Music discussion is very lacking here for. Compared to reddit. And yeah I know, ‘just post then’. But when I search for music communities here they’re empty. And it makes sense because no-one is posting. So kind of a catch 22.

now i dont exactly know how all this lemmy stuff works but… to all you musos out there, can you join me and search for music under communities (I’m using summit app) and just at a minimum subscribe to all the ones that you would be interested in(if they were popping off)?

At least that way when one of us posts, the rest of us will actually see it (I suspect).

Anyway. Keep making the world more fun for everyone else.

P.s if your not a musician, but you like golf or something, subscribe to the golf communities even if they’re empty.

    My degrees are in music

    Sometimes I wish I had better training. I grew up on Suzuki violin, but I never really studied theory. I survive on talent rather than skill, and am very thankful for the skill of those around me!

    People think singers aren’t good musicians as a rule and that’s total garbage.

    It is wild to me the way some of the orchestral musicians treat the chorus. Most of them are friendly and complimentary, but some of them sure seem to think we’re beneath them. Could just be that they’re not very socially adept, I suppose.

    We sing some really difficult stuff as a chorus and you have to know what your note sounds like before you sing it; you can’t rely on just knowing the fingering for your instrument.

    And this can be so terrifying for some entrances!

    It’s so much fun but also a great mental challenge. I’m thankful to have it in my life as my intellectual musical outlet.

    I agree 100%.
