So... I've been given band as one of my classes and I've been told to pick an instrument. The problem is, I don't know which one to pick.

Help?

	Uh... flute? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Same Filter will_solace 2020-01-08 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	Are you just picking flute at random? I started to do that and I was told to actually think about which one. I guess that's the problem when you know your actual talents lay elsewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sort of? Isn't how you play it like whistling? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, you're right, it's pretty similar. Why do you bring that up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're pretty good with whistling, so it seemed like it might be a good starting point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright, I guess I'm going to try the flute! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And if for some reason my infinite wisdom is wrong and flute doesn't work out, there's always just going 'why not everything' and going full out one man band. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I dunno. I never did band. I did shop. Your dad had some battle instrument or whatever, but you could probably figure out something? Maybe something easy? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's not that I find any of them hard... I'm kind of good at all of them? It's just I'm not great at any of them and I don't know what to choose. I know the other guy in class does drums. I could use a ukulele but I feel like after listening to my dad use one everything I'd do would suck (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I mean, your dad can use basically anything and make us all feel like we suck, but he's like...you know. If there's drums, maybe pick up guitar or bass or whatever. Unless this is like a marching band? And like the more you practice, the better you'll be, right?

Also sorry if I seem kind of busy, Tony and Rey are helping me figure out school stuff, too. Like college. Rogue is, too. I might see if the older Tony has any ideas too. And I want to see if we can create like an app like that one that lets you read signs in different languages so that we can translate all our texts into Ancient Greek. For both of our sakes.

	Hey, don't apologize for being busy and having a life. But if you can create that thing to translate, I'd owe you for sure. English already takes like three times longer than any other subject. Nico suggested the flute so I might try that out for a while. Maybe the bass too, though I don't think I'm cool enough to pull it off, haha (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leo_valdez 2020-01-09 04:14 am UTC (link)
	I've got to talk to Tony. I don't think he'd say no, though. Okay. I mean, you're pretty cool, so I think you'd manage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	will_solace 2020-01-09 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. And let me know if I can help with your app! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leo_valdez 2020-01-09 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	I mean, you probably know more Ancient Greek than I do since you like learned it at camp and stuff. I learned some, but the rest is like...you know. So maybe you could help us with that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	will_solace 2020-01-09 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	Sure. I bet you're not as bad as you think, but I'd be happy to help. Group projects are fun (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. Tony's pretty cool. Like he has a suit that makes him fly. It's not a flying metal dragon, but not everyone can be me. It's hard work. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I had to Google band instruments. I found this. I'm not certain there's a good pick when I look at the cons? how much musical experience do you have? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Same filter will_solace 2020-01-09 03:18 am UTC (link)
	That's the thing. I can pick up any instrument and figure it out okay, but I don't know which one I'd actually like playing a lot, if that makes sense. Nico thinks the flute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Same filter anakinsolo 2020-01-09 03:51 am UTC (link)
	The flute does seem pretty. And nice and portable - which seems like a good pro if it's not a problem on playing it or learning it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Same filter will_solace 2020-01-09 04:05 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, okay. I'm going to definitely consider it. Thanks (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You might be able to try something and switch if it doesn't work well ultimately? Good luck with it though. (Reply to this) (Parent)
