I thought for a little change up I'd do a music questionnaire for today. I hope you enjoy my answers.
1. Do you play an/several instrument(s)? If so, what Instrument(s)
I play the autoharp, ukulele, and banjolele really well. I play guitar, mandolin, bass, and piano with reasonable skill.
2. Do you sing? If so, what style?
I do sing. I like to sing any style.
3. Do you beatbox?
No
4. Are you a DJ?
I have been in charge of running music for some birthday parties for friends. I was fairly good at it, but I wouldn't say that makes me a DJ.
5. What do you think about Classical music?
I really enjoy it. It's very relaxing.
6. What do you think about Rock?
I love it!
7. What do you think about Pop?
It depends. If it's intelligent pop with decent writing and production I'll love it as much as anything else. If it's that silly stuff with bad beats, annoying vocals, and the song has multiple mentions of baby or parts of the anatomy...I think I skip that music.
8. What do you think about Jazz?
I'm not mush for improvisational jazz. Other wise I enjoy it. Especially jazz standards with cool vocalists.
9. What do you think about Alternative?
I love it!
10. What do you think about Electronic?
I love it! As long as the artist doesn't get to overly involved with the repeating the same beat in a song too much.
11. What do you think about Metal?
Not my favorite but I do respect the talent of the artists that make that type of music. I tend to like music that is alternative or rock that has metal influences.
12. What do you think about Rap?
It kind of the same story as my feelings for pop.
13. Is there is a genre that I haven't listed that you'd like to comment on?
I also love blue grass, musical theater, and folk. I like country as long as the singer isn't too heavy on the twang. I like old R&B but don't really dig new R&B much.
14. What is your favorite genre?
I don't have one. If I think it's well written and composed I'll think it's good.
15. Do you prefer older or newer music?
I like both.
16. Who is your favorite artist/band?
You might want to check out the links to these blog post for this answer since I can't pick just one.
My Top 21 Bands
My to 20 Female Vocalists
My Top 20 Male Vocalists
17. Is there a musician in particular you admire?
I admire so many I do think I could think of only one.
18. What is your favorite song currently?
I two favorite songs of all time are standard tune Life Is Just A Bowl of Cherries and Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House. I don't think it have a favorite song currently. However, I have been listening to a lot of Joan Jett and The Black Hearts and My Chemical Romance lately.
19. Is there a song you find very special to you?
I guess the two favorite songs I listed above. I will also add Human by Christina Perri because I relate to it.
20. What song would you most likely listen to if you are sad?
I actually have a playlist for songs I listen to when I'm feeling down. My Feeling Down Playlist
21. Are you mutable when it comes to your music interests?
I would say so.
22. What was your favorite genre a long time ago? Has it changed since?
I used to pretty much only listen to show tunes. I still listen to them but not as much or as exclusively.
23. Can you read musical notes?
Yes. Slowly. Lol!
24. Do you wish you could play an instrument? If so, which one?
I play quite a few. That's enough for me now.
25. Do you wish you could sing? If so, what style?
Already singing.
26. Is there a certain genre that annoys you?
I can't think of one at the moment, though I'm sure there probably is one.
27. Do you sing in the shower?
For sure!
28. Do you even like music?
Yes. Obviously.
29. How often do you listen to music?
Huh. I guess it depends on the week. I try to just sit and read and listen at least three times a week. I play music and sing almost every day.
30. Is music very important to you?
Yes. Super important. Almost all my interests involve music in some way.
31. What is your least favorite instrument?
I can't think of one the just sounds annoy to me. I think every instrument is okay as long as the person playing it knows what they are doing.
32. Who is your least favorite artist/band?
I don't really get the appeal of Cher Llyod and Ke$ha.
33. Do people (in general) think you have weird/bad taste in music?
I don't think my friends have ever said that my taste is bad. I have occasionally heard that it is weird. I think that's only because I make playlists that go from Bjork, to Alison Krauss, to The Who, to Muse. I just have eclectic tastes.
34. Do you think the people around you have weird/bad taste?
Not really. I guess there might be a few artists and bands we disagree about, but they have a right to like or dislike what they want. We mostly just all like music.
35. Are you picky when it comes to liking music?
I wouldn't say I'm picky about style. I guess I am a little picky about vocal quality, song writing, and production value.
36. What do you think about mainstream music today?
The bands are pretty awesome. A few of the solo artists are excellent. However, a lot of it is not anything to write home about.
37. Are you in a band?
My mom and I are a music duo called Echomentary.
38. Are you in a Choir?
I was in 8th grade choir back in the day but I haven't been in a choir since.
39. Have you ever written/composed/created a song before?
Yep. I've been doing that since I was 14 or so.
40. Have you ever been to a/several concert(s)? If so, which concert(s)?
There are several I went to when I was really young so I don't remember them well. I think they were maybe Amy Grant and Jars of Clay. The ones I remember in my teen/adult years are Third Day, Green Day, No Doubt (Festival Performance), Garbage (Festival Performance), Fiona Apple, and Tori Amos. I feel like I'm forgetting one.
41. Are you listening to a song right now? If so, which song?
Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin
42. Have you ever sung Karaoke before?
I haven't at a karaoke club. However, once at a cast party for at show I was in the host ran karaoke for us. It was a lot of fun.
43. Have you ever been in a singing competition?
Technically two I suppose. First one was an all around talent competition I entered with singing and an acting scene. I didn't get anything for the singing but I did get a prize for the scene. The second one was a musical theater dance/singing piece I did for a dance competition. I got a first place score for that one.
44. Have you ever performed musically in front of an audience?
Yes
45. What would life be like for you without music?
I don't even want to think about it. Haha!
46. (Bonus question, you may choose to leave this one out) Do you like Dubstep?
