Fave Opeth... I don't really have a favorite song of all time


I'm a music major.

I'm not exactly sure if I have a single favorite song of all time, but I think I have two, and Opeth claims one of them (The Leper Affinity).

Since I'm still in high school, I've been thinking about what I want to do when I go to college. I'm really into music (duh, I talk on here all the time), and do you like what you're doing? Or is being a music major not all it's cracked up to be?

I love it, Just be prepared to work hard at your studies. The great thing about being a music major is that you form a tight bond with your fellow classmates.

Sounds like a deal.

Well now that Damnation is finishing up, I'm going to get off MX for the night. See you all tomorrow, fellow Opeth soldiers. :wave:

:wave:

Gnite friend.

I think I'm gonna major in music production/engineering...I since realized I'm probably not going to be a good enough musician to make a full time career out of it.

Plus, this way, if I ever do feel like writing a record, I'll have connections. :cool:

I never done music in school. They made it really crap, and I wasn't really into music in general back then.

Something I always regret is not taking music in school.

That's exactly like me, I hated music/music class in elementary, but then found my own love for it in later jr high. I wish my high school offered some kind of music program besides choir... :upset:

I took general music in 6th and 8th grade, and chorus in 7th. Hated all of it.

I got to take Music Theory this year, which I love. Best class. :cool:

A good portion of it is a bull**** class though...like today, we learned the fine art of moving risers down to the stage.

Our county has a horrid music program...

I know, it was bollocks. They sat the class down with a guitar each and all we did for an hour was strum. We weren't even doing chords!

17 isn't really late to start guitar. I'd have just preffered a little earlier.

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.

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.
