Check out Lucky Chops on You Tube, Stand by Me, anyone of their clips it's the same routine. The guy on the sousaphone has the horn, shoulders, and arms going while dancing.

WOULD be involved, I'm guessing...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Yo-yo Ma is the king of this kind of physical playing. On the two occasions when I've been present to hear him with an orchestra, I've found it better to just close my eyes and listen.the elephant wrote:'cellist.

Re: playing musically
Having been a HS and Kollig sousaphone player, what I lack in talent I have always made up for in enthusiasm and volume.
No matter how tightly I close my eyes or more wildly I gesticulate, it does not make me a better player.
I do not consider chicken dancing while playing the Chicken Dance beneath my dignity, however.
(So long as it sells tickets)

Nothing quite beats dressing in authentic German garb and performing highly choreographed routines in the Orlando sweltering summertime heat while wearing a heat attracting tuba and wooden clog type shoes and doing the chicken dance 6 sets a day, talk about easy money, lol!!!

Re: playing musically
I've always wondered how the motions people make with instruments enhance the music. Then I remembered freshman year at music school. We had a class called movement. This was in the 1980s, so low brass players weren't yet expected to be effeminate. Someone played waltzes on the piano and we all pranced around like fairies. This was a mandatory class we got grades for. Twice a week on a big stage, freedancing to random music.
I suppose its the same thing as moving in your chair while you play. Its supposed to be expressive, although I m still unsure what it expresses.

Re: playing musically
How is "moving to music" a "nonsense curricula"?
It was good enough for Orff, and elementary music teachers teach in that style all over the place.

Did you just enter into evidence, that the academic acceptance of "nonsense curricula" is proof that "nonsense curricula" does not exist??anonymous4 wrote:How is "moving to music" a "nonsense curricula"?

I was thinking Super Glue for the fingers and Gorilla Tape on the mouth might help keep things in place while you move to the music.

Re: playing musically
Moving to music has it's time and place, and there are times not to move. If I went to an orchestra or concert band concert and saw the tubist swaying back and forth it would be distracting to me, if I'm watching a Marching band and the Sousaphones are moving together in choreographed moves that's adds to the show. Remember the big joke about Jerry Garcia "I went to a Dead Concert, and Jerry Moved"? It was unusual in a Rock band setting for someone not to move, and when a performer didn't it was considered a joke. It's really all situational, and what the expectations are for that situation.

Re: playing musically
I play a different type of music than most of y’all.
Audience members are generally there to dance. In that setting, if it looks like we’re having a good time on stage, that helps the audience have a good time.
Since I’m standing up anyway (I’m a sousaphonist), might as well dance!
