CLKD, you can be chief whistler on the MM charabang! :whist:

Not sure about perfect pitch, Dulciana! Probably would if I could read music more proficiently, but it's coming along. Ask me to sing an octave higher or lower, then I can, no problem. Any interval in between requires mental counting! Still practice makes perfect!

Ah, I see, Ju Ju.  Sorry - I misunderstood you there!

Just came across this one, CLKD.  Apparently, when my Mum and her cousin were about ten or so, they used to go and stand near a local brass band (when it played outdoors in the summer) armed with half a lemon each, suck their half lemons hard, pulling faces as they did so, and see how many players in the band they could reduce to dribbling through their instruments.   What sweet little children they must have been!   ::)

C.mas Eve 2023: Music and musicians
« Reply #158 on: December 24, 2023, 06:49:10 PM »
Has any1 followed the Kanneh-Mason family - 7 musical children.  All multi-talented.  They have taken a trip round Salzburg and arranged some of the songs from that musical which is really moving.  The film itself is a Hollywood tale, but it brings people to music in a different way than having to practice in School.  As well as people from across the World visiting : 360,000 annually : to take part in the various trips round the famous City.

Other than those who live in the area, apparently not many locals have watched 'the sound of music' .........
