it is interesting to watch TV shows and movies where actors have to pretend to play instruments. As a string player myself it is so obvious when someone is faking it. Some instruments are easier to fake than orhers. I wonder if this is why Ron Burgundy is a flute player. Sometimes they can make it look better with clever editing. If an actor has to play a piano, the can film from the front where you don't see the hands. Then they cut to a close up from the side where you see only the hands so they can use a double who really plays. String instruments are hard to fake. I've never seen an actor who could adequately fake violin play Sherlock Holmes. Recently, I've see a few actors who had to conduct an orchestra. They were so obviously not conducting, but just flailing around. It's so distracting. Sometimes you see it done right. Over the weekend I watched Singing In The Rain again. In a couple of scenes, Donald O'Conner had to conduct an orchestra. It was clear that he DID know what he was doing. Another film that got it right was Titanic. They had real string players portray the orchestra, which is mere note able because they were not just in the background, but had featured speaking roles in some scenes. What I've never understood is why directors don't use real musicians when they just appear in the background. Why hire an actor to pretend to be an background musician when you could just hire a musician.

playing with a group is the way to go. You just need to stick with it. I played string quartets for years. Best training there is as you are alone on your part but you must coordinate with the others.

You got to approach performing with the right frame of mind....if you're good, you make folks happy....if you're bad and they laugh at you, you make folks happy....if you enjoy doing it, you make yourself happy, to hell with the other folks.TrafficJam wrote:

I've decided to participate in the next performance which is on a big stage at a Scottish festival. I must be crazy but there you go. At least I will know what to expect this time.

Can't wait to get the new strings put on my violin. My teacher insists that it's going to make a big difference going from steel to titanium.
Sounds sort of like an ultralight hiker.TrafficJam wrote:

Sweet! my patio is beggin' for one of those, I'm tired of repairing umbrellas after every storm. Very nice Jim!NoAngel wrote:
Thanks. I looked at various kits and the material cost was from $1500 to $3500. I did it for about $380 lumber and another $175 in bolts, nails, post anchors, saw blade and drill bits.uncle meat wrote:
