Is it bad that I saw the video of the vacuum cleaner playing the harmonica and my brain immediately, without hesitation, jumped to this?

[orchestraordie]

I will never NOT be offended by the Spotify ad where it’s like “what about this one?” and then they play classical strings and the dude is like “SKIP” with literal disgust in his voice like boi u need a reality check and maybe u would be less moody if u listened to some cello music ok? ok

At work we listen to the radio and on the way to some other radio station sometimes it pauses on ABC Classic FM for a second and everybody complains and says ‘ew turn that off!’ Little do they know I listen to about 3.5 hours of Classic FM every day...

[band-quotes]

I feel like really early musicians had really dirty minds like, “hey, we should call the button combonations fingerings, hurhur”

[8th-note-boulevard]

“tonguing lol”

[atoneindvorak]

“You can’t just call this oral!”

“It’s okay it’s spelt differently they’ll never know.”

[you-had-me-at-e-flat-major]

……aural and oral are pronounced the same? ? ? ?…..

@omg-horns

[itsaviolathing]

^are they pronounced differently in other countries? Because for me, like Richard, they sound like the exact same word…?

[hexaviolet]

They’re pronounced the same as far as I know

[the-sassy-composer]

I pronounce aural like ar-al and oral like or-al, but that might just be me

[bassclarry-blog]

For me here in Australia, aural is ‘oar-ral’ and oral is ‘o-ral’

SUDDEN TEMPO CHANGES

[bassclarry-blog]

Instruments really are beautiful

[linkstoparadise-blog]

how high can you personally go on this horn?

[bassclarry-blog]

I can do a scale up to C (an octave above the one two ledger lines above the staff), I can get really high notes like F above that if you give me the fingerings, and I can squeak ridiculously high by gently putting my teeth on the reed. :)
