    Gorgeous, Kay, especially considering they're live recordings!

    Edit: at least one of my top 5 fave bits is the low Bb (?) in the Duparc. Rrrrrich.

    Now I'm sitting & can reply more than just "cool": I really like this! Your singing is expressive even tho I know barely a word of German and the panning is ace.

    Also I want to join in posting music but my only recent recording is a diction check of some Elgar I was practising today, and I had to sit on my earbud mic to stop it distorting like mad on the high notes. It actually sounds kind of cool! Like a gramophone record.

    ooooh a noise-makers thread!!!

    i've been playing the clarinet since i was 11... so, oh dear lord, twenty years now. yeesh. that's the instrument i have the most formal training with. i can also play instruments in the saxophone family, though i've never owned one. i've also taught myself to play the ukulele and mandolin, and am still working on guitar. and i have a penny whistle i'm learning, but it's so loud it's hard to practice at home. OH, and i can do that thing where i make sounds come out of my mouth, and those sounds match the pitch of the noise i'm imitating-- but i have zero training in that area, so i can't call myself a singer at all.

    i've considered making a thread to record myself playing songs i learn. because i want to keep learning, and i like making noises, but noises are better when you can make them at other people. they would mostly be mandolin, since that's what i'm currently working on, although i might get lazy and play ukulele or get ambitious and play guitar sometimes. if i do, first up will be "You'll Be Back," from Hamilton.

    I and my voice aren't feeling very well, so we did no serious work because after one try we realised it didn't sound very well.
    We did YouTube 'roulette' instead :P We started with the song I had been singing (Brave by Sara Bareilles) and then just turned on the mix option that YouTube had, and in the end I had sung loads of songs, and none of them out of key XD. We eventually stopped the mix at Teardrops on my Guitar by Taylor Swift.

    It was a fun way to spend an hour long singing lesson :)

    Erica occasionally vaguely like a person

    My choir (sort-of-choir idk we have a teacher we sing things but there's only 6 of us) had a performance today? (by which I mean we were put in a room in front of friends & family and tried to do our thing)
    Reflection (except in swedish haha) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1hdNCgfP2UDQzJxWEZQSVA1QTA/view?usp=sharing
    Jamaica Farewell https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1hdNCgfP2UDZ1U5X2NiLU5DMGM/view?usp=sharing
    I Feel Pretty: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1hdNCgfP2UDN1VtZVM0VXJWVk0/view?usp=sharing
    (pls let me know if any of those links don't work btw)
    if u want to look at only one of them go w the last one probably
    my family assures me it sounded better live than it does in those
    i sure as hell hope they're right >.<

    ((guess which one's me))
    i'm the girl w a round face and glasses, in blue, who gets the honor of holding out the BRIIIIIGTH etc in I Feel Pretty when everyone else does the other thing,,
    I have such stage fright it's ridiculous but HEY i didn't cry this time and towards the end of the last song i was actually feeling vaguely comfortable! progress! (still gonna be disappointed w my performance during Reflection though because i can normally belt more of the song than that i shouldn't have to switch to my headvoice during that much of it >:I )
    also, discovery thanks to choir: apparently i am a soprano. who knew??

    That sounds neat! Your solo bits in I Feel Pretty are wonderfully confident and shiny.
    Always true. Live stuff creates an energy & atmosphere in the room that doesn't transmit in lower quality recordings. And every error (unavoidable in live performances) sounds much more obvious to you. That's why I complimented Kay on how good her live recordings were, a few posts above: it's a really hard thing to pull off.

    @EulersBidentity I meant to say an actual thank you for that and I totes forgot! oops. Also yes, the lowest note in the Duparc is indeed a Bb. Glad it sounds good! Also new sheet music envy jealous drool drool.

    I don't suppose anyone here has any idea how heavy metal is supposed to work. Also it turns out that what I have sounds better if I replace a lot of the guitars with violins and such.

    Like symphonic metal? And nah, I know nothing. *helpful post*

    Like you know those really fast shredding riffs that a lot of the more "epic" genres of metal have? They seem to sound better as violins than as distorted guitars. I have no idea if they would be easier to play on a violin than a guitar.

    If you post an example I can tell you how playable it is?

    (Edit: sorry, I still know nothing about metal. But I can play violin.)

    I don't know, maybe something like this

    It's definitely playable! I dunno about easier than on a guitar, but I think it's probably not more difficult.

    The other score I ordered arrived! My teacher lent his copy of this collection to me and I fell in LOVE, so I got my own.
