Why are all these little kids playing double-reed instruments?? They’re among the hardest instruments to play! This is why 7 year olds should stick to recorders… (Extremely annoying to listen to, but not painful at least!)
GROG Premium Member almost 14 years ago
I hated playing the Recorder.
CougarAllen almost 14 years ago
pschearer, nothing you could do could ever be sufficient to even the score! Mwahahahahaha!

hildigunnurr Premium Member almost 14 years ago
Destiny23, not painful no? I’ve had to teach a music preschool full of kids that can’t keep their recorders out of their mouths - it’s painful all right! My deepest respect for the teachers who do this for a living…

Participated in a piano concert hosted by my piano teacher and featuring her daughter on trumpet. The trumpeter was both “not-so-musical” and hysterical at the same time–red face and cheeks puffed out as wrong notes lifted into the air. My Mom and I were dying with laughter that we knew was wrong, but we just couldn’t contain. I can never forget this concert! (I wasn’t even so accomplished but the situation was a total hoot!)
