Well: What about the people who actually do appreciate professional musicians and the music they play, and the music that is used in films? Personally, I think the rules are fine: I would really hate to see this part of the site overrun with things like rock, and genres that do not belong. I mean, if someone is looking at the music section and saying, "Well, I can't post my rock music, so it's junk," you are dead wrong. Dan may be the only person on here at the time, but I know a few people who would love this section, other than myself, if it were kept to classical/orchestral music... the "One man show" thing just isn't right... if people cannot compose music, can't they at least enjoy it, and realize what the real musicians and composers do? Rock and all that is not the only thing in the world... Professional orchestras and musicians get WAY to little recognition: And I know the feeling, I am a classical music student, and I have met many people, some quite famous, some not... and I know the road, the story... classical music is highly important, and I am not denying you think so, but I really do, in the long run of all the words I could post, think it should stay the way it is, with Steet's exceptions.

Yay, I ditto you!!!! I have a version of Finale... it's cheapy, though, it was the free download/trial version, but I still love it, I'll be working with that.

I couldn't agree more with this.
For example, it's especially annoying to see that for example, in video games, people are stuck on the graphics side and actually don't care when they buy a game to know if the music is good or not.
I'm doing the opposite, I always put music BEFORE graphics...I could play an horrible game with good music, but never the opposite.

Well that's a bit the same thing for films. The actors and directors get all the recognition, but very few people care about the soundtracks makers; they just don't know that a good soundtrack can make ALL the difference...

Righto... hopefully this fan music section will be used to benefit them, and their music. I am sure that people will learn much from it, even people who do not care for classical/orchestral type music... they will learn a lot, I know they will, this music section will be an ear-opener for everyone.



I feel stupid, and probably sound the same... but what's a jam session? I cannot imagine the word "Jamming" with Celtic music! Celtic music is the Irich-type style music, right? Like... jigs?
