MUSIC CLASS!

For me personally, I have been in chorus and played the clarinet for over 6 years, play some piano and clarinet. I am a very musical person, I have gotten a few lead roles in real life, so I know how to tell a good singer or good instrument player from a bad one. I also am learning guitar and piano.


The teacher in here, however, shall be none other than Myself

Please do show me respect, for i am, of course, your teacher.

User Image STUDENTS

Each student below is in this classroom and has at least one instrument that they can play at a fairly advanced level. If you play more than a couple intruments, but have any speciality in music, you have to state why that is so on your profile.

Ex: Lucas can play so many instruments because after his bite, he was trapped in his room constantly and learned them, in substitution for his parents hearing his voice. It fits in with the story line of his specific character.


Al (alalal984)
Voice- Soprano, knows a bit of piano, Clarinet, and wants to learn guitar and ukulele. ((This is what I know in real life, best at singing))

Lucas (WerewolfLucas)
Voice- Tenor, harp, guitar, piano, violin, cello, clarinet, trumpet, drums, saxophone, french horn, xylophone, trombone, voice, ukelele, drums, harmonica, ocarina, fiddle, flute, cymbals, pan flute, bagpipes...anything, really. (He is extremely skilled and at an advanced level at all of these, so it's quality and quantity.)

Quinn (My_Toxic_Kitten7 cool
Trumpet

Fionna (Sparrow Puppy)
Voice- Alto, Piano

Tyson (Sparrow Puppy)
Voice- Tenor, Flute, Piccolo

Rose (iiDumb_Brunette)
Drums, Voice-Soprano

Caiden (Y a m i - D h a m p i r)

**NOTE:
So no one God-mods that they just walk in here, playing the instruments after dark and waking up half the castle, you need a pass from me to play them. The pass will be like a guitar pick, but with a small picture on it that indicates whatever instrument you want to play. Otherwise, they just burn white hot unless you have this 'pass' on your person as you play it.



((Set-up of room is in post below, 5 upright pianos lining a wall, hundreds of instruments in a closet that had charms extending it, a corner with a dozen guitars, in the center of the room is a baby-grand, which is mine to play to accompany the singers.))

Al knew music class was about to start because her mom had sent her a letter. She was so excited as she ran into class.
Al knew the Clarinet, some piano, she wanted to learn guitar and ukulele, but she was best at singing. ((Me irl <3))
She was an extremely high soprano, she could hit an octave above the last not on the ledger line. ((Yes, me irl too <3))
She was actually pretty-well known for her being best at singing, anyone in Hogwarts who knew her well knew that it was her passion. If she made it into the Department of Mysteries, she wanted to learn more about music. They had everything there, she wanted to learn more about gorgeous sound, it was her passion.

When she entered the room, she couldn't help but gasp.

Instruments lined the walls. There were guitar cases open with shining gorgeous guitars in one corner, there must have been a dozen of them. On the wall opposite, five up-stand pianos all in a row. There was a baby grand in the middle of the huge room. There were clarinets, rubas, trombones, anything imaginable, all in a side room that came off of it, like a huge closet. It had obviously been expanded by magic, just by looking at the small closet, it was hard to believe you could fit hundreds of intrsuments in it.
There was a sign, however, at the back of the room that said in bold, black letters.
"DO NOT TOUCH INSTRUMENTS WITHOUT PASS FROM PROFESSOR."
What did that mean? Curious, she sneaked over to one of the guitar cases and tried to take a guitar. The second she touched it...Ouch!!! It burned white-hot and she heard someone laugh.
She looked behind her, and it was her mom, the Headmaster.
"Hey..mum." She said blushing a bit.

Her mom held out something. It was a guitar pick with a small picture of a guitar on it. She raised her eyebrows, held it in her hand, then touched the guitar. Nothing burned.
Awesome.

I MIGHT LOSE MY MIND FOR A WHILE
BUT I'LL BE FINE HAVE YOU HEARD THERE'S THIS THING
THAT HEALS AND IT'S CALLED TIME
▂▃▃▄▄▄▅▅▅▅▄▄▄▃▃▂


Fionna had gotta a note probably along with the other members of the class that music class was starting today. Her hands had been fidgety all day in anticipation of perhaps playing a piano again. She missed the feel of the keys on her hands, and even though Lucas was teaching her guitar it wasn't the same as the piano. It was one of her passions and talents that she missed while at Hogwarts and was so happy that there was no longer a need to miss it.

Fionna neared the classroom with tingling hands and when she entered the door, the first thing that caught her eye was the baby grand piano in the middle of the room. Her eyes twinkled at the sight of it and her necklace turned to amber in sync with her overjoyed attitude.

Fionna tore her eyes away from the piano to survey the rest of the room where she found many other uprights and many other instruments. She also found that she was not the first here for Al and the Headmistress were over by some guitars talking and Al looking intrigued by the instruments. Of course Al had been the first one here. She was so enthusiastic and passionate about music. Fionna smiled glad to be here. Her eyes kept darting back to the piano wanting to run her fingers over the keys, but she resisted and slowly strode into the room and said, "Well I must admit. This is brilliant." A grin was on her face and she couldn't wait to see who else had joined the class. She knew a few who probably had. Lucas, Al, and Caiden, but she honestly couldn't think of anybody else.

Headmistress Lillian Van Nikolai

Lillian walked out of a small music-room teacher's office, another side room, and smiled at the look on Fionna's face.
"Here you go." She said, passing Fionna a guitar pick with a picture of an upright piano on it.
"The baby-grand's mine for accompanying the singers, but at the end of class if you want to play that one, you can."
She sat down on the piano bench and looked at Fionna and decided she might as well ask.
"Alright, Al's told me Lucas can play every instrument in existence from tuba to harp, piano to guitar and anything in between. Is she just joking?"

If it was true, Lillian was amazed. Learning just one instrument took discipline and plenty of practice. Lillian knew Lucas had been stuck in his room for 6 years, which would of course leave him plenty of time...but still.
...Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it...

Fionna was a bit confused at the guitar pick and she turned it over in her hand. It had a picture of a piano on it and Fionna figured it was some sort of pass to play the instrument. She smiled at the Headmistress. "Thank you." She said and was glad to hear that she might be allowed to play the baby grand, but she was just happy to be playing piano at all.

Fionna then grinned at the headmistress' question. She also chuckled a bit before saying, "Oh its true. I bet he can even play kazoo!" Fionna made her way over to one of the upright pianos. "He's even teaching me guitar." She added as a random thought.

Fionna sat down at the piano trying to decide what to do. She hadn't played in a few months, so she figured she better warm up first. Fionna started with a few scales and octave exercises. There was a smile on her face and she put her hands in her lap thinking of a song she thought she may still be able to play from memory. The smile faded into an expression she always took while playing and her necklace immediately changed to a pearl as she started to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

Lucas walked into the music room, feeling home at last. He saw Al strumming a guitar in a corner, just playing a few chords. He was about to go say hi when he saw Fionna at the piano.
She was incredible to say the very least. He grinned ear to ear and stood there listening until he knew there was a pause, since this piece could last forever. He knew where the pause was since he played that song often himself. He noticed the sign about passes and mouthed the word 'Violin' to the Headmaster just before the pause. She nodded, gave him a pass and he picked one of the shining violins up. He stood a couple feet behind her, and when she started playing the next part, he joined in on violin.

He noticed her necklace was a pearl now and smiled warmly. He swayed slightly with the rhythm of the piece. He could never choose what his favorite instrument was, but he loved violin, the sweet melodic notes.

Fionna was immersed in the music. She made a few mistakes here and there but it was expected since she had not played in a while. She was startled when a violin joined her and she got a bit off for a moment, but with the violin playing with her she was easily able to pick it back up. She did not know who had joined her but she had a suspicion on who it was.

The violin sounded wonderful and as the piece came to an end Fionna looked behind her with a wide grin. It was Lucas who she had suspected. Fionna of course had always believed that Lucas could play any instrument handed to him and was not surprised at his melodic playing on the violin. "That was nice." She said with a light grin on her face and a twinkle in her eye.

When the piece came to an end and Fionna turned around, he beamed at her.
"Nice? You were incredible. I knew you'd be good at piano, but still, that was amazing."
Lucas gave her hand a bit of a squeeze and put the violin back where it came from and exchanged his violin pass for a piano pass. He loved Fionna, but right now he was just so in love with music, he kept looking around the room and smiling. Music had come to his aid for those 6 years that were basically spent in his room. Yes, he had 'school', which was basically his mother tossing a book at him and telling him to go learn it. Usually he ended up just doing piano instead.

"I usually played on the keyboard at home, the piano was too loud...so it might be a bit different, I dunno how many mistakes I'll make." He grinned and began to play a piece he had learned not all that long ago.(Love the PianoGuys, incredible, could never do this irl. But Lucas can >3 )
A few minutes later Lucas looked up and grinned. He'd worked a while on that, to be honest...the little flutters halfway through were particularly difficult.

Fionna blushed at Lucas' compliment. She really wasn't use to playing for people. Sure, she played for her family all the time and had occasionally played for Caiden but that was it really. She kept her talents to herself most of the time and she guessed that seemed to be changing a bit. She needed to remember to get back to sketching a bit. So many things to do. "Thanks. I'm a bit out of practice." She said honestly.

Fionna watched Lucas play and she was truly amazed. The song was amazing and she couldn't remember hearing it really, but she loved it and all the flutters, trills, and glissandos were awesome. "That was amazing Lucas." She said and gave him a peck on the cheek. He seemed to be a bit rusty as well so at least it was not only her. Fionna was debating something now.

Fionna had received notebook number four from Riley yesterday. She had spent some time away from Lucas reading it and when she heard music class was starting had been debating this the entire day. She tapped the bench for a moment before reaching into her bag and pulling out the notebook. She noticed Lucas' confusion, but ignored it for the moment. She put her notebook on the stand and began playing. Notebook Number Four was Fionna's composition book where she wrote her songs. They were few and numbered, but she opened it to a certain page containing the song Pretend dedicated to her father. She also sang quietly with it not really comfortable with singing loud yet.

Lucas flushed a little bit when she complimented him and kissed his cheek. His parents just called it useless noise. He was a bit confused when she put a notebook on the stand and started playing, but he was silent instantly.

It was gorgeous. She was a really good singer, better than she thought at least. She sang quietly, but it was a gorgeous song, even when it was soft. It was sweet, and there was emotion put into it.
"That was beautiful." He said quietly at the end of it. He just wasn't creative enough to think of something like that. He gave Fionna's hand a squeeze and a peck on the cheek.
He wasn't sure what to play now, he wasn't sure he could follow that act. He had tried to write his own music before, and it hadn't turned out horrible, but not nearly as good and sweet as Fionna's.

Fionna blushed again when Lucas complimented her. She seemed to always blush at compliments no matter what. "Thanks." She said not sure what now. "This is what i was writing about in that letter I sent Riley by the way." She told Lucas thinking he probably remembered that. Though the reason for wanting it was only partially to play some of her old songs. Fionna figured she might also be able to convert some of the songs to guitar and play them on that.

Fionna wasn't sure what to do now. She took her notebook and stuck it back into her bag. She then proceeded to play Lost by Coldplay which Lucas had played on the guitar the other day she smiled as she did so thinking about that night.

Lucas couldn't keep the smile off his face. This was definitely his favorite class now.
"Ohhh, makes sense." He said. "I was curious about that." He just listened as she proceeded to play Lost, the song he'd played on guitar. It sounded just as nice on piano, and even better with Fionna playing it. When she finished he clapped for her.

"Again, I knew you'd be great at piano, but honestly, that's just fantastic." He really had found the perfect girl for him. She was an animagus now, she was musically talented, she was kind, a Gryffindor... he really couldn't think of anything else to say, he was just in his own little piece of heaven right now. He got a guitar pass, was pleased to find that it was perfectly tuned, and started to play Lost as well, figuring Fionna could pick up on piano wherever she wanted. He heard another tune in the back round, turned around, and was pleased to find Al singing along with it. ((Lil said I could include this))
She had a gorgeous voice, it was higher than Fionna's but not too high. It was...haunting, to say the least, like her voice was touching your heart.
