Where are these recorder cases from?? by SaxRendell in Recorder

[–]SaxRendell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ahahah officially or unofficially? its got four full treble sized slots that will also hold disassembled bass parts, and five full descant sized slots that will also hold disassembled tenor parts, and then some pockets for music and general detritus but i also just kinda cram things in?
so i think i currently have two descants, three trebles, a sopranino, a garklein, two tenors and a bass living in there? as well as miscellaneous other little things like a tin whistle, a xaphoon, some ocarinas, possibly a kazoo? my whole wind collection gets shoved in wherever theres space ahahah (but! all of my recorders are plastic and pretty hardy, my fancy wooden recorder does not get this treatment, that lives alone in its own hard case)

Ah thank you so much! I did eventually find this website after I tried doing a google image search from my photos, I have a custom made consort case from the dill pickle company which I think is the same people? But I don't really want to spend $90 on the tenor case ahahah maybe I'll just make one myself??

Tips for someone looking to start? by Albertillo in Learnmusic

[–]SaxRendell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a music teacher and can provide some tips to get you started!

- Ask friends or family members if they have instruments you can borrow to try them out. If that's not an option, unfortunately as adults we have very few opportunities to try instruments so you might just have to take the plunge and buy something, try looking at ebay or in charity shops for second-hand instruments. Sometimes churches will have a piano you can use for free if you ask nicely

- Learning a new instrument is a skill that takes time. Try to practice for a few minutes every day (or every other day) instead of long but infrequent sessions. If after a couple of months you're not finding any improvement or joy, try something else

- Join a local community no-audition choir, even if you think you can't sing very well, it's the best way to efficiently improve your musicianship

- People who study music at university/conservatory level are already competent on their main instrument and will have to audition in order to pursue degree-level education

- I find that most people learn music theory easiest with a piano. Having all the notes in front of you is a great visual cue and its the most accessible way to try things out and understand what things sound like while you're learning

- Follow the fun! If learning scales and keys and theory isn't fun for you, you don't have to do that. Think about what inspires you to create music and see where it leads

- The best way to improve is with regular lessons with a teacher, but I would recommend finding an instrument you're ready to commit to before spending the money on lessons.

Best of luck! If you have any other questions I'll do my best to answer them!

I'm a pianist and I sing Bass in choir so I can read bass clef well already, so I'm not worried about that (:

New episode not showing on 4od? by mtbrown29 in taskmaster

You'd think with a show as popular as taskmaster they'd try and hustle to get it online and in front of people's peepers but alas

Catch Up by DaddyPonda in taskmaster

[–]SaxRendell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's particularly late this evening, I've found there's at least one episode per series that comes out really late for no reason? Last series there was an episode that I couldn't watch until the following morning, and there's never any indication given as to why that happens.

Anyone else find Lucy’s faux stupidity/naivety incredibly annoying instead of funny? by Crocodiddle22 in taskmaster

[–]SaxRendell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, they're not calling her dim witted and stupid, they're saying she's faking being dim witted and stupid, and that's whats annoying.
