Answers from Students on Music Exams/ Statements made in Music Classes:
The principal singer of nineteenth-century opera was called pre-Madonna.

Music sung by two people at the same time is called a duel; if they sing without music it is called Acapulco.
A virtuoso is a musician with real high morals.
Diatonic is a low calorie Schweppes.
Probably the most marvelous fugue was the one between the Hatfields and the McCoys.
A harp is a nude piano.
An interval in music is the distance from one piano to the next.
The correct way to find the key to a piece of music is to use a pitchfork.
Agitato is a state of mind when one's finger slips in the middle of playing a piece.
Refrain means don't do it. A refrain in music is the part you'd better not try to sing.
I know what a sextet is but I'd rather not say..
Henry Purcell was a well-known composer few people have ever heard of.
Rock Monanoff was a famous post-romantic composer of piano concerti.
From Elementary school students...
* "If you keep moving two fingers real fast on the piano, you get a
thrill."
* "I can't reach the brakes on this piano!"
* "A good thing to remember about trying to pick up a tuba is don't."
* "Tutti means everybody toot at the same time."
* "Fortissimo means real loud. It is the way a composer yells on music
paper."
* "Pieces written in minor keys sometimes make me feel nervous, like
when my mom is looking at me under her breath."
* "By shortening and lengthening tubing filled with air, high and low
sounds can be made. Only wind instruments can understand this well
enough to make it work for them. When electric currents go through
them, guitars start making sounds. So would anybody."
* "When we blow into a whistle, the air is pushed together in some
places and pulled apart in others. Naturally it screams and that is
the sound we hear."
* Question: Who composed The Hallelujah Chorus? Answer: "George
Fredric Doorknob."
* "Richard Wagner was born in 1813, supposably on his birthday."
* "Bach died from 1750 to the present."
* "Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died from this."
* "Handel was a deeply religious man because in some of his music he
talks about Ye and Thee and people like that."
* "Handel was half German, half Italian and half English; he was rather
large."
* "Berlioz proved he was a wonderful composer by going insane."
