 Soran “Koail” Ibrahim “దేశం ఆలోచిస్తూ లేదు, అది చర్య అన్నారు.” xXx"Nice to meet you, Alli. You have no reason to be shy around us. We're all lovers of music here and pass no real judgement on others. Mr. de Févin might've had a bad reaction to hearing I can play a lot of music yet can't read a lick of sheet music, but he's very understanding, nice and patient. You'll like him as the music teacher," Soran hummed cheerfully while patting the space next to him on the piano stool where those little books speaking of sheet music for the violin. He figured if he had a question about these notes, he could ask her while the teacher was interacting with Miss Wright. Pointing at the cursive S shape at the beginning of the sheet music, he glanced back at the neko. "What's the difference between this weird S looking shap and that weird C looking shape at the beginning of sheet music? I've sometimes seen people write that C looking shape instead of the S looking one and I never understood why or what it's supposed to be... Do you know?"

Reed de Févin "You were my everything."Reed blinked at the cat girl's sudden reaction to Soran's greeting. Wow, she was a shy one, wasn't she? Maybe sheltered...? Ah well, no use in prying. Besides, he was sure she'd come out of her shell once she played some instruments. "Piano and violin, huh? I think we're getting a string orchestra this year." he smiled to Aven before hearing her question about what lied behind the door she was at. Figuring that Soran could help the cat girl fit in right, he focused on the door and gave it a curious look.
"Hmm. Well I haven't had a chance to look through it, but by guessing on its location I'd say it's the storage. A place to hold marching equipment and instruments too big for kids to take him and all. You know what, let me look in there, too. I'd like to see what shape the marching uniforms are in, and what other instruments we've got." he said while making his way towards her."Your music will live on."

αven ωright Nodding in agreement with Reed, Aven laughed at the Neko's reaction to Soran. It was amazing how different their two personalities were. She then looked at Reed with her gold eyes as he spoke of going in there with her. "Oh alright. Is this your first year?" Looking at him curiously, she walked with him to the door. Her gold eyes glowing brighter and brighter as they got closer to the door. Aven wondered what kind of spirits were in there, most likely ones connected with memories of the items inside.

Alli hesitantly sat down next to him she looked down at the sheet music and smiled, "Its actually quite easy actually. The S shape is called a treble clef, that's where violins and flutes. Instruments that can play high notes get the notes they need to play songs. The C is called the bass celft, that's where cellos and tubas play. Instruments that play low notes get the notes they need to play songs there." She said, slowly coming out of her shell and smiling. Alli thought for a bit, that might've been confusing. "Did you understand that?" The neko girl asked, scared that she made it worse. ...Please Don't Look At Me That Way...

Soran “Koail” Ibrahim “దేశం ఆలోచిస్తూ లేదు, అది చర్య అన్నారు.” xXxStaring at her for a few minutes quietly, the gears in his head seemed to be working on understanding what she said. After some time, however, the dark haired male smiled while nodding slightly. "So the S is meant to be soprano-like instruments and vocals whereas the C is a failed A or B meant for the alto-like or bass-like instruments and vocals. Right?" he hummed smoothly only to furrow his brow slightly and glance back at the neko. "But what about the undefinitive musicians? Are we supposed to settle for one side or the other?"

Alli smiled and nodded, "Exactly! As for undefined we just have to do a quick test to see where its comfortable for the person to sing. I'm a soprano so I can sing the higher notes. How about you?" She asked, comfortable around him. Her voice was naturally soft and quiet so it was hard to believe she was a soprano. ...Please Don't Look At Me That Way...

Reed de Févin"You were my everything.""Yeah, I just started teaching here about a week ago, in all honesty." Reed said while rubbing the back of his head bashfully. He then reached out to grab the doorknob and opened the door. The first to greet them was a cloud of dust that fell with the sudden motion of the door, making the band director cough and wave a hand in front of his face. Through his tears he found the light switch and turned it on to get a better look at the room.
t was fairly large with multiple shelves lining the walls. On those walls were instrument cases ranging from the smallest piccolo to the largest sousaphone. In the middle of the room were racks of blue, white, and gold uniforms meant for a marching band the size of 400, and beneath the racks were boxes of band shoes. It looked like it hadn't been opened in quite some time, and though it was heartbreaking for the musician, he was plenty excited about putting it all to use again. He eagerly stepped inside and grabbed the sleeve of the nearest uniform.
"Hey, these are great." he commented and pat off some dust on the uniform, coughing in return. "They could use some cleaning, but I'd love to see some students in these." A frown suddenly formed on his face. "Ah, but with the students we've got so far I'll have to teach them how to play a mobile instrument. That cat girl could learn mallets since they're close enough to the piano, and maybe Soran could learn trumpet. Ooh, or snare? What do you think?" he asked and turned to Aven for her response."Your music will live on."

αven ωrightHer lungs filled with dust caused Aven to cough uncontrollably, as Reed opened the door. The second the lights were on, her golden eyes squinted, looking around them, seeing a tiny spirit. It giggled at them and tilted it's head, observing with it's silver eyes. Flying and then landing on the uniform Reed observed, it looked at him with curiosity. Aven stepped into the room then, Reed couldn't see them. More of then sat on instrument cases and all looked at them curiously. Music spirits. They all giggled and played with eachother, causing dust to fly around the room, causing Reed and Aven to cough more. She looked at Reed then and smiled, they were just curious. "All music students have to learn at some point.. We might not get a HUGE band but, we will one day." Placing her hand on his shoulder standing next to him, she looked at the uniforms. There were a lot of them, more then she thought there was. She then took her hand off of Reed, her eyes peering at the room, looking at the instruments. "I'll commit one day to cleaning this room. But do you think we should get out a few instruments for the students today?" Aven's golden eyes then looked at Reed as she turned her head with a playful smile.

Soran “Koail” Ibrahim “దేశం ఆలోచిస్తూ లేదు, అది చర్య అన్నారు.” xXxFeeling himself frown, Soran glanced at the little booklet again and gave a slight shrug. "I'm going to say neither, or both, I suppose. I... Um... I don't really know what one would call me. Viaresu says I am like the very essence of music, a musician with no limitations other than sheet music... Of course, he said he'd keep writing my sheet music for me though since I don't exactly understand it, but I just... I don't know," the vampire murmured lowly while continuing to stare at the booklet. The only change in his movement seemed to be how he was now playing with a couple of dogtags attached to a black collar with little silver spikes going around his neck. How was he supposed to really answer that question when he could be on either side of the choir? It was as awkward a question as being asked for sheet music!

Alli looked over and gently poked his nose, something she kew that would make her feel better anyday. "So your saying you can sing both high and low notes? If so then that means your a tenor! You can sing on the Treble and Bass cleft." She exclaimed, turning her body to face him. Alli smiled at him a sweet little smile, her tail swishing about a little bit more energetic. Her ears sticking straight up. ...Please Don't Look At Me That Way...

Dantes_river Soran “Koail” Ibrahim “దేశం ఆలోచిస్తూ లేదు, అది చర్య అన్నారు.” xXx"I can also sing like a girl or a boy so technically speaking, I can sing the highs and lows of both genders," Soran admitted while rubbing the top of one foot against the bottom of the other. Tilting his head to the side slightly, he just seemed to be confused on the term tenor. Scratching his ear with one hand, he pointed slightly at the little C-shaped symbol. "Tenor? So I can sing to the notes of this little symbol thing?"

Reed de Févin"You were my everything."Reed just smiled. "As long as there are students willing to learn music, I'm fine with any size of a band." he said. "Besides, marching season's over, so we won't have to worry about this for a while." he laughed before Aven mentioned the instruments, making him look over to the dusty cases. He coughed when some dust flew around his face again and waved it away. "Eh, not right now. Let's take a look at the rest of the band hall and clean it and the music library up, then we'll worry about instruments." A sigh escaped him and he rubbed the back of his head once more. "Man... Who the hell ran this place before me? This entire band hall is on the verge of collapsing." he murmured."Your music will live on."

Alli looked at his face and noticed his confusion, maybe if she decided to give him the definition? "Well a tenor is this actually.. the adult male voice intermediate between the bass and the alto or countertenor... but if you said you could sing high notes like this..." She said as she played a high E in the Treble cleft. "Then you would be a High tenor and you can sing the same notes as me.. Well in the high pitches I mean.." Alli said, knowing that probably didn't make any sense to him. It was hard trying to explain things, when you don't really know where someone is in their knowledge about it. ...Please Don't Look At Me That Way...

Soran “Koail” Ibrahim “దేశం ఆలోచిస్తూ లేదు, అది చర్య అన్నారు.” xXxOpening his mouth and inhaling to speak, the male stated on thing only as his response to the girl trying to explain a tenor to him. "I have no idea what you just said, Miss Alli." Soran then gave a sigh of defeat before pressing down on a few keys to the piano in a simple pattern with one hand. He honestly had no idea what she was talking about when explaining what a tenor was. Sure, he could remember previous teachers mentioning things like altos, sopranos, bass and tenors, but he still didn't know what the difference between them was. He'd probably even been told what they were before! "Why is sheet music so difficult? Who even came up with these fricking terms of tenors, altos and sopranos? I hate this stuff... It's so confusing."

αven ωrightAven simply nodded as she chewed on her lip. Her hand ran through her hair as she looked at Reed then. "I honestly think no one did. All this money went into it but no one was willing to teach it before you.. Students have just been coming in and doing as they please, probably why the place is such a mess." She sighed as she then walked out of the storage unit, looking around the auditorium in search for the library. She would get right to cleaning the library and sorting the music. Glancing at Soran and the neko, she giggled. They seemed to be having fun.
