[quote=bjh;27641045]Today's question only knows three chords, but it's having fun.


Today's Question:
If you had 100 free music lessons - instrumental or vocal - at your disposal, would you take them yourself or give them away?........Use it myself

If gifted, who to?

If learning an instrument, which one?........The organ. My MIL has a beautiful antique organ sitting in her basement. I clean all the antiques and condition them every year. I lust after that organ and this one parlor table she has.

From opera to country and everything in between - what styles of music will the lessons mostly be in?.....Something haunting and spooky for Well you know. I'm obsessed.

At the end of the hundred lessons, the student gets to perform a duet- instrumental or vocal - with the musician of their choice. Who do you hope it will it be? Probably John who used to play the flute but the dog always howled so he stopped playing, and my friend Lucille who is taking harp lessons and plays the flute as well. A few glasses of wine and it should be a laugh a minute.



Bonus Question:
How are you with punctuation:

Today's Question:

If gifted, who to? My grandson -- he's an excellent trumpeter but is disappointed with his middle school music teacher.

From opera to country and everything in between - what styles of music will the lessons mostly be in? I'm thinking classical or jazz.

At the end of the hundred lessons, the student gets to perform a duet- instrumental or vocal - with the musician of their choice. Who do you hope it will it be? Wynton Marsalis

If gifted, who to?

If learning an instrument, which one? The piano. I played trumpet in concert and marching band in junior high and high school and I also played trumpet in a jazz band one time, however, I've always wanted to learn to play the piano too.

From opera to country and everything in between - what styles of music will the lessons mostly be in?

Classical. If you can play classical music on the piano you could probably play any other type of music on the piano.

At the end of the hundred lessons, the student gets to perform a duet- instrumental or vocal - with the musician of their choice. Who do you hope it will it be?

Yo-Yo Ma would be great. I can't think of any other prominent classical musicians at the moment.

For those of you who have never watched "Schoolhouse Rock," here's "Conjunction Junction" from YouTube. People like me who grew up in the 60s and 70s watched these every Saturday morning.
