Musician Archive

One of the main reasons whyI chose to take the musician path is because I am one in RL. I play the saxophone. So my question is, how many of you chose the musician career because you are one in RL and what instrument do you play.

My degree is coming in the mail this week.

I play trumpet.

I play Baritone / Euphonium in high school. I am a junior. I'm in pep band, brass choir, one of my schools 6 concert bands, and marching band. I certainly an a band nerd, haha.

I'm a musician in RL. In fact it's my full-time job as welland thats why I started as a scout! The LAST thing I figured I should do is play a game as a musician to get away from my life as a musician, hehe. Well now I'm on my way to mastering musician. I guess some things are just too deeply ingrained to even virtually keep me away for too long.

Actually, the other reason I wanted to start as a scout is that before I started playing the game is seemed to me the whole entertainer thing sounded boring as all heck. "I just stand around and press buttons all day???? How boring!" In actual fact, most of my best times have been spent in the cantinas. Especially if I can roleplay with people. Once an entertainer always an entertainer!

Can't wait for new songs and instruments though. The "being able to write your own songs" thingsounded greatat first toobut I completely agree that I don't want to hear someone latest Britney Spears mockup in the cantinas. Just give us more variations for fourishes and we'll be fine!

Oh and your other question....I sing and play piano, guitar, bass, drums and flute

Heyo,

I'm the bass trombonist in the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra in Washington DC. I really only did the musician prof after I had a silent holocron. Gotta say, it is more entertaining for me than I thought.

One complaint. All the songs have a small "hitch" after every measure or two that totally disrupts the tempo. Annoying as can be...

For all of you who recognize my name, Tariq Bonghitter, my friend puffpuffpass (recently retired from SWG[way to go devs]) is our orchestra's tympanist.

I played in bands, off and on,for over25 years (Guitar, Base, & keyboard) before I gave it up. I really enjoy the way Musician has been put in the game. I have 3 accounts, but only room for one Musician on my main server, so my new goal is to put together a 3 piece band on the Test Server and hit the road again...

I know piano, and a little violin... I'm also a composer

I play bass guitar in a rock band, small time, done a few gigs, etc.

Classical and jazz piano, acoustic guitar, electric bass, chorus work, even one or two paying gigs in madrigal groups. But keyboards are really my thing. I had a piano teacher who wanted me to try to become a concert pianist. I didn't have the talent to "make it," but it was nice that I had a teacher who thought otherwise.

I've also dabbled in digital-audio recording. A couple years ago I made "birthday CDs" for a bunch of my relatives, using piano, guitar, and electric keyboards. You can spend a LOT of money on microphones, preamps, mixers, and other DAR toys. I also have recorded some of Mozart's 21st Piano Concerto using MIDI and SONAR: Ricky on each instrument part, courtsey of my MIDI controller. The Boston Symphony Orchestra has nothing to fear from me.

I play Bass Trombone and Tenor Trombone im also a student conductor in my high school band.

This one time in band camp ....

no I don't play the flute.
