HEBB2 : Music Room

Dani walked into the music room in her dark long sleeve shirt and ragged jeans, she looked at the guitars hanging oppisite her and ran over them. Grabbing a cherry red acustic she sat down and began to strum "stair way to heaven."

Kaitlyn had heard the rumor about a Music Room being in the house now. She screened and ran inside!!! " OH MY GOSH!!! IT IS HERE.. THE ROOM I HAVE BEEN ASKING BIG BROTHER ABOUT!!!!" The first thing she saw when she ran in was a beautiful harp. She sat down and started to play a heavenly tune.. She than noticed Dani playing on a beautiful guitar. "Oh I love that song!" She said as she started to play along with her.

Mick grinned as the new room appeared and straight away walked in and picked up an electric guitar sitting in the corner and began strumming

Pamela walked into the room. "Oh thank heavens!" She exclaimed. "Can anyone play the piano? I need to practice. I haven't worked on my voice in weeks." Pamela was a bit dramatic, but she had spent a lot of work getting her level of ability to where it was and she didn't want to have to go through it all again.

She ran to the bedroom to get her sheet music. She had brought it with her in case there was a piano and people with the ability to sight read and play piano. She was back in the music room almost faster than even she could believe.

Then, she plopped herself down at the piano and started running through her usual warm ups--some scales, arpeggiated (I can never spell that word to save my life) chords, etc.

Kaitlyn saw Pamela come in and said " Ill help you.. I play the Piano pretty good.. Ill help you." Kaitlyn said as she walked over to the piano and sat down.

"Oh wonderful," Pamela replied. She opened her folder and searched through her music, trying to decide what to start with. She pulled out "American Lullaby" and handed it to her. "Can you play that?" she asked. It was a fairly simple song and would be a good one to warm up with. Then she stood up to let Kaitlyn sit at the piano.

Kaitlyn sat down and than looked at the music " I have played this before.. sure I will play it!" She said as she played a concert f on the piano for a warm up not.

Shadow walked in, looking around. She spotted an Irish penny whistle and began to play.

Kaitlyn watched a Kim and Shadow walked in. she smiled at them and than waited for Pamela to get ready so she would practice.

"I'm ready whenever you are," Pamela said, pulling herself out of her own thoughts. Then she waited for Kaitlyn to begin the introduction.

Kaitlyn started into the intro of the song and played. After a few measures Pamela's part came in.. she played the following cord and waited to follow Pamela's singing.

Pamela began to sing with the music Kaitlyn was playing to accompany her. It was an alto song, and Pamela was a soprano. She still enjoyed doing it anyway, even if it wasn't much of a challenge.

When they reached the end of the song, Pamela asked, "Do you think we could do one more?" She thumbed through her folder and pulled out "When Love is Kind" This one was a challenge for her, but was not one of her favourites. Then she stood patiently waiting for Kaitlyn's confirmation.

Kaitlyn looked at the music and said " Okay, I can do that one. I will be sight reading it though bear that in mind." She said.

Chris walked into the music room and listened as the people played the instruments.

Kaitlyn took a temporary leave from the piano and walked over to Stephy.. " Can I join you?.. oh and what key are you in?" She asked as she got her clarinet out.

Kaitlyn smiled and than looked at Stephy piece of music " It looks like the key of D minor" She said with a smile.

Kaitlyn smiled and than said " Its Okay I'm sure your music teacher is Okay." She said. After that she soaked her reed and put it on to play.

" You are kidding me! Our teacher much be pretty grand than. I learn a lot from them." Kaitlyn said as she looked at Stephy.

Pamela was done with singing considering the person playing for her had stopped. That was okay, though. Pamela had spaced out for an unusual amount of time. Kaitlyn couldn't be expected to wait on Pamela. Instead she decided to sit awhile and listen to everyone else play.

Kaitlyn played a A flat scale to warm up and than waited for Stephy to finish warming up. After this she looked over to Pamela and said " Why don't you come play with us!"

"Well, I don't really play anything anymore," Pamela replied.

" Oh ,but maybe you could hum along!" Kaitlyn said.

"Well," Pamela said, "I suppose I could improvise some sort of vocalization or something."

" Okay!!" Kaitlyn said with a smile as she waited for Stephy to finish warming up.

"I'll think of something. You two start, and I'll join in," Pamela said.

Kaitlyn smiled and than raised her Clarinet up to her both. She looked at Stephy and than breathed in time as to start to gather. Kaitlyn started to play and looked over to Pamela to see how she was doing.

Pamela listened for a moment to get the idea of what Kaitlyn was playing: the meter, key, etc. Once she felt confident, she joined in vocalizing about a 5th above Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn smiled as she sang. Not being able to talk she just smiled at her and than looked at the music again. She kept smiling until she smiled so much that she squeaked and than got serious again.

Pamela's voice cracked a bit when Kaitlyn squeaked. She had been trying to follow Kaitlyn and hadn't anticipated such a sudden change. The effect was rather jarring, but she kept going nonetheless.

Pamela smiled and nodded encouragingly to Stephy when she joined in. She adjusted her little descant to fit with both of them.

Kaitlyn nodded at Stephy as to say that she was doing good and than she looked at Pamela. This was a fun song to play! When Kaitlyn played the last note she put her horn down and than said " Man you two are awesome!"

"You guys were great," Pamela said. "It felt really good to get the chance to sing. Well, sort of anyway." Pamela thought for a minute before saying, "how cool would it be if we could hold a concert."

"Or we coud do some sort of showcase," Pamela continued. "I think there are still some other musicians here."

" Now this is the best Idea I have heard in a long while! I think we should. We could have maybe a talent show type of thing!" Kaitlyn said as she looked at the two.

"I don't know," Pamela said. "It's beginning to look like Stephy and I may get evicted. Maybe I should go pack."

So far Stephy and Pamela had three votes, but there were several people who had that many, so Pamela thought they may be fine. She wasn't ready to leave, and didn't want Stephy to go either.

"You think we could?" Pamela asked. She was feeling quite sad. She had no idea how the voting was going to go, but she thought there was a good chance she'd be out. If it doesn't happen this time, it probably will next time.
