I never learned an instrument (schools don't teach that here unless its of your own volition) and its not that I'm financially illiterate, I just don't trust anyone with my money. So, I guess knowing how to play a flute or some bullshit like that would be net positive.
Guess I'll keep on whistling while my money slowly becomes worthless.
I mostly pretended to play and copied the finger movements of the kid next to me.
You got a Yamaha? We got the semitransparent plastic blue ones.
why the fuck are you talking about recorders, it's a flute....? (searched for it just right now and found out that's the name in English and it doesn't make sense at all, but OK)
Anyway, they're cheap, light, accessible, straightforward: no complex skill required to blow or get a correct tone. Flute got me into reading music. Terrible teachers unable to comprehend that a teenager needs something fun to play instead of boring music study books got me out of it.
that's the name in English and it doesn't make sense at all
Faut arrêter avec le "c'est pas comme en français du coup c'est mal"
je n’ai pas dit que c’était mal… mais que ça n’a pas de sens (étymologiquement parlant). C’est un mot étonnant pour une flute, on s’imagine un enregistreur.
J'ai toujours pensé la même chose. J'ai changé d'école française à anglaise en cinquième année pis tout à coup les flutes était des "recorders"? Même en anglais je les appellais des flutes jusqu'à là... Étrange
yeah recorders sucked.... hey is that the ICQ flower? ah good memories...
Yeah because my elementary school teacher was crushing the market
I remember my dad telling me it was a waste of time, back then, I didn't listen
