I think there was a New Friends meme along the line of ask me three questions and I'll answer them. Don't feel like you need to, though. Just if you have any, I will most likely answer them!
Always nice these.. will do it too! 1. Do you play an instrument or sing, or is your interest for opera purely that of a spectator/listener? 2. Which opera is your preferred one of all times? 3. Which aspect of social work is the worst for you?
1. I play a few instruments badly (viola, piano, banjo) and sing not badly but not well. I sing opera in the shower but don't have a voice that is well trained classically.
2. Elektra is my very favorite but Jenufa is sort of right up there with it. I love lots of others. There are only a few I wouldn't go to even for free. (Fidelio, Magic Flute.)
3. The paperwork/bureaucracy. It's awful and largely needless and makes me insane.
I knew we'd get along! Violist, Banjo, some sad piano for me, plus hand drums and now Uke. :D
I am actually a trained Violist that should have been in a pro orchestra, but went the direction of kids and such. I haven't been seriously hard core in years, but have started playing in the Playa Pops at Burning Man...extreeeeeme orchestra. I'm seriously thinking about taking lessons again. I'm not at a pro level any more, but I ain't totally rusted up either.
Alto Clef Alto Clef Alto Clef BAM! Now I need to get my 5th peg fixed on my banjo and get going on it again.
I was a bad violist, the one the jokes are about. I only played in high school and was lazy and didn't practice. I wish I had. I'm maybe about to take up fiddle and I guess being able to play in tune will come in handy!
