Jeanna Murphy: Music
The Olympian
I know I've been saying this a lot lately but I am EXTREMELY proud of this one. I was not at all knowledgable on the workings of brass instruments or woodwinds (I played the clarinet for about 2 weeks when I was little and hated it) so this was really a stretch for me. I cracked open my orchestration book and learned so much. It was like I was back in music theory again which I gotta say was a fun class. VERY challenging but fun. I have the bug now and I will definitely be doing more tunes like this soon!
I would love to hear from anyone out there that plays a brass or wind instrument on any suggestions they might have on writing for these beautiful instruments. Do you have a favorite key you play in? Easiest playable range? What pieces do you love to play so I can study their scores....
Can't wait to hear what your advice is.
