Datameister 2,044 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Points off for poor percussion and for chickening out of the dissonant ending, but I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The percussion was fine. Don't see you memorising and performing a 7 and a half minute piece of Williams music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,044 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The percussion was fine.It wasn't bad for their age, but there was a lot of room for improvement. I've been a percussionist, drumline captain, and conductor at various points, so I can't help noticing these things.Don't see you memorising and performing a 7 and a half minute piece of Williams music.That's true, although you can certainly listen to me memorizing and performing a 9-minute one if you'd like. Apologies for the mistakes and out-of-tune piano...I can play it a lot better now than I could when I recorded that. Kind of weird to listen to an old version of my arrangement, actually...Anyway, I also play the end credits suite, but I've never uploaded it because it seemed a little superfluous after "Journey to the Island."

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Regardless man, they're kids. I'm not a fan of tall poppy syndrome, even if you are a better player than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,044 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Tall poppy syndrome...had to look that one up. I might have to add that to my vocabulary! But no, I'm not a fan of it either. Far too prevalent a phenomenon, especially among kids, and it's probably why as an adult, I'm still rather reluctant to share the things I'm good at...and typically self-deprecating when I do. Apologies if I gave the wrong impression with my post, but I did say "I enjoyed it. ". It's a very fun and unique arrangement that obviously took a lot of talent to put together, especially for kids their age. My comment about the percussion and the final chord wasn't intended as a scathing denouncement of their hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 No worries. I saw your use of the word 'poor' and misinterpreted. Apologies if I seemed harsh in my response, I teach kids as young as this with nowhere near that level of skill, and the most important thing to communicate to them is positive feedback, not words like 'poor' and 'bad'. Feel very strongly about that, though obviously you're not saying to the kids directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,044 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I agree completely, and I definitely wouldn't talk to kids (or any musicians, really) this way about their music. Perhaps I shouldn't do so behind their back, as it were, either. Positive, constructive, enthusiastic feedback is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
