I'll put in another vote for just "Music" or "Musicians". – Ben Alpert Jun 22 '10 at 4:09

If it is going to be just "Music" or "Musicians" then questions about theory and composition ought to be allowed as well. There is another project being proposed (area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/7305/musicians) and everyone would benefit from combining efforts here, I think. if that's the case now, then the summary ought to be updated to be more clear. – Philip Regan Jun 22 '10 at 16:39

I think it would be a much better idea to have music performance/practice integrated into the same site; they really do go hand in hand; and having a separate project for each faucet musical learning/production can just get tiresome; especially when the tagging system is more than enough to separate musical areas. – DRL Jul 21 '10 at 14:08

I don't think it's necessary for you to add comments with whether you think it's on- or off-topic; that's what the voting is for! :D – Ben Alpert Jun 23 '10 at 6:32

it's an interesting question, but I think we should think about questions that could keep popping up even after several years, questions like these would end pretty soon in my opinion – UncleZeiv Jul 27 '10 at 23:28
'End' pretty soon? It's a worthwhile and relevant question, the fact that it can't be asked again isn't too relevant - that applies to most questions. – Noldorin Jul 28 '10 at 7:35
Down-voters, please leave comments, or I'll just have to assume you're ignorant. – Noldorin Aug 18 '10 at 22:26

Take away his bong? Silly Question, Sorry... – AttilaNYC Jun 19 '10 at 4:11

AttilaNYC: It Is probably not the best question, but the answers might make it better. I have had this situation before, where I and most of the orchestra couldn't understand a word the conductor was saying. Watching their movements more closely after they said something and using your intuition would usually shed light on it. If this is a long term director, you might want to talk to management so the conductor can be advised that he/she needs to work on communicating more clearly.... – Kyle Brandt Jun 21 '10 at 15:26
