im not saying sports is harder than music, cz they’re both difficult in their own ways, that’s why i said you can’t really compare them.

“i can play 6 different instruments poorly, but well enough so that you can tell what song im playing”
That’s kind of like saying you know anything about sports because you play road hockey & baseball with the other guys in your neighbourhood. Getting into music groups, other than things like class choirs and non-auditioned community or church groups, requires as much work, skill and discipline as making a sports team. And preparing for & passing the audition is only the beginning…

@MicrobeObliteratorMo I would have to say to you that Drum and Bugle Corps is defined as a sport. And the people who compete in Drum and Bugle Corps are considered athletes. So really it’s comparing apples to apples, and you can’t possibly say that playing “sports” is harder than playing “music” when drum corps is a combination of both.

@Eustis77 ok here’s the deal. I’ve played baseball, tennis, and soccer. never once had a problem making the team. but i’m curious as to which 6 instruments you play? oh, and whistles, kazoos, acorns, air guitar, air drums, and spoons don’t count. now, in addition to the sports i’ve played, i’ve also played with a world champion drum corps and let me tell you, it was the hardest work of my life. and if you don’t think it’s disciplined, then you try standing at attention for 10 hours a day.

@Kenaialbe I completely agree, I did not mean to offend. What I meant was that to have a keen understanding you have to think a certain way. You can’t really be taught how to understand music (and I mean classical not the stuff on the radio). It’s hard to articulate what I mean. I’m sorry.

@SKA92bitch…that doesn’t matter. You can still enjoy it 100% even if you don’t have a knack for it. Music is for everyone.

Hmmm. Well, in middle school I played basketball, in high school I played football, basketball, and ran track. In college I played football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and was a fencer. In high school I was in the marching band, jazz band, orchestra, choir, and barbershop quartet. I even made All-State choir and first chair All-State on my instrument (tuba). I spent most of my undergraduate time and all of my graduate school as a Music major. I’ve been on both sides of this equation.

Well, a keyboard can be part of playing with the heart. It doesn’t have to be a digital one, of course, but there is a lot of very emotional music in the piano literature! It can be just as heartfelt with a digital keyboard as an acoustic. But trying to replace an orchestra or even just a trio or quartet with digitally produced “playing” definitely falls way short of idea when compared with a live performance.

So why do we need old traditional pitchers in baseball games when we have machines that can pitch baseballs? Mechanical pitchers would let the people concentrate on being better fielders. Why have the Indy 500 or Daytona 500 with all the costs and training and experience it takes for the drivers, mechanics, etc. when it can all be done with a PlayStation? See how silly that idea is?

And how many MPB players can throw a 90 mph plus fastball? Likely very few – at least with any accuracy. You’re bringing in a very specific example. One can play “Flight of the Bumblebee” on a tuba yet not play a smooth drum roll.

an aspect of music education that Mr. Stamp didn’t bring up was the emotional feeling that music gives us musicians. I remember the first time I was given my Clarinet and was able to play a full 2 min. song, I felt like hevan had just opened up and I finally felt truly awake. Not only is music good for the brain, it’s good for the soul too. My best friend once dropped her saxaphone, and she was a nervous reck for the three weeks it took to fix it.

wow when you start the comment off with “i can play 6 different instruments poorly” nothing after that has any merit. if you have the DISCIPLINE and the DETERMINATION to master even one instrument, you would realize how much music helps you with everything in life.

Once the real instrument has been mastered, it sounds a million times better in person than damn digital crap.
Digital in monotone. Regardless of swelling or change in volume.
But real instruments provide emotion, less robotic.
Real music played by real people is amazing.
Truly and simply amazing.
And not robotic and ugly / boring like digital.

You either have the niche for music, or you don’t. You can only be taught so much.

I think Eustis needs to spend more time doing music. Then he might learn the difference between your and you’re and learn where capital letters go. But who cares? However, he can have his laugh now because, for the rest of his life he’ll be calling those losers in band sir and ma’am because they sign his paycheck (assuming he has a job), hire him in the first place (assuming he knows what an iron is), and tell him how they like their coffee (because that’s the only job he’ll be able to get)

as much as i absolutely love music, i kind of have to say i disagree with some parts. of course, music should be kept in public schools. but playing sports probably isn’t easier than playing music. i mean, sure, you sometimes fake a turn or whatever, but that takes strategy, you don’t fake something because you feel like it, you do it for a legit reason. im not trying to insult anyone. i just think comparing music to sports is like comparing apples to oranges.

@Moog167 i agree, but protools whatsoever shouldn’t exist at all. thats digital, real music is analogue, real music is acoustic.
I do use those programs alot cuz the industry forces you to.
but acoustic music is the way to go.

@dafontenot Hey, don’t shun wind instrument players. I think you’re just trying to make a comback because you couldn’t play an acoustic instrument when you tried out for band. And besides, people actually ENJOY playing an acoustic instrument. Plus it improves brain functions as Dr. Stamp mentions in this video.
