Hi there, I'm [neon.zombie] (although any variation on that is fine, heh) and I'm a bit of a choral geek. I'm a first year Music/Arts student at university, studying Performance Voice (classical) and German. My real passion lies in choral music - currently my choir (the national secondary students' choir) has finished for the season, so I'm focusing on my beginner's conducting course at the university. Exciting stuff!
I really enjoy listening to almost anything, be it Samuel Barber or Bullet For My Valentine. As I'm not an instrumentalist, I really don't know where to start with most classical music that's not for voice, although I really love listening to it. So my goal for the coming years, I suppose, is to learn more about the history of music and finally get into all of that Mozart, Bach, Wagner, Beethoven, etc...

I'm Parker, pianist for 16 years but still learning =) I also play guitar, bass, er-hu, and other percussion instruments (not as much as I should!). For some reason, I find my favourite classical artists are neo/contemporary artists like Nobuo Uematsu, Yann Tiersen, Philip Glass, Emilie Autumn, and so forth. But gotta love the Bach, Scott Joplin and Tchaikovsky =)

Hi everyone! biggrin My name is Justin and I play piano, organ, synthesizer, some harmonica, and I sing. I'm 16 years old and I have gone to train with college professors in Warrensburg College (one of the best colleges in the state of Missouri). I have gone to district and state competitions for singing in ensembles, piano solos, and accompaning other ensembles and have gotten top scores on all. I have also been in all-district choir, which requires you to be in the top 200 singers in the state out of about 1200 that try out. (The choir director there was a jerk and I hated it crying ). I play at talent shows and recitals as well. Unfortunately my school is a sports based school (all about the football evil ) so there are only about 5 music classes over all. Two bands (can't play piano in either of them), a music appreciation class (taken it and it's music history about people like Elvis, The Beatles etc.), and two choir classes. I am in honors choir (the better one) and I am the section leader for the tenors. We go to district and state competitions as well and it is a BLAST! blaugh I have many favorite classical musicians but my favorite piano song to play and listen to is Franz Liszt's Etude (Un Sospiro). If anyone hasn't heard it and loves beautiful piano music, look it up, it is the most beautiful piano piece I have ever heard and played in my life.

Wow! I wish I could play organ, it looks so fun. I'm not really a fan of Liszt but that's pretty nice. Welcome to the guild, hope you enjoy it here 4laugh

Hi, I'm Rachy smile
I've been classical singing (soprano) for twelve years now and I am about to head off to university to study Music with voice as my principal study. My favourite composers to sing are Handel and Mozart, I enjoy bright coloratura and Baroque and Classical arias more than heavier Romantic pieces. I also enjoy choral singing, I was in the Birmingham Symphony Chorus until leaving for uni, and I have a choral scholarship starting now.
To listen to, I enjoy pretty much everything, all genres of music, but especially Baroque and Classical music, and post-World War II choral music. I like dubstep and drum and bass, and have recently been getting into other electronic genres as well. I also like progressive rock and metal (Tool is my favourite band), and folk music. I will listen to anything and everything!

Hey, I'm Jake. I'm first and foremost a composer for a variety of musical genres.
I have a passion for any music that is musically complex (not necisarily in terms of the performers vertuousity, but the interplay of the sepperate parts to creat a whole).
This has lead me to much of 20th Century classical music, Art music, Free Jazz, Some of the more technical subgenres of heavy metal, some of the more progressive funk, and more self-indulgent fusion bands.
As part of progressing my skills in composition, I've picked up elementary abilities on a large number of instruments, including vocals, guitar, bass, drums, piano and harmonica. I can generally pick up and produce something semi-coherent with any string instrument, and most percussive instruments, though as of yet, I've not breached anywhere near as far into brass or woodwind as I would like. I intend to learn as many instruments as I can in my lifetime, even if that means I do not get to master any. I find it incredibly entertaining, and amazingly profitable in terms of my understanding of that instruments abilities or role, as well as a much deeper respect for musicians that play those instruments.
Baritone sax, Violin and Udu are next on my list :]
I'm a big fan or rhythm, much more so than melody or harmony. Which is one of the reasons that I've liked atonal music from a young age, as well as a reason why the drums were the instrument I picked up the fastest. I love musicians and composers who play hundreds of intertwinning rhythms.
