I love a capella music.
I'm in a mini a cappella quintet - a group of us decided to be the female answer to a barber shop choir and - you guessed it! - named ourselves The Hairdressers. Lol, as you can see it is a very title.
Anyway, we're currently trying to think of things to sing a capella as we love it so much. I was browsing youtube when I came

I don't know what 'capella music' is supposed to mean, but I just wanted to wish you luck on your exams!

*hugs*

that's sweet of you, thanks!
a capella music is songs that are sung without instruments. for example, people turn a piano part into something they can sing.. i.e. going 'doobeedoobee' instead of playing an actual note. that was a rubbish explanation but i hope you get what i mean :)
*hugs back*

Oh, no, that was a great explanation! But I guess I prefer music played with instruments. It's just that I like instruments sooo much!

I think 'capella music' would be great if played between friends, just to have fun :)

[kissmemalfoy]

I agree completely, that's exactly what it is :)
Acapella (it's two different words but linked together confusingly lol, like 'a lot') isn't the kind of music I'd like to perform constantly or even listen to for a long period of time but it's great fun - like you said. A group of friends and I did an instrument-less version of Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin and the audience loved it lol. The link to the youtube video, if you don't know the song, is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=yjnvSQuv-H4
It's fun just to mess about with :)

Oh god, tell me you've heard 'Title of the Song' by Da Vinci's Notebook?

[kissmemalfoy]

I haven't, no *hides face*
I sense I am hugely missing out..
*runs away to google it*
