I <3 music theory.

I took guitar from 10-12 grade in high school. I loved it. Then the summer before my freshmen year of college I decided to major in music.

As do I. My favorite class this year, in spite of how horrid I am at sight singing.

It and incredibly imprtant tool. If you can master then you'll be able to audiate a piece of music.

Yeah so I bought Deliverance. Not that I hadn't heard it before, but there was no "My arms your hearse" where my friend bought it for me.

Yeah I talk on topic stuff.

I can't decide whether I want to major in that or Education. I have some odd desire to be a teacher, I just think it would be a fun job.

I've been playing guitar for a year now, I started when I was 15. I'd love to make a career out of writing music, but I doubt I'll ever get to that point.

Sorry guys, I'm leaning towards not voting for Lopez in the drummer poll. :(

Same with me, teaching is just appealing for some reason.

I'm not even trying a career in music, I'm too realistic for that.

so your going to teach music?

Whats most appealing about teaching to me, is the fact I'm passing on my passion to kids.

Can't really do much else with a music degree than teach music anyways.

To all who say that they'd like a career in music: go for it. It you really feel that music is a special thing to you and truthfully you will be dedicated to it and willing to give up your time for it, you should totally go for it.

Session work, Producer, Sound Engineer, etc

Session work: yes; producer and sound engineer: no. Music theory isn't going to help you work recording equipment :P

Producers need to know how to play every instrument. With the technology used today in recording you need a college degree. (its a music business degree)
I was incorporating all types of music careers.

Ok well generally when someone says 'music degree' they mean they're going to study music itself. I go to school for audio production and recording meself.

Plus, this way, if I ever do feel like writing a record, I'll have connections. [/quote]

haha good idea
You're lucky that you have some idea of what you want to do, I'm still drifting through school without a major :/

Well, good for you then :P

That's not a bad trade off though...the Master's Apprentice alone makes it worth it.

Deliverance, Wreath and By The Pain I see In others are great songs as well.

[QUOTE=Crysiss]so your going to teach music?[/QUOTE]
Nah, just be a regular teacher. Probably English.

Teaching gives you the most benefits...my mom used to teach music.

Master's Apprentices and By The Pain I See In Others do the album for me.

Deliverance, Master's Apprentices and A Fair Judgement are among my favorite Opeth songs, but the whole album is strong.

You share my philosophy. MTSU for me, so's I can get me some music production/engineering degree. That 26 on the ACT (do any of you crazy kid's states use that, or are you all about the SAT?) should help me out a bit.

We like the SATs down here. I don't even know the scale for the ACTs.

It goes from 0-36. 18 would probably be what the average jock would get (average for my HS). 21 will get you a low paying scholarship paid for by the lottery. 26 and up will get you more money for that scholarship, and possibility for free rides to some skools. 30-36 are fairly rare, and mean you kick more as[size=2]s[/size] than everyone else.

I have no idea how the SAT goes, though.

Ugh, Wreath is a huge snore-fest.:p

That 26 is gonna need to come with some wicked good grades before the free ride offers start coming in.

I have no idea on the SAT either. Especially not since they changed it to a 2400 (?) point scale. I just know I kicked as[size=2]s[/size] on the PSAT.

EDIT: Wreath? Snore-fest? It's such a killer song. I love the production with the atmospheric guitars in the background too.

[QUOTE=Route 1]Ugh, Wreath is a huge snore-fest.:p[/QUOTE]
Nah, it's quite a thunderous opener...

[QUOTE=eighty d]That 26 is gonna need to come with some wicked good grades before the free ride offers start coming in.[/QUOTE]
tr00f. But that goes without saying.

I think you'd need at least a 3.5 for my college of choice. Too bad I have a 3.0.

:upset:


[on topic]I don't really like Wreath too much. It just keeps going and going.[/on topic]

But the solos... and the brutallity... :upset:

Oh, the repetition! Oh, the repetition!!

Add's to the feeling and power... feeling and power!

Man I have to get use to your new name...

I got a 30. *grins*

I got a 26 on my ACT and a 1100 on my SAT


What do you guys think of [I]Forest of October[/I]

I didn't take the SAT.

FoO owns.

[on topic]
I like Deliverance (the album), it's a very solid piece overall and I like all the songs in it (all but key parts, like the beginning to master's apprentices which I find dull, and some parts of A fair judgment and repetitiveness issues with BTPISIO), but it just seems... frigid, compared to say, Still life or my arms, your hearse, in the sense of not being as rich and... colorful, if you'd like to see it that way.

...eh

[school talk]

I got Damnation!!!!! Finally.

Fu[SIZE="3"]c[/SIZE]k me, only took since December. After 5 months of waiting for D & D and Amazon claiming not to be able to "source" both these CD's I thought f[SIZE="3"]u[/SIZE]ck it and bought both of eBay.

Just have to wait for Deliverance now.

7/8!

Np - Windowpane. :cool:

Quite frankly it blows. I was thinking, "Who's this n00b copying Scruples' avatar?" ;)

I got a 1300 on my SAT on the old scale (650 math, 650 verbal)...

My GPA was 3.1 unweighted (I took all honors and AP classes)...

I got into my first choice college, where I am now completely average compared to everyone else. College is definitely awesome, though. You have to deal with far less stupid people...

Several Album Re-Releases!
SONY.BMG is rereleasing several Opeth albums from the Music For Nations Catalogue including:

Whats the point? It's the older albums that are a bitch to find.

Moneymaking, my friend. Everybody knows those 3 albums are tons easier to get into. It's all about the moolah.

I thought Opeth were all about the music... :upset:

I thought we were friends, Kage. You said you'd have my babies, and I believed you.
