    do YOU want to play the TRUMPET?

    Compostition or performance?

    perfomance is an advantage, only beacuse the majority of the students do performance, which means that the teachers decide to have performance workshops during music class... and the few composers/musicologists are forced to go to the library or a practice room and work on their own... they get...

    Music Scoring/Composing Programs

    sibelius and finale are good for scoring cubase is good for more of the audio experimental type stuff rather than the actual scoring... like you can do cool effects like echos and things.

    you should play some fully weird contemporary piece where you bow under neath the strings and scrape your nails up and down the strings on the fingerboard and play your violin upside down and make lots of strange noises.
