♦Mod on GFH.SE

I have a wide range of interests, including music, history, and math. I have been playing music for three of four years now and play the cornet, recorder, and piano. 100% of the music on my computer is classical, so you should know what genres I prefer ;). I enjoy studying any history and researching my genealogy. American English is my first language, pero tambien hablo Español. I am also currently taking Calculus 1.

May 17	comment	Why is the recorder a good instrument to start with? With lower recorders, you can't just twist them to make them playable the other way around. There is no way I could possibly play my tenor with my right hand on top.
May 16	comment	Learn music professionally, not classical and not jazz? Most pop-like genres (e.g., rock, hip-hop, etc.) came from jazz. Knowing how to play jazz can be very helpful when playing those genres.

May 10	comment	How to play together online? Most online Skype-type apps just can't physically be synced close enough for you to play together.
May 6	comment	How to play together online? Have you tried a telephone?
May 6	comment	Acoustic considerations for positioning an upright piano against the wall? Why does having it right next to the wall boost the treble frequencies?
May 4	comment	Polymeter vs Polyrhythm Thanks for the examples. I never understood it until now. Great answer! (+1)
May 3	comment	How to know whether my guitar is the problem or I am the problem Hi and welcome to Music.SE! I've cleaned up your question some to make it more readable. If I've changed to much, feel free to edit it back. Again, welcome to Music SE!
Apr 26	comment	Complete list of common musical terms This is not anywhere near complete.
Apr 25	comment	Is there a way to repair key on a digital piano? This is a valid answer. If the OP is looking for a do-it-yourself manual, she should specify.
Apr 18	comment	Small natural above C in G Major The octaves are changed here because this is an arrangement for the recorder and to keep the original octaves would place some portions out of the instruments' ranges.
Apr 3	comment	Four dots over tremolo minim (half note with slash) Do you want red freehand circles too? :D
Mar 29	comment	Why does my violin's A-string show signs of damage after only a week? Perhaps. I've always seen it as referring to the group as a whole. What's the purpose of the tag if it simply refers to any stringed instrument? There are already tags for every instrument.
Mar 25	comment	How to deal with the fear of auditions? Can you put a link to the Q there?
Mar 10	comment	Is it possible to play a low A on a recorder If your playing a recorder in C, that is impossible. The tutorial you linked to is for a recorder in F.
Mar 8	comment	High D on Tenor Recorder My question was more about the technique than the fingering. BTW, though, that link is already in my bookmarks. :P
Feb 15	comment	High D on Tenor Recorder I am talking about the C two ledger lines above the top of the G clef. Does that clarify?
Feb 13	comment	Drum machine with an API (Ruby would be awesome!) Can you explain why these would be good choices?
Feb 11	comment	Is it acceptable to play the same note sumultaneously on different strings on Cello? How does this answer the question?
Feb 9	comment	High D on Tenor Recorder I tried this again with your advice, and I was able to hit the high D (haven't tried higher). I think my problem was partly that my throat was a little tight. However breath control was the larger problem. My recorder seems to get finicky in the upper range. If I over or underblow at all up there, it goes way off. How I got around that was by holding a B and slurring to C without changing how I was blowing at all. It took a few tries, but I eventually got it and was able to get C, C#, and D spot on. I'm now working on hitting them consistently starting an octave lower. Thanks for your help.
