I've been playing the flute for 7 years but am only at Grade 7, which isn't really all that much of an achievement. I suppose I should be at Grade 8 by now. That would be the normal sort of a pace to go at. I play the flute in the local church youth ensemble (which has extended in numbers so dramatically from the mere 10 or us 4 years ago to a full-scale orchestra). I play in the school orchestra and band, and have had to play in numerous flute quartets at concerts throughout the years. I also occasionally get roped into doing other things in other parishes, like playing in Midnight Masses in convents and stuff.

I'm miles better at the piano than I am at the flute. I'm Grade 8 now, and have been played for 4 years. I have a real love for the piano and would quite happily sit there for hours on end twiddling away. It's so beautiful. My piano teacher tells people that I am her best pupil =) I have a really gorgeous piano that I saved up for with all my money from my part-time job and bought 2nd hand. It's mine for life now, and I'm absolutely in love with it. She's beautiful.

I used to play classical guitar but I gave that up. I wasn't playing very long but got up to about Grade 4 standard, although never did any exams. My guitar teacher said he was the best pupil he'd ever taught, but I hated the damn thing. Too sore for my wee wrists.

When I was little the only things I got the chance to play were tin whistle and recorder, which hardly require too much expertise. I played descant and treble recorder, but never the tenor.

I used to sing a little, just in school choirs and stuff, but I hate singing. I refuse to sing for my teachers when we're doing aural tests, and almost always fuck it up in the music exams. I was only in the choir because the head of music forced me to go. As soon as she left, I ran far far away. It was fun but I had no confidence with singing.

I studied music to GCSE but dropped it soon after. I got first in my school but always felt that I was shite in comparison to everyone else and I really didn't like it. Keep getting reprimanded for not doing it to A-level when I go for piano accompaniments but I don't regret it in the slightest. Music was mildly torturous for me so I'm glad the formal lessons are behind me.

My main performance is as an acrobat/aerial artisti. I perform at the my circus on spanish web, silks, trapeze and mini tramp.

But my main preforming art of choice is Magic!  

*flash  flash*

I have been doing magic for over 7 years.  From sponge balls to cards, from ropes to cups.  I don't preform at big places, mostly just for my friends.  I have been hired a few times to work at parties, corporate meetings and the like.

and I'm gonna be in Guys and Dolls Jr. this summer

I also play the euphonium, valve trombone, piano, and I'm starting to take guitar lessons...

I also play the electric bass. I started it at the beginning of the past school year because I met some girls that were interested in starting a band and I thought it would be cool to be in a rock band or something, and I had kind of wanted to play either bass or electric guitar, so I started playing it. However, we never did start that band, but I still play.

I did play tenor saxophone a while ago. Not in any band, but I taught myself. However, I don't play it currently because I don't really have a tenor sax to practice on now. I want to play it, though.

I don't know what I was thinking when I chose my username.
I'm not an imposter and I'm not a "dude".
Bass Trrrrrrooooommmbone!

I love to act and was in my first play this year. I got the role of being a possesed witch wax figure which was cool. it was a no line part just movements and staying still for a long time but i acted the hell outta that part. Im sure to get an upgrade next year.

My most favorite is dancing. Ive been dancing since i was 6 and i do tap, jazz, ballet, pointe, modern(horton), lyrical, african/ethnic, hiphop, and im learning breakdance now.

If only i could sing i would be a one woman show!

Ugly or exotic?

Iv been acting since i was six years old in my first play, i then did 3 plays a year one of them was a pantomime. When i turned 13 i realised that i had a singing voice and then did musicals. I got the main part each time. Been in three westend plays and recently been doing t.v and film.

I auditioned for wendy in the peter pan film but rachel hurd wood got it lol, i did a workshop with her and she is amazing. I auditioned for the part off luna lovegood in the harry potter film and got a screen test with dan radcliffe in leavesden studios. He is amazing. Unfortunly i didnt receieve the part though.

And to carly3592, our school did Guys and Dolls and I played in the pit orchestra. I really liked it, it was quite hilarious and odd. Hope you have fun with that.
