Instrumentality

Played clarinet from third to eighth grades, but I never really got into band the way most band kids do. I quit and started playing piano at 15 because it was something musical, yet I could do what I wanted with it and didn't have to play the assigned band stuff.

My piano teacher recruited me for a church that direly needed an organist in early '97. I took organ lessons instead of piano for a year, and have been the resident non-religious church organist for - wow, six years now. How time flies.

Oddly enough I don't have any natural ability or talent for this, and I'm still pretty mediocre. But I get by well enough that they haven't fired me yet.

Heh...I was a non-religious choir girl in church (when i actually went) and cool, organs have cool sound...

flutes rule, as do violins (both work amazing, as folk metal kicks ass.)

mmmm, violins, an old favorite of mine, saddly i never tried it. As a kid i really liked Celtic music, particularly stuff with lots of insanly fast violin work in it, such as Ashley Mcisaac. i'd still want to try but then thats jsut too much on my plate ... or is it?

but folk metal? hmmm, intersting ... i'll need to find some band's and look into them. Sounds somewhat promising.

yes, they do.

Tho I'm not as partial to the flute as I am to the violin.

There's an awsome punk band with a violin, called Yellowcard.
