La Vie en Rose-Clarinet

I thought I'd give this Edith Piaf classic a go on clarinet.

Game of Thrones theme, tin whistle

I've never liked the show, but I love the theme tune.

Beatboxing on a recorder

Apparently this is a 'thing' so I thought I'd
have a go with my Yamaha alto.

Greensleeves, classical guitar

Took me a few attempts to get this in one go. Still far from perfect but its a good piece to practice.

I got a flute!

A Facebook friend offered to send me some tin whistle books and I mentioned that I don't play my ocarina, so she suggested she could send me her old Altissimo flute in exchange.
And so, I now have a flute!
It has a damaged key on the foot joint but its otherwise playable...

And its beautiful!

I've created a music Facebook group

I wanted a Facebook group where people can discuss all kinds of music, share pictures of instruments, jokes, stories etc. So I created one. And I named it after this blog.

The Music Tree

I then designed a banner for it using software on my phone:

Hitting the second octave on tin whistle

It was a wonderful moment when I was able to get clean notes in the second octave. So I practiced a piece of music which previously I ran out of steam at the second section. But now, I can play it. (El Condor Pasa)
I was quite pleased with myself when I first hit that second octave!
