“I'm 59 and live in Wales. We live with six people in a small house. I have three children and five grandchildren. Our family has a crafts business where we make jewellery but also larger sculptures.”
“I haven’t found the right instrument yet and I'm open to suggestions. I’m permanently disabled with a spine injury and partially paralysed from the neck down. I bought a violin in 2006/ 7 but can’t raise my arms high enough, or stand for long enough to play it. At the moment, I need to do all my practice in the Sonid application.”
“I learnt about sound during my MA in Moving Image. Much later I started learning about music theory. I wish I'd learned music theory earlier in life. I’m hoping to get back into Filmmaking and a good knowledge of theory would be helpful when talking to musicians.”
“Sonid has helped me begin to understand the underlying structures of music. My taste in music has always been Punk/Industrial and some Northern Soul. I've enjoyed more Folk and Country music as I've aged. Since using the app, I've been listening to a wider variety of music to try and appreciate the structure. I now listen to classical music and even pop songs.”
“I enjoy the discipline and structure of theory. Music is everywhere, mostly in the background. Theory helps in listening more closely.”
“Practice every day. I think it’s easy to get bogged down in the idea that we must have total quiet to practice. That’s not always possible with 6 people in a small house, but I still manage to practice anyway.”
