Here are a couple of stereotypes which I have heard from instrumentalists whom I have known:
<<<<>>>>
Some university students have noticed that instrumental students do better in sight-singing class than vocal students.
<<<<>>>>
Since instrumentalists always accompany vocalists and never the other way around, they get the idea that they are superior to instrumentalists. If they make an error in rhythm, they expect the instrumentalist to accommodate that error.
Here are a couple of jokes which I got off the Internet:
How many sopranos does it take to change a light bulb?
One. She stands still while the world revolves around her.
How many sopranos does it take to change a light bulb?
Two. One stands on a chair and the other pulls the chair out from under her.
I plead guilty to holding these stereotypes myself.
What is good music that you listen to to help you concentrate and ignore background noise. Mozart? Can you recommend me some good songs, preferably without lyrics?
Something like John Williams – Theme From Schindler’s List and Remembrances from Schindler’s list are good minor key songs. That I know of. They don’t have to be classical though. Just a good minor key song(s) that’s not emo eg “i want to kill my self” or mixed with too much major key. Any suggestions would be great thanks.
On many jazz recordings I hear by the great classic jazz pianists, they’re talking while they’re playing, not really trying to be heard by the audience. It’s more like they’re talking to themselves, like it helps them get “into the music.” What’s this all about? Are they just “being cool”? Or is it a trendy thing that they started doing, because one artist did it and they ALL wanted to imitate him?
