI cable, an electric keyboard, and garage band.

You and a friend, after getting glass bottles and blowing on them to get that sound, are shocked and delighted to realize that you're playing a major 3rd.

The two of you add/remove liquid from the bottles trying to get a minor 3rd, a 5th, and a 4th.

You feel compelled to bring your bottle all the way home on the subway just so you can take it up to your piano and figure out what pitch you've been playing this whole time.

hahaha. I love my AP Music Theory class. And I'm the only kid in there who is in choir instead of band.

my bell rings an F when class ends and an Eb when the next class starts… and it's a little flat. The fire station's response siren is an F (a slightly sharp F).

A friend and I took a post-toanl theory class together. I moved into a new apartment two months after the class ended. He gave me a housewarming gift, a clock with three numbers replaced: 12=0, 10=T, and 11=E. Eat your heart out, Joseph Strauss!

Ours was a B too, but it was slightly flat.

-You have had lengthy disscussions in your theory class about how Fb's, E#'s, Cb's and B#'s should all be deemed ILLEGAL!
-You think there was no such thing as music Before Bach.(aka BB)
-You spend most of your homework time deciding whether or not a chord is V7 or a passing tone.

Our bells ring at an almost Bb. One of my old schools rang at a C# and one rang a a perfect A440. That made me soooo happy!

We have 17 people im theory class, two are self taught musicians, two (including myself) are in orchestra, two in chorus. The rest are in band, and three of those people are drummers.

Would you like to raise my leading tone? – Best pickup line *ever.*

Holy crap, those are hilarious. Our APMT class was the first APMT taught at that school… ever.

I miss that class like no other.

I STILL analyze every song that comes on the radio.

This AP shit must be American, I ain't never heard of it

I put a reverse plagal I-IV cadence in the dominant of a chorale I was working on just to experiment and it sounded like rock, I thought it was gnarly, my teacher laughed at me

I found out that my shower resonates in "F" and I also found my vacuum to be an "E"

You abbreviate your shopping list using figured bass.

That cracks me up!

I absolutely detest Picardy 3rds whyyyyyyy?!

my microwave hum is an E flat.

and i love piacardy thirds! (Bacardy thirds) Why the hate?

If you preform your whole show in the bathroom with friends

So, I see that a lot of people here play instruments and are band nerds and what not. Who hear sings? I do! To those that do sing: How long have you been singing? What genre of music do you sing?

I'm not a trained singer, but I love singing and I love singing classical, opera, art songs… lieder… all that kind of stuff. choral and jazz music are really fun too

I started singing choral music when I was really young with the Metropolitan Boys Choir.
I focus on contemporary music now, jazz, folk, screaming, whatever…

Haha, screaming…sounds like fun.

Yeah, art songs, arias and lieders are awesome. I used to hate singing opera-y music. Back in high school and middle school I only liked pop and some jazz. But now I'm trying to become a trained singer, haha. We'll just have to see how things go with voice lessons and what not.

I'm not the best singer but I sing a lot of Musical Theatre and Pop.
I'm a soprano and I've been singing more now that I go to school for Music Theatre – Performance at Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada.
I'm actually a dancer first, then a singer and then an actor.

I'm both an instrumentalist (piano and viola) and a singer. Uh, I will sing practically anything you tell me to sing.

I've sang pretty much my whole life, but no really formal training (unless you count being in a choir, but it's not like one-on-one training for that).

And I am a baritone.

I've been singing for the past 19 years. I sing mosty R&B/Pop, but I have a type of voice that can adapt to any genre of music…especially Country

I haven't been formally trained, but I've been singing in Church since I was 3 years old and I love singing Christian music. Anything from gospel to folk to rock. I love praisin' my Jesus!

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound…

I also like Schubert.

I sang for my school band 2 years ago and i actually really surprised myself. but it was also SOOO much fun. i sang a soul type song (everybody needs somebody from the Blues Brothers) and My Girl (i sang that with another guy) what's even funnier is i sang the high part, which NO ONE thought i could do lol

I'm untrained, but I've been singing progressive metal for a little over a year now. My voice sounds a little bit like Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth, mixed with a bit of Jon Anderson. I don't know what I can call my range: on a good day, I can go from D2 to E5.

That's not including the death-metal-style grunts I do as part of the music, either…

I've been singing in the shower since I was like… well, old enough to take a shower without drowning… and I joined theater in seventh grade. I started singing with school just last year (I've been in band since fourth grade) in the women's choir. Last year I made Districts and All-States in MA, and missed by one point this year (grrr… stupid scoring system.)

ive been singing for as long as i could talk but i started taking private lessons in 6th grade…i sing showtunes cause i do musical theater and right now im starting to sing arias in different languages that suit my soprano range

I've been singing since I was like 7, but I started taking lessons at 16. I sing mostly classical, then jazz (I try to for my group anyway lol), and then showtunes. I used to do musicals a lot in high school, but not so much now, so my belt pretty much went down the drain. I sang Alto in high school (with Soprano lessons, but was always put in Alto because I could sing harmony), and now my chorus director has me strictly as a Soprano 1.

i've been singing ever since i knew how to talk. i've never had training, unless you count choir. i sing mostly classical. i'm soprano, but i can also sing tenor. (i hate alto)

I did too only in MD (ditto). Good luck next year

I have been singing since I could talk. I sing soprano. I have been in 5 baroquial choirs and 1 show choir. I love classical, christian and showtunes, and I really don't like country.

I Love Singing in plays and choir conserts! I am a Alto in Choir Because I can Read Music well, but I am a soprano when I sing Solos I enjoy singing Opera and other classical music or Showtunes.

I SING! Probably since infancy lol. I love musical theater, it is my life…
i am tran-sectional, i sing all parts: soprano, second, alto, i get the best of all worlds

Oh yeah. I sing all the time. I'm in concert choir at my school and sing to the radio all the time! lol. And I swing b/w alto and soprano, but soprano is my primary part. Favorite genre is ROCK! yay

I sing….okay I guess; I've sung in 3 choirs but it's awhile since I've done anything. I like singing soprano; they get all the fancy solos!

I have loved singing my whole life but i have just started formal teachings & singing in my school concert choir 2 years ago and the jazz choir about 4 months ago and i dont plan on stoping anytime soon.

i have pretty much always loved singing.
but ive only been in a choir for two years now.
although its pretty much my life.
i am in 4 choral groups, all audition.
ima alto/tenor because i read well.
i like to think i have good range but all of that is debateable.
my faveorite stuff to sing ranges from operatic choral pieces all the way to screaming. ha

i'm not a trained singer or anything… but i LOVE to sing. people always tell me i have a good voice and i sing in front of church occasionally.

my horses also get a very good taste of my singing voice =D

been singing since forever (my school system was big on music lol)

wed always sing in the little grade school concerts.

in 4th grade i took chorus and did so up until highschool.

once there i auditioned for and made it into concert choir

ive also sung in the musicals there.

i also was involved in the whole orchestra and choir and drama department there. Good times ^_^. I sing pretty much everything^_^

Hey I sing! I've been singing since I was born! my mom told me that as an infant i used to hum! if that isn't a sign that i was meant to be a singer then I dont know what is Im a mezzo, but Ive got a great range and can sing anything in choir. I like to sing alto in choir though because singing soprano is so easy. It is just the melody. I sing mostly Classical and broadway but I also do a little jazz on the side.

I have been singing all my life, to the chagrin of my mother. I couldn't carry a tune to save my life when I was little. I started voice lessons about a year and a half ago (after spending a few years in church choirs and the like) so I sing lots of classical, hymns, choral music, opera, or musical theater. You don't want to hear me try pop. *shudder*

I've been singing for 11 years, ten in choir, this last one in the University of Delaware acappella group the YChromes. So now I mainly sing pop in Bass.

Just wanted to say that I love that your name is Seamus possibly the best name EVER!

Some people I know embrace the term "music nerd" while completely rejecting the term "music geek", feeling it has a negative aspect to it. Others insist on referring to themselves as "music geeks". Personally, how do you feel? Why?

For that matter, is there a difference between a "band nerd" / "band geek" or "choir nerd" / "choir geek"? What about a "piano nerd" / "piano geek"? How do you feel if called a "____ nerd" as opposed to a "____ geek"?

Is there any difference to you between being called a nerd or a geek?

To me a music nerd is someone who loves music and is really good at what they play. A music geek is more of a person who loves music ,but really doesn't know what they're doing. I'm kind of both.

I personally perfer 'Nerd' I don't know why. 'Geek' seems so negative. 'Nerd' seems the correct term. I don't knwo. Just the way my mind thinks. YAY FOR BAND NERDS!

I propose a new term to combine the two.

"Music Neek". Because that sounds better (marginally) than "Music Gerd".

Don't know where the monkeys fit in.

Music Moneeks? lol or nerk? Monerk? lol!

Ever since the earthlink comercial that said "a geek gets it done and a nerd doesn't" I have considered myself a geek. Nerd, to me, is negative and gives the picture of an anti social being sitting in the corner with no friends, studying for the AP music theory test. Music geeks are more social, may be talented, may not be, but either way live for music in a non-creepy way…if that makes any sense.

Hm, interesting opinions. The firmly "nerd" friends of mine say that "geek" brings to mind the kid in the back of the room with huge glasses and a tissue box permanently attatched to his hand who can't speak properly (or at least no one can understand him properly). It's funny to hear that some people think the exact opposite.

Personally, I prefer geek because a geek creates an image of someone marginally more quirky and eccentric like most of the musicians I know rather than the reclusive, anti-social nerd like Kira said.

I feel compelled to point out that historically the term 'geek' was actually the name of a particular type of sideshow performer who used to bite the heads off of animals (I think a chicken).

Just looked it up…

From the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
"1: a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake 2: a person often of an intellectual bent who is disliked 3: an enthusiast or expert especially in a technological field or activity."

At our school it's band nerds, but at another school in the district they go by band geeks. I prefer nerd, but that might be because I'm used to it!

I think that's how it is for most of us. We prefer what we're used to hearing.

well at my high school it was Band Geek and Chorus Nerd. My high school choir did surpurlatives so I would not mind being called a chorus nerd as I was voted biggest chorus nerd.

yeah, we also have Ork Dorks, but I think that's really common.

lol. I consider myself a Band Nerd, Theatre Dork, and Broadway Junkie.

Here's my definition:

Nerds=People who are really smart and enthusiastic in a field that is either scientific, mathmatical, or artistic (including literature).

Geeks=People who have no social skills and poor hygene. They may or may not be enthusiastic about one or more "nerdy" fields, but often are not smart enough in it to be a nerd. Many pose as nerds and are often mistaken as such.

yes! I view geeks as those kids by themselves at lunch, with the extra large rim glasses with duct tape around the nose piece, and are always sniffing and blowing their nose… ew…

ya know, why use geek or nerds then?
Instead, we should refer to ourselves and music genius!

ok im going to explain ..I am a "band FREAK" myself so i know how to explain this-

band member- a person who likes music and got in band to learn something totally new or just wanted to go for the trips..

band student- a person who likes music and band, who would help the band out and try his or her hardest to get the sections right and together…

band nerd- person who is there all the time helps with the paper work and basically dose everything needed to be done for the day..

band geek- hangs around the band nerd alot and dose the same things except times ten and is the band directors pet or aka second child or first lol

band freak – is the band directors most greatest student dose everything, even lines the field for marching, gets everone out side..is basically a band director with out the title..

nerd= you love music and are passionate about it and people respect you for it..
geek= the reasons why they make all those band camp refrences in american pie movies…thanks for ruining it for the rest of us haha

A nerd is someone who is knowledgeable in almost areas
A geek is someone who holds a vast knowledge in a specific area but not all
A dork is someone who is socially awkward with no real knowledge

All are ostricized because of their intelligence (or lack thereof) by the general populace, because really most people are idiots.

Everybody knows it's…
~Band Nerd
~Orch Dork
~Choir Queer
…and I'm in all three so don't say I can't say those things b/c they all apply to me…that's just the way it is!

i'd rather be a band nerd…cause i always thought a nerd was someone who was freakishly smart or w/e and a geek acted the same, but wasnt smart.

The way I've always thought of it is that generally, nerds are smart, do well, maybe have an interest in technology, that sort of thing.

Geeks are people who are like that, but also extremely socially awkward.

I believe a nerd can be a good title, but a geek is not something you want to be called.

I find myself more geek esc because in my mind the nerd is the one with all the book smarts…and i feel the geek is the over obssessive kid who is early to everything and prepared to the max all around lover of the geekdom.

geek just has such a negative connotation…i probably think that because of bad experiences in my childhood… if you believe in all of Freud's theories…but isn't nerd such a prettier word than geek?!

From the Meriam-Webster online dictionary

GEEK
Pronunciation: 'gEk
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from English dialect geek, geck fool, from Low German geck, from Middle Low German
1 : a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake
2 : a person often of an intellectual bent who is disliked
3 : an enthusiast or expert especially in a technological field or activity <computer geek>

NERD
Pronunciation: 'n&rd
Function: noun
Etymology: perhaps from nerd, a creature in the children's book If I Ran the Zoo (1950) by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel)
: an unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person; especially : one slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits <computer nerds>

Those are the 'official' definitions or the words.
In essence they are saying the same things so what any one person chooses to define a nerd or a geek as is up to them.

Personally I believe that 'nerds' are those individuals gifted with a certain amount of brilliance, capable of excelling in many different areas as long as there is some common element to those areas (ie. science, math, music. common tie is use of numbers in set patterns)

A 'geek' is very similar to the above mentioned individuals in which they have a certain amount of brilliance, but have only applied it to a single topic. (ie. computers)

Because of this single major differnce between the two, social skills have developed differently and 'geeks' have had less practice with their social skills and seem socially inept. (hard to achieve in a band setting) where as 'nerds' in their much more varied lives have had greater practice and just become annoying when they show off how much smarter they are. (yes a 'nerd' will do these things once in a while)

Now this is just my take on things, and some people may say 'well, i've called myself a geek all these years when this guy is implying i'm a nerd…' :O

As for my self, I don't feel as though I was ever a 'geek' or a 'nerd' due to the fact I was never the 'smart one' instead I felt that my abilities in music helped me with my math and science and my math and science helped me with music. I understood math better than most of my class, but once I helped them understand it, invariably they were better than me. but whatever.

Music is Life and life is dull without music

P.S Sorry for the long post….

i'm actually writing an article for my school newspaper on this. i always refer to myself as a music nerd…but never as a music geek. geek just brings to mind the glasses and the pocket protector

basically, i like what alexis said. i agree with it. even though, at my school, it's band geek, choir nerd, orch dorks. but whatever.
