Musical Instruments

[dancingmaniac3]

i play the violin, piano, *DrUmS*, snare drum particullary...and the cello is the instrument that you need to sit down to play, and put it in between ur legs...its the size of 5 and a half violas. it makes a loud rich sound yes, but has low strings. the Bass is the reallllly huge one that u either pluck the strings for jazz music, or play with the bow in orchestra. u either sit on stool and lean on the bass, or u stand up and play if ur tough enough to withstand the backpain lol. in order from biggest instrument to smallest in an orchestra, Bass, Cello, Viola, Violin. violins are kick ass tho. i can play beethoven virus with my friends (violin, cello, electric guitar). its bad ass. we found the music from some music store. since it IS a real song that has a real artist of course.

Trumpet: C=0, D=1&3, E=1&2, F=3, G=0, A=1&2, B=2, C=0

Also, E=3 as well as E=1&2. The same is true with A.
Also, F=1, not F=3



French Horn can be played the same as trumpet, but it is in the key of F, so as you know, "C" on a trumpet is the same as the "F" on the French horn.
French Horn: C=0, D=1&3, E=1&2, F=1, G=0, A=1&2, B=2, C=0
Alternates:
D=1
E=0 or E=3
A=3
This means that on a scale, you can go 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 3, 2, 0.


Is your French horn a Double horn? Is there a fourth key for your thumb?
If so, you can hold that down and it changes the air flow to make your Horn NOT play in F, but in Bb, with the same fingerings as a trumpet, meaning it would be the EXACT same notes as a trumpet.


Sorry if this sounds like I'm speaking to a non-musician. I don't know what level of musicianship you are.

For the record, cello is pronounced chello. Rhymes with Jello. Etcetera.

It's that instrument. Search for a picture online on google or something. Look the word up in the dictionary or at www.dictionary.com. So many choices.

[dancingmaniac3]

omg...thank you qreepy for pointing that out. ive had ppl say..."so did you play the "kello" during the halftime performance at the football game?"...yes they pronounced it kello...and omfg...at a football game? wth?! who is that stupid to say that?!?!?! IDIOTS i tell you...IDIOTs. and what really gets to me, is like when u see ppl playing on t.v. and it looks totally fake. they hold the bow wrong, play on the wrong partt of the fingerboard and everything...i get mad.

[QreepyBORIS]

I have had the opposite. People spell it like "chello" and I kind of laugh silently in my head and smirk.

[Cenright]

Well, not everyone is musically literate.

Sigh. I think I'm going to miss the football games. I am a senior this year, so I have already had my last game. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

[dancingmaniac3]

isnt Chello how ur supposed to pronounce it? why do u laugh at them?...maybe u meant sello or something. i hate sophomore football. jv. ugh. gay. bored. nothing to do. no more pep rallies. nothing. no more hot cheerleaders after the game feeling my arms. ugh.

[QreepyBORIS]

I said they spell it like that. Not say.

[Cenright]

We don't have to do JV games. Just Varsity. Still, I'm going to miss the halftime shows.

[dancingmaniac3]

oh my bad qreepy. i havent had anything to eat or drink and im like tired. but yeah im only old enuf to do jv. it was boring when there was only like the team mom and stuff out there on the stands yelling and screaming for our team with all these foam fingers and t-shirts and hot dogs. lol

[Moogy]

[Tasuke]
