Taro T Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I missed this yesterday. Conductors do a lot. You might know when to play quietly or when to play loudly, but a conductor hears the entire group and if (s)he's not hearing the dynamics they want, they can get you to play quieter or louder than you thought possible. Also, there is no way I'm counting 64 measures of rest. I'm just going to listen for when I know we're getting close then wait for the conductor to cue us in.:lol: Soooooo, triangle or cymbals? :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking Ron Burgundy played the recorder rather than the flute. :doh: :wallbash: But considering many flutists & clarinet players got their start on the recorder ... Nah, still a bonehead. :doh: :doh: So, like Emily Lutella used to say, "nevermind." :doh: Edited May 8, 2017 by Taro T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 You tried. Such a majestic instrument. That's not fair, I suggest you look up the endless videos of guys long hair and/or beards playing LOTR songs on the recorder. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Now that my move to Buffalo as a permanent resident is less than two weeks away, I'm thinking about what I could do for a side gig. I'd like to make a little extra money to help pay down some debts, but I'd also like to learn how to do something new at the same time. It could even be something that starts as volunteer work. Trying to better myself now that my life will have a little more flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that vein, podcasting or some other media hobby could be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to better myself now that my life will have a little more flexibility.I hear you guys are getting Uber :) Another more useful suggestion- you could check with the local Boy Scout council in Buffalo. I'm sure they have inner-city programs like we have here in Columbus. We pay para-pros to work with kids in schools that otherwise couldn't have Scouting. A lot of these kids couldn't afford the program, and many of them come from situations where their parents can't step up as leaders just because of life circumstances. So we pay people to go in and run the program for them. It's usually an after school type of thing, at least for us. Once a week per school, with multiple schools participating and various para-pros assigned to a handful apiece. The para-pros don't get paid much (hell, I'm a full time professional and I don't get paid squat :P ). But it's a feel-good thing to work with kids who really benefit from a program they never dreamed of having access to. And it's not too time consuming. I think they work with our professional to make their own schedules. Just a thought! It's something I'll probably do if/when I leave this current job, so thought I'd toss it out there.
