EU: How to distinguish a tin blower from a drummer?

There are stereotypes in almost all groups and subcultures. For example, when I became interested in cultivation, I discovered, for example, that different parts of the cultivation are considered male and female. Lawn, male. Flower cultivation, female. If it is not about the cultivation of roses or clematis, which is a man.

A while ago I also read a report in the Financial Times where the journalist followed with the Los Angeles filharmonic on tour and discovered a whole bunch of stereotypes in classical music.

For example, strings often go in inheritance within the family. Prominent violinists often come from home where parents have also been professional musicians. To get good at violin you have to start so early that it is difficult for children to plumber and hairdressers to catch up.

No one will put an invaluable violin in the hands of a three -year -old, just on chance. Thus, the string section is considered purposeful, disciplined and (whisper it just) a little dry.

The tin blowers, on the other hand, are the ones you want to sip with. Bleck blowers have often come to the music world through the school orchestra – not the most common background among world -leading musicians. But so, tin blowers are quite ordinary musicians either.

The reason they started playing tinblows often has to do … Other characteristics. No one will hang a sousafon on a twelve -year -old thin with tinnitus. It requires a huge, uninhabited child who does not mind to honk in the handset in time and time. Welcome to the brass!

The reporter from FT notes how the divorced violinist pair in the orchestra sits and buzzes on each side of the room while the friendly tin blowers pass by and make a barrel sound with the mouth. That's how they warm up.

Within the rock, Groupies has known to This kind of stereotypes since ancient times. Singers and guitarists are divorments, bassists stylish and tricky and drummers … Yes, you know how to get a drummer to drool out of both mongoose? By setting the drum set flat.

Prejudice has, rightly so, attracted a bad reputation. But sometimes it is practical to divide the world into well -defined categories. It makes things more easily understandable. It saves time. And sometimes it's just a little fun. As long as anyone who wants can continue to grow clematis and even tunnies are allowed to honk in Tuban.

Possibly we may also be a little kinder to drummers in the future.
