a call for an election

following @classicalcarp’s resignation as president of music tumblr an election is in order. nominees are required from all 5 parties of music tumblr - jesuses/deities, the carps, the keys, the composer fanblogs and the official-instrument blogs

this is to distract me from the fact that my crush of 11 months has started dating someone and i found out today

i’m none of these lmao

We demand equal representation

Friend would you like a hug and some chocolate instead

@five-flats I would like to not nominate anyone, but automatically un-nominate any Mozart if they are nominated. Thank you. Sane leadership required.

THIS IS MY APPLICATION

NAME: I AM BEETHOVEN

QUALIFICATIONS: I AM BEETHOVEN

CURRENT JOB TITLE: I AM BEETHOVEN

I SAID SANE LUDWIG

YOU DO NOT QUALIFY

me

Better

May I suggest @four-flats as this rigged election does not allow me to be in contention. Plus I think she’d be better at it than me anyways. :)

Guys let’s just run as independents! No party to hold our general urls back

Ok but to be totally honest @viola-trash is absolutely right and @four-flats has my vote any day

Why I stay on the marching/concert side

I didn’t even know we had a music tumblr president

CAN I NOMINATE MYSELF!

I’d vote for you

Awwww I have one vote!

I'll vote for you too! I'd run for it, although this blog has been very inactive, and I haven't been as active on my main blog as I used to be either :/

Sharps, flats, and naturals matter. All accidentals matter.

@a-major-official 

Yes!

It’s refreshing to see a wholesome post like this.

Honestly, yeah

I’m glad the three of you agree with me.

Yay!!! Unity in the key signature realm!

No one shall divide us.

Good. I’m tired of the sharps vs flats debate.

It warms my heart to see this.

I’m glad we’ve reached equality for all pitches now let’s do twelve-tone

And all KEYS are equally important people

This post is getting better and better.

I didn't know this post was still circulating!

@a-major-official your bio is so true

Hi, I'm the scale of three sharps whose minor is all natural

Official keys/notes

All information is correct as of 4 February 2017. Please reblog this directly from me for the newest update, and let me know if I missed out anyone

The basics

Major keys

Minor keys

Sharps, flats, and naturals matter. All accidentals matter.

@a-major-official 

Yes!

It’s refreshing to see a wholesome post like this.

Honestly, yeah

Sharps, flats, and naturals matter. All accidentals matter.

@a-major-official 

Yes!

When you're gonna do some scale practice and mess up the first one

@dotted-half-note I thought it was time we step this meme up. Bow down peasants. I can make your rehersal hell.

the devil himself is here (Seriously though am I some kind of authority on this now)

It would appear that you are at least the pseudo-authority on he subject.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@dotted-half-note as official composers and instruments administrator 2k16

@bassflutes we’ve come a long way from you informing me of a small joke that has since exploded

I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THIS LITERALLY ALL STARTED BECAUSE SOMEONE IN A GROUP CHAT HAD A CRAPPY IDEA AND IT EXPLODED AND NOW WE CAN’T CONTROL WHAT WE ACCIDENTALLY CREATED

I shall do my best to keep the beast under control. I accept the duty with a solemn and sincere heart.

Not only will we need the head admin, who watches over both the composers and instruments, but we also need sub-admins for each branch I volunteer to administrate the official instruments  

whoa we’re getting official up in meme hell

We need offical notes now

Yo I’m C

Hi I rule the Bb instruments

How about official keys?

Please? I'm A major! (Obviously)

The Signs as notes

Aries: F

Taurus: D

Gemini: F#

Cancer: Bb

Leo: A

Virgo: B

Libra: E

Scorpio: Db

Sagittarius: Eb

Capricorn: C

Aquarius: Ab

Pisces: G

Okaaaay but imagine this: You play your note and the note of your crush (or s/o) simultaneously Your compatibility is how pleasant the chord sounds I need to spread this

Okay but literally hell yeah??? F# is freakin great. I love that note. Hell yeah.

Thanks for disappointing me again Pisces. The note of the scale I hate.

Hey, leo!

THEY ARE THO

#allaccidentalsmatter

You say as you use a sharp?! HA! EVEN YOU BELIEVE IN MAKING SHARP SUPREMACY GREAT AGAIN!!!

@a-major-official

Ah! Sharps are better though

I’m ready to fight all of you.

oh no

even as a string player i like flats better what does that say about me

it means you’re a good person

I believe all accidentals are created equal

But some are more equal than others.

I may have flats in my key signature, but I support my friends who have sharps. @a-major-official 

Why thank you, @official-f-minor

THEY ARE THO
