Guys,
In my house two clarinets, one tuba, the piano, voice students, and
the drums can all be heard. We have two cats (they just walk away), a
dog (he disapears quickly), two lovebirds (they sing along), several fish
(never seen a reaction...), and a turtle (ignores us). We have to watch out
for the other players, though, who think that its their turn to make a
racket. This is what happens when the entire family is taking music lessons.
Add in the stereo system with quite a hefty junk of classical music (my
brother is working on his conducting skills also), and the house is rarely
quiet. I think the neighbors must have earplugs.
