    MTV Australia Awards 2009

    I was just wondering if anyone had a playlist of the songs that were booming from those loud, loud speakers during the red carpet session last Friday. Thanks in advance!

    Musicians at UNSW!

    Hey all, I play the guitar and am going to be a second year in 2009. Wait, that sentence sounded really random because those two facts were relevant to each other at all. Oh well, anyway... So! Obviously there must be other musicians at UNSW, so hurrah. Has anyone joined the Music society or...

    What's the name of this Chinese duet?

    Okay, I apologize in advance for the lack of information, but I've been attempting to find out the name of an Asian duet, which I've seen people put on in karaoke places in the city a few times. From what I remember, the song is in Mandarin, and involves a guy and a girl sort of singing to each...

    Composition For Film, Television, Advertisements And Video Games

    I'm sincerely interested in a composing music for media as a career, but have little idea as to how to approach university degrees for this purpose. Are there any credible institutions or universities that provide worthwhile composition courses? In America, for example, some colleges actually...

    Career In Advertising

    I've recently become interested in a career in advertising, but I don't know the correct term of what I'm looking for, which makes searching for possible university degrees and like quite difficult. I'm intrigued by the possibility of creating advertisements for television and billboards (and...

    SAE (What alternatives are there?)

    I visited the SAE website and attempted to glean what information I could. However, I didn't find it to be overly clear and it actually reminded me a little of the AIM website for some reason. Hmm! In plain English, what exactly is the difference between a Certificate course and a Bachelor of...

    What's your favourite radio station?

    I don't listen to the radio very much any more, but I used to (although now I can't tihnk why) be an avid fan of the modern rock music of Triple M (104.9FM). These days, when I do listen to the radio, it's almost exclusively classical music, since I prefer to listen to only my own choices of...

    Clarify this: "it's the ranks that matter"

    Although I've read several threads and statistics sheets on the topics of scaling and UAI calculation, most are fiddly in design and possess an anti-user interface. Thus, in simple English, could someone verify or dispute the following? It's the ranks, not the marks, that matter. I'm tossing...

    Statistics, anyone?

    I've heard that playing a more obscure instrument may act as a bonus, as it's more difficult to mark an instrument most people would not know how to play, creates a pleasant break from the constant AMus-level pianists, and appears more impressive overall. Thus, would anyone be able to provide...

    Performance Opportunities

    I'm interested in expanding my musical horizons for performance. Thus, are there any web sites or organizations that would host listings or news for, say, musical orchestra members or session musicians? I'm just hoping to be able to perform something outside of school and AMEB exams. The idea...

    Difficulty with figuring out music

    It often seems that the little inspiration that strikes me does so at the wrong times. While showering or on the train, for example, I might suddenly think of a relatively good guitar solo or melody, but as a brain-to-MIDI converter has not yet been invented, the best way would probably be to...

    Some questions on the Music and Science courses

    Hey, I'm currently in Year 11 but I'm highly unsure about what course/University to choose. What's so awesome about UNSW is that it's the only place I've found so far to offer a combined Music and Medicine degree. However, I'm not sure about the Music side of it. Er, Arts/Medicine DOES mean I...

    Complete n00b seeks help and advice

    Hi there; although my questions are related to Science and Medicine, it's probably better to post it here, as they're also quite general in a way. Here's the situation. I'm probably going to end up studying Medicine, but I'd absolutely love to be able to make a career in Music. Lately, I've...

    Physics Olympiad

    Did anyone do this in year 9-11? How was it, how much did you study, and how hard is it to make the camp/team? Any general advice? I did it last year (year 10) with cramming only the morning before. There was only one question that I could actually answer because of my "studying", and it was a...

    Is it permissible to submit previously-created compositions?

    Although this would be excellent for me, I'd like to make sure it's honest first, due to the requirement of a composition diary. I'm not going to fake one, as that would be nothing less than cheating. A friend of mine says he will probably use a previously-created composition and simply...

    Music 1 and some related questions

    Note: if you would like to skip all the introductory rambling, head down to the sentences in bold. Thanks in advance. I apologize for the disturbing length of this post. Before I bombard everyone with my questions, here's a little relevant background information about myself. I've just started...
