First and foremost you need an ear for music.  You need to appreciate it and know what is popular and what people will listen to.  The equipment is just there.  A large collection of songs in many different music types, whether you like them or not, is also a plus.

what type of music do you listen to?\n\njonny b. goode if you want to do what every other player has done.\n\nif you are just starting I would highly recomend that you start out in blues and jazz, most modern music has it's roots in these genre's.\n\nlearn some basic 12 bar blues stuff as your foundation.  It'll give you strumming patterns, chord contsruction and progressions, and solo techniques.\n\nbut the bet advice you can get is this:  PLAY WHAT YOU LIKE!

Music is soothing, fun, lyrics, rhythm, poetic.  In elementary school it is part of education (at least in the primary grades).  It teaches love for singing, playing an instrument, perhaps dance.  Encourages students in a good way.

Well, that's pretty simple actually. For the Horn, it would be in E, c#; strings, no transposition; Trumpet & Clarinet, B, g#; Oboe & Bassoon, no transposition; Trombones, no transposition; Tuba, C, a; Flute, no transposition.\n\nnote: some Tubas are B-flat tubas, and then you would transpose to B, g#.

There are plenty of 2 pitched instruments, especially in the block or bell categories.  View the Ago-go bells at http://www.steveweissmusic.com for an example.

my opinion is that they divide into three groups. you have drums, mallets, and everything else. the drums are simple, bass, snare, tenor, and some other random ones here and there. mallets are marimba, vibes, xylophone, and electronic keyboards (yes you can play some with mallets!). and then everything else includes things like gok blocks, shakers, cabassa, and stuff. and you can't forget the  cymbals!!!!!!\n\nor just to put it simply, what you can march and what you can't

There are lots of choices in a school band - flute, clarinet, saxophone (alto, tenor & in some baritone), french horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, drums, oboe, bassoon.  I'm a flute player, so I'm partial to that - but I've always wanted to learn to play oboe or bassoon - they sound soo cool!  I don't like clarinet, personally I found it very easy to play - quite boring.  Same with sax, no challenge for me.  Trumpet is alright, trombone is soo much fun to play, as is tuba - you'd get to play the root bear song!  French horn is beautiful, but very challenging.  Drums - blech, they are alright, but not my style.\n\nAnd that's just it - you need to find YOUR style, not mine or anyone else's.  Try each instrument, listen and feel what they are like.  You'll find the one for you.  Have fun!

You can use a piano. Just play a note, and tune your guitar using the little twisting notches on the top. (twisting tighter makes it higher)

Harmony Central is a pretty good site for music instrument and equipment info.  They also have reviews.  You can also check out eBay or Craigslist.

Usually music/guitar stores carry an instrument blue book. They usually give you a pretty good idea or starting point. Maybe try calling around and asking if the store carries one. They should be able to look it up over the phone if you give enough info.

Hello!  A modern symphony orchestra usually has about 16 first violins, 14 second violins, 12 violas, 8 to 10 cellos, and 6 to 8 basses.  It also has perhaps 4 french horns, two trumpets, three trombones, and maybe a tuba.  Woodwinds include two flutes, maybe a piccolo, two oboes, maybe an English horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, and possibly a contrabassoon.  Percussion includes a few timpani, maybe a bass drum.  In all, the orchestra has about 80 to 85 instruments.  For something like Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, though, there could be more like 120 instruments.
