Instruments

 * Violin: My first instrument! I started at the age of 8. Basically I was supposed to play the guitar, but guitar classes were full, so I got in violin ones and I don't regret it at all! I have learnt this instrument for 6 years in conservatory. But since I left, my level (pretty obviously) doesn't increase significantly...
 * Clarinet: Then Hibike! Euphonium changed my mind. It gave me something that made me play music again... But the violin wasn't enough, I wanted more! So I asked my father (who plays the flute) if I could try the flute. He told me that he also has a clarinet and an oboe (I was nicely surprised, I just didn't know that, because he tried these two instruments but stopped pretty quickly, a long time ago). I learnt the basis pretty fast, and so now I can play easy pieces. I started mid-July 2017.
 * Flute: Same background story. Though I find the flute more difficult... I took 1 hour to successfully get a sound out (1 hour is relatively quick, I read that some people had to try several weeks before getting something out). Also started mid-July 2017.
 * Oboe: Now one of my favorite instruments, if not my favorite one!!! But quite hard, as expected. Even without the eternal learning of double-reed-making side, it's already way more difficult to get a stable sound... But you don't actually realize when you master the oboe's double reed, it's a matter of getting used to, very slowly... I also find that the documentation about the oboe on the net is very lacking... But I'm still very motivated! I'd love so much to actually master this beautiful instrument! Little less experience than the other winds: started in August 2017. I play the oboe in school orchestra now.

Musically, it seems that...

 * Bad oboe embouchure makes the sound of a dying goose. Good oboe embouchure makes the sound of a regular goose.
 * ALL violin players, I repeat, ALL violin players MUST bully viola players. It's a secular rule, here since these instruments exist. For the bullies, it's become kind of a reflex, we they don't even do it on purpose... I do it sometimes to some viola players in my school orchestra, to remember my violinist past I guess.
 * The best way as a violin player to become deaf is to play in the back and center of 2nd violin section. Why? Piccolo is just behind.
 * Playing Pachelbel's Canon is the nightmare of cellists. Their part consists of 8 quarter notes, repeated... a lot of times... It's even become a sort of meme I guess.
 * Besides, I love Tachibana HS Band! The pieces they play and their motions make me really happy somehow! Just look at that! The fact it inspired Rikka HS in Hibike! Euphinium isn't surprising.

Well... That's what I've been said
