Seriously. Hahaha, it's alright though... because one day, they'll snap and kill all of thier co-workers. Watch, it will happen.

Great...as someone entering the work force soon that is absolutely soothing...(sarcasm)
hahaha

I'm all work and no play?

And I'm just saying, the off-topic section has a lot more posts than the actual music sections.

Which isn't too bad, I suppose...

I wasn't saying you were. 
I'm saying too many people are.

[kotorfanboy]

It's k.

Don't worry, hopefully as soon as the dang uploader script is finished, that it will solve that problem.

Ah, that might have something to do with the lack of music talk.

Well, lets fix that here! If they want us to talk music. then lets talk music!

Well, I play Irish fiddle and Irish flute and dabble in classical violin. I also play djembe which is the name of an African druming style that I am probably spelling wrong.

I play...

Trumpet
F-horn
Trombone
beritone/euphomium
tuba
flute
violin (little bit, still learning)
and last but not least... THE PIANO!!!

I wish I could play piano. 
Someone told me I could probably figure it out.

Most likely you can. I mean, if you can play the violin, then you can sure as much as play the piano too.

I really just need to save up some money and get a moderately decent keyboard...
Learning fiddle was entirely by ear and tradition. There is no sheet music invovled so violin is a totally different mindset. I never took lessons for it but I guess I do pretty well I guess to be seated in a college symphony.

That works, I've never had the honor of learning an instrument because of tradition. It was all because of interest. As for lessons, take them before you learn on your own. That way, you develop good habits and learn how to play the right way. Rather than developing bad habits, and it taking you longer to correct them. It saves you time and money.

Well, tradition is love in my family. Fiddle is an absolute joy to me...it's completely unique and your style is your own. No one will play it like I do and I can't play it like anyone else.

I don't know what bad violin habits I have...but for piano I wouldn't want to develop any because I could only imagine how hard they are to break.
