[edit] About me

I am Jane, and I am a n00b. Please don't hurt me.

I'm 16, live in Glasgow and have far too much time and a very messy bedroom.

Anyway I will write a longer bio later but by now it is longer than the userboxes (SHOCK!) so maybe I'll be less verbose.

[edit] Music

I like music.

[edit] Instruments I play

I am not an advanced kazoo player, I lied. In fact I don't have one anymore, but that will be rectified I am sure. As far as the other instruments are concerned:

  • Flute: ABRSM grade 7/8-ish,
  • Piano: I got a merit in my ABRSM grade 6, so now I'm working on 7,
  • Recorder: I'm not a novice, like primary school novice, but I don't take lessons and my technique isn't bad. I play primarily descant, then treble and a bit of sopranino.
  • Acoustic Guitar: I'm self-taught and only read tabs, and have small hands to boot. Acoustic but I could be persuaded into the world of confusing buttons and twiddly things.
  • Voice: I'm not bad but not brave enough to have a userbox for it :D My range sucks, it's about from the E below middle C to the B above middle C. Restrictive.

[edit] Musical activities

As a flute player and a fairly decent one at that, I'm in several bands and orchestras:

  • East Dunbartonshire Secondary Schools Concert Band and Orchestra
  • Scottish Schools Orchestra Trust (Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Wind Band)

In the past I have played in the East Dunbartonshire Primary Schools Orchestra and Training Orchestra, and in the future I hope to play with the West of Scotland Secondary Schools Orchestra or Concert Band. With these orchestras I have played a lot of standard orchestral repertoire, including:

As a solo flautist I have developed a liking for Otar Taktakishvili, Francis Poulenc and Quantz, among others. My favourite piano repertoire, although limited, includes Grieg, Ludovico Einaudi and George Winston.

[edit] Music I listen to

I'm reasonably open minded when it comes to music, I'll listen to most stuff except ned and bam music. I like most types of rock, and a bit of metal, some indietronica and some of the more classical chillout stuff like Kinobe and Jon Hopkins.

Favourite bands of the moment:

I'm a sucker for the emo.

[edit] Dancing

Not much about dancing I suppose, I am BBO Intermediate Foundation level in Ballet, and I stopped doing Tap but got to BBO grade 5. My roles in the past include Cinderella and my future roles will include the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Proud owner of 4 ex-pairs and one good pair of pointe shoes! (All Bloch, if anyone cares).

[edit] Other interests

Reading sleeping eating internetting origami embroidery yada yada yada. I'll finish this later, it's 01.20am and I'm wearing quite an expensive linen dress.
