Wrestling musicians?

Percussionist/Composer/Arranger/44-year college music educator (theory/comp/jazz studies) and LOVE my rasslin!

FWIW, I am a musician here also. Piano / Violin / Songwriting. Classically trained.

Awesome!!!

Opera singer and vocal coach here.

Also do some choral conducting. I’ve met a few opera singers here for work in Tokyo.

Wow!!! Really impressive!

Piano

Carillon

Pretty hacky guitarist here, I have paid gigs, not enough to make it a career though, but a decent side hustle 🎸 Nervous about BJJ screwing up my fingers, but I’ve taken to taping them up when the need arises 😅

Playing sax, too (tenor), but not professional. just as a hobby.

As a hobbyist musician myself, I approve!

Well guess now is as good a time as any been playing saxophone since middle school and got a degree in music last year so I would definitely say I’m a wrestling musician

Wow, fantastic! Congratulations on your degree!!

Wow! Pretty cool! There are a number of musicians on this site. I have a Masters Degree in Organ Performance.... OK, let the jokes roll! I've heard them all.... thought about creating the T-shirt! There are also a number of organist and pianist in here with music degrees..... There for a while, I seem to meet my fair share of attorneys! Interesting!

In short, there are lots of professional people in here!!!

Oh wow, that’s amazing! As someone who plays piano, i know organs are very difficult to play.

Also a musician, professor, choral conductor, and pianist.

Apollonian, we are way overdue! Maybe I could get to homecoming this year at your school, my Alma Mater!

And I’m going to be trying to figure out who your BJJ colleague is….

Wow, very impressive! I am by no means a professional musician but i have huge respect for people who are.

given how tough it is to find guys to wrestle in one's area of the universe, i don't see this happening, realistically. but it's fun to speculate. (meaning, distance, gentleman, distance).

Yeah, i know, but online recording projects are a thing

Old joke: what do you call someone who hangs around musicians? A drummer.

That's me! Self-taught and not very good, but enthusiastic.

Ooh awesome!!! Every group needs a drummer!! I am also largely self-taught on tuba

i do play a bit of piano, so we're most of the way to having some kind of sort of combo thingie. i try to sing also, and in fact some years ago there was a guy on this site from ohio who also sang barbershop, if you know what that is. don't think he's on here anymore–haven't seen him for some time.

Oh, that’s awesome! A combo would definitely be fun if we could pull it together.

Hi, I am bass player, you play tuba? I bet your the top of class. I’m interested.

Very nice! I actually didn’t learn tuba until grad school so I’m not THAT good, but i manage to do some parade gigs so i’m also not terrible.

Hoping this isn’t too off-topic, but are there any musicians in chat? I play tuba. Would be fun to have a MeetFighters jam at some point.

Semi-pro viola here. What a talented lot we are!

Surprising how often there's a piano/keyboard lurking in the background of profile photos!

And over the years I have noticed, musicians that also wrestle sort of seem to be into the same things! :-)

One of my colleagues, trains in jujutsu. During my interview for my current position, while I was between pieces on stage giving a recital, one of the committee members brought up that he also did jujutsu like I was doing at time. This colleague that I was performing with turned to me and said that rolling with him was also going to be part of the interview process!

We all got a good laugh out of it!

But he and I have worked out together and we always have a good workout. He is more advanced than I am, and a very patient teacher.

Yeah man- I’m a classical musician and professor. There are a few of us musical types on here.

Wow, that’s fantastic! I am also a college educator. Not in music, though.
