Josephine Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hey there everyone! My name is Josephine, I'm 20 years old, live in the Netherlands and I really love music in general. So much so that I study classical oboe at the conservatory. I remember listening to the radio when I was I suppose about 6 years old, which is where I first heard Mika, I'm assuming I like the songs I heard because I remembered them (my memory is very blotchy from back then). When Mika did Eurovision I rediscovered him and started listening his music, but it wasn't till recently that I truly started to look up to him. I've read and watched some articles and interviews and the way he views music and life is just extraordinary. I hope this introduction is up to expectations, if there's any questions please let me know. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you. Take care. Groetjes, Josephine 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arianne921 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Hello @Josephine! Nice to meet you and welcome to the MFC! Like you I ever loved the music and, in the past, I have tried to play some instruments like piano, flaute or guitar but my teacher moved away from my city and then I haven't had many opportunities to continue to study with someone else also if sometimes, I try to play something! I have read in your introduction that you play classical oboe. It's an interesting choise! If I can ask you this...what do pushed you to study this particular instruments? Oh....you were a baby when you have discovered Mika for the first time! And me too, I love how Mika see the music and I love his vision of life! I hope you have fun here!

Josephine Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 2 hours ago, Arianne921 said: If I can ask you this...what do pushed you to study this particular instruments? It's a bit of a story. I have asthma and as a child it was encouraged for me to play a wind instrument. I was going to play the trombone but I went to the open day at the music school anyway. There I heard someone play the oboe, and I fell in love. It's a very eccentric instrument, it's really hard and very temperamental. But I've loved it since I was 6, and when I finally had my front adult teeth I was so so happy, because I could finally start lessons. Haven't looked back since. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
