1. What instrument(s) do you play, and for how long have you played them?
*Violin- 12 years
*Piano- 1 1/2 years
*Percussion- 5 years
*Recorder- a few months
*Voice- since I came out of the womb.
All self-taught also. ;)
Well, my older cousin helped me on the violin a bit, but I re-taught myself in sixth grade, if that makes any sense.
2. How familiar are you with music theory and composition?
Well, I've been taking music classes at school since fourth grade (I'm now in ninth grade)...
3. Are you a composer, and if so, how do you classify yourself? (Ex. Fair, good, excellent)
Good.
4. Besides Queen, who else are your favorite artists?
Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Guns N' Roses, Scorpions, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones.... The list could be interminable.
*Just a note*: I've been a professional musician in my uncle's mariachi since I was two years old. You don't believe me? Just look at how long I've been playing the violin. ;)

1.What instrument(s) do you play, and for how long have you played them?
Violin=5 or 6 years.
Piano=10-12 years, more or less depending on how you think about it, I guess, should that make any sense.
2. How familiar are you with music theory and composition?
Familiar enough. I take lessons in piano, and in orchestra it's mainly in school and I've had lessons on and off for the violin over years. I know a lot about music composers from reading and learning stuff, I suppose.
3. Are you a composer, and if so, how do you classify yourself? (Ex. Fair, good, excellent)
I've never composed any legitimate music in my life. Reminds me... Did you know that Balakirev wrote "Islamey" and later admitted there were parts in it that even he himself, the composer, for God's sake, could not play?... xD
4. Besides Queen, who else are your favorite artists?
I could go on for hours. Lots of rock and pop people. Classical guys like Rachmaninov and Beethoven and Strauß and Stravinsky. :D And much more.

Very farmilliar - my greatgrandfather was a famous composer.
3. Are you a composer, and if so, how do you classify yourself? (Ex. Fair, good, excellent)
I am indeed - and I am excellent, just like my greatgrandfather, who was a famous composer.
4. Besides Queen, who else are your favorite artists?

I sincerely hope you realize 'real music' is a matter of opinion.

Well, I suppose I can relate. I haven't performed in a group since June of 2007. Since then, I haven't practiced my trumpet as much as I used to, which was quite a lot; however, I have excelled in my composition skills and overall musical knowledge. To be honest, I feel much wiser as a musician, but performance wise I'm desperate for some action. Terrible, ain't it?
Anyway, much luck to you, my friend.

What a wonderful list of classical composers! I really adore Rachmaninov; especially his 'Les Larmes'. The first time I heard that piece of music it was during a walk in the midst of a wondrous snow fall. Now whenever I hear the song that's what I think of. It's simply beautiful.

And what about your album?[/QUOTE]
:)
yep, as i said, i cant read music notes at all! ive always had a knack for playing by ear. so i go with that.
well a little bit. but long story short, i have math (numeric) dyslexia, which is actually related to reading music notes as well. i cant tell when notes go up or down, or what comes first or what note it is. i get numbers and symbols backwards, so reading notes for me is futile.
the album will be out sometime this year! i have been making drum n bass demos for the past couple months, and teaching myself guitar, so i can apply that. im signing to my friend's new record label. we will be helping each other out in making each other successful. my goal is to have it out by fall. so hopefully you all will be hearing me then :)[/QUOTE]
What procedure should be followed by those interested in a signed copy? :)[/QUOTE]
hehehe!
well raf, when that day comes, ill let you know!
im glad people are interested. ive been quite a tease with this album! but that will be good for promotion later, im sure! :)
