Located on the fifth floor corridor is a classroom dedicated to teaching Music, wizarding and muggle alike, by occasional guests from outside the school. The room features rows of music stands and stools, a drum kit, a piano and a conductor's stand as well as a blackboard on the wall. This classroom also holds host to a mixture of both vocal and instrumental practices, so talented or interested students can make use of the instruments here as long as they don't take or spoil anything away.
he just had to come here he says lol. also open RP, for anybody :)

So there goes the curly head kid, popping around from floor to floor and room to room. Hogwarts castle was huuuuuuuuge. His dad told him lots about it specially the secret passages and hidden nooks he discovered from his days as Head Boy, but it seemed to Tenacius that there are more rooms that his dad didn’t tell him about. Did he forget? Are they new?
Then he stumbled upon this room and his face lit up like it was Christmas morning. Drum kits! Guitars! The curly top went straight for the drums though, picking up the sticks and positioning himself onto the stool. Man he didn’t realize how much he missed his stuff from back home.
He brushed his hands against the top head on one of the drums. They feel a little worn. These things must've seen some action. But are they still in tune? Only one way to find out....
He positioned his foot and his arms accordingly, deciding on an old favorite: Ironman.
Yeah thats what crazy is, when its broken you say theres nothing to fix++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++And you pray that everything will be okay, while you're making all the same mistakes

Olly was easily distracted. He was on his way up to Gryffindor tower to meet his sister, but he had been on his way for a while. He kept pausing because of this or that distracted him. Now he was finally all the way up to the fifth floor, only two more to go. He thought that maybe he would make it all the way without stopping again, but then he heard a noise coming from down the hall.
So of course Olly got off track and headed toward the sound. As he got closer it became evident that it was not just noise but music. Someone was playing the drums, in the music room of course. That made sense. Olly peeked in first, and saw that there was only one person in the room. A first year, Olly knew that because he had sort of been paying attention to the sorting only not really. So he didn't know this boys name.
Olly stood in the doorway, just listening as the boy played. He was pretty good. Hopefully he didn't mind the audience.

Azura had heard that there was a piano at Hogwarts and now she was moving through the halls at a fast pace for her before she slid to a stop as she entered the music room and her purple eyes went wide!!
Holy Fwoopers!
There was a piano!
She almost felt tears come to her eyes as she moved towards the piano and sat down, she pushed her black hair out of the way as she sat down on the bench and smiled as she ran her hands over the keys!

Ahhhh it was good to be back home!
Esme didn't think she had the best singing voice (though she could be wrong about that she supposed), but she DID feel that she was very good with instruments. She had inherited her mother's musicality even though she wasn't exactly itching to form or join a band.
It was more something to do to while away the time.
Planning to use the piano, she was a little surprised to see that there was already someone there. Apparently word had spread to the First Years. "Hello, Azura." Smiling, she moved to take a seat beside her on the bench. "You play piano?" Or was she more into hitting random keys? That could be fun sometimes.

Azura was just about to play something when she noticed a familiar face walk into the room and she smiled warmly up at Esme. "Hey Esme, How are you today?" She asked the older girl, her purple eyes shining up at her happily.
She nodded as the other girl sat next to her. "Yes, I play piano, I have all my life really and I was so excited to hear that there was a piano here at Hogwarts, I was worried that there wasn't!" She said with a serious nod as she started to gently play a soft tune (Moonlight Serenade)
"What about you? Do you play?" She asked Esme curiously.

It was nice to see Azura in such a good mood, especially after what had happened recently on the train. Esme wasn't sure if she should bring it up or not because sometimes it was best to leave things buried. Whatever the problem had been it wasn't an issue anymore. "I'm doing well! I just wanted to play for a bit." Sometimes it helped clear her head.
Azura played too!!
Esme was thrilled to hear that. "I've been playing for most of my life. I inherited my mother's musicality." Her dad was more of a dancer and Juno. She listened to the music and hummed softly before joining in.

Azura smiled warmly at Esme as she said she was doing well. "I'm glad to hear that! And feel free to join me! She said as she continued to play the song.
"I have as well actually, my Dad's parents insisted I learn, so I did and I sort of fell in love with it actually." She said with a smile as she tilted her head to the side. "That's so great! Inheriting something like that." Azura had gotten her mother's clumsiness!
She smiled over at Esme as she joined in with her and for a moment it was just the two of them playing the beautiful song.

From the moment Hady had stepped foot inside the castle she knew at some point she would make her way to this room once again. After finding it the year before it had quickly become one of her favorite places. She only hoped as she stepped inside that no one else had already thought the same as her or at the very least they wouldn't mind loud noise. Like drums loud.
Slipping inside she let the door click shut behind her as she scanned over the instruments. Still all the same from the previous year. That was good and could only mean one thing. The drum set was still there. Walking deeper into the room her eyes landed on the one and only thing she had came to this room for. Dropping her bag onto the floor she scooped up the drum sticks and settled herself down on the stool.
Twirling one of the drum sticks between her fingers she selected the song she had been teaching her cousin to play during the summer. With a small grin on her face she began to play wondering if Koen was indeed practicing back home like he had said he would.

Olivia had overheard talk of a music room.
That was all she needed to go off in a search of said room during one of her free periods. She hadn’t found it in any of her earlier explorations of the castle so there was space she could certainly leave out as possible locations. It made narrowing it all down a little easier, but not totally. It had actually taken a few days of looking to find anything remotely close and it was as she was coming back up from the library the floor below that she thought she heard the faint sound of music.
Getting off of the stairs quickly to avoid getting caught up in them, Olivia made her way down the corridor in the direction she thought it had come from. After checking several doors, the Ravenclaw paused before a closed one, now distinctly hearing drums. She tried the door and finding it unlocked, the first year ever so quietly opened it to curious to just come back. Then doing her best effort not to make too startling sound, Olivia closed the door behind her as the older girl continued.

It was so easy to get lost in the music when she was playing. It happened every time. Hady would always tell herself just one more song, play one more song, just five more minutes. Five minutes would quickly turn into ten and then a half hour, to an hour.
That's what was happening now. The snakette was so focused on the song she was playing and the loudness of the drum set before her there was no way she was taking notice to the small girl that had entered the room. Hady didn't really give herself time to notice really as the second she had finished playing one song she went straight into another. If the Raven kid didn't know the songs chances were she wouldn't even notice it had changed.

It was so nice to have found someone who enjoyed playing the piano as much as she did. Esme was quite happy now! This was such a nice way to pass the time and de-stress. Thank Merlin she didn't exactly have anything to stress out about...YET.
So her grandparents got her to learn. Esme had gotten a push from her mother, who wanted to nurture her musicality. "Oh, that's nice! My mom wanted to help me develop my musicality. She used to be in a band!" That had been years ago though. She had stopped playing once she had three kids because it was just too much to deal with. "I'm happy with it even though I don't think I want to be in a band like she was." As she spoke, Esme continued to play on the keys.

She was having so much fun right now!
Azura smiled at Esme as she spoke. And her purple eyes went wide as she mentioned that her mother used to be in a band!! "She used to be in a band? That's so cool! What was it called? What sort of music did she play?" Azure was super curious.. she had never known anyone who was in a band!
"Mmm, I am glad you are happy with it.. I love playing.. like I said.. I sort of fell in love with it.. and now I'm trying to write music as well! Yeah, she wasn't sure how that was going to go over, but hopefully it would be well!
She wanted to write a good song for Jazzy!!
Azura kept playing as well and she grinned at her friend..This was so much fun!

Olivia was relieved that the Slytherin hadn’t reacted to her presence. It meant she could listen and not have to feel like she was interrupting anything. Drums might not really be her thing, but the Ravenclaw could tell she was good at playing, even if the song wasn’t one she recognized. Or songs, as the tone of the music changed slightly and the younger girl perked up to pay better attention, realizing it had been a change in tune.
She moved in closer, at one point backing up as she discretely moved around the room filled with other musical stuff. However one wrong step sent her backwards into a bunch of metal music stands creating a racket as she and them fell down. “Zoinks!”

That was the thing about music. It was so easy to get lost up in the tune and keep the beat going without even realizing it. Hours could have passed her by and Hady may not have even taken notice.
Only that wasn't the case. Midway through the song there was a loud crash and it wasn't from her! Startling rather badly the drum sticks dropped from her hands to land at her feet on the floor with a clatter. Her hazel eyes roamed around the room quickly until they came open the small blonde girl who was now on the floor in a pile of knocked over music stands. "Oh my! Are you alright?!" she questioned getting to her feet and walking over to the girl, hand out in a gesture to help pull her up and onto her feet.

She had been bothered more with the surprise of it all as well as making noise when she had been trying not to than actually being physically hurt. And the sounds afterward made Olivia very aware that the drummer girl had reacted to her collapse even before she had spoken asking if she was okay. “Um…I think so,” the Ravenclaw answered as she moved to sit up. Maybe some bruising but she didn’t see any scrapes. She supposed it helped that she wasn’t in her uniform skirt but rather jeans.
“Thanks,” Olivia said as she accepted the offered hand and used it to help make her way back to her feet. “Sorry for interrupting you.”

It was hard not to giggle at Azura's reaction to the news; that was what usually happened when she mentioned it to people. "Lima and the Lemurs." Esme nodded. Yep, her mother was named Lima. "They did pop music!" They were pretty big too. "She was the lead singer though she was also really good with instruments. Still is." They had the ability to master any instrument they tried, though her mother was more passionate about it.
"I am glad you love playing too!" It was nice when people had common interests. The piano was definitely Esme's favourite thing to play though she enjoyed other instruments as well. "Oh, have you written any songs yet?" If so, Esme would have loved to hear them!

Eh… drums need tuning.
Tenacius started to shift around the stool, looking for something "Drum key drum key drum key….oh?" theres a kid by the doorway. How long has he been standing there? "Whad'up dude. Any idea where they keep the tuning equipment around here?" He didn’t look that much older than himself but hey, couldn’t hurt to ask right?
Yeah thats what crazy is, when its broken you say theres nothing to fix++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++And you pray that everything will be okay, while you're making all the same mistakes

There was no need really for the question even as the fifth year was a hundred percent sure the toppling and then falling onto the stands was not something the girl had done on purpose. Surely she wouldn't want to get herself hurt.
Once more looking her over to make sure herself. "I'm Hady, you're a first year, right?" There were so many this term it was hard keeping track of them all sometimes. "So what brings you to the music room, do you play?"

How many does she play?" She asked curiously.
Azura nodded.. "It's really one of my passions, besides potions, charms and reading." She explained a little before nodding slightly bashfully.. "I've written one.. it's nothing special.. and it's not even very long! It was sort of a trail run to see if I could do it." She said with a warm smile up at Esme..

Olivia nodded in confirmation. “Yeah, it was definitely an accident.” She wasn’t normally clumsy or have the desire to make a complete and utter fool of herself in front of others on purpose. Doing her best to act normal as the other girl’s attention seemed to be completely on her, she hoped she wasn’t being sized up for anything.
Right…like there was a reason for that, Stone?
“Yeah I am. Nice to meet you, Hady,” she answered with a polite smile. That made two of them she knew. One her age and one older since the girl in front of her was definitively older. “I’m Olivia…” she said, returning the introduction and nodding. “Guitar…at least I’ve been working on learning it.” And unfortunately hadn't been able to convince her parents to allow her to bring it. Though surely there had to be one around.

It was alright that Azura was giggling at the name of her mom's former band; honestly Esme thought it was a pretty silly name too. "I think my mom got it from one of her friends calling her a lemur." She giggled. Even if she didn't LIKE being called one, it still managed to be a part of the name. At least SHE wasn't the lemur. "We have some of their old CDs at home!" If she wanted to listen to them. Their old songs might also be played on the wizarding radio. "I can't even count how many. I know she can play piano, drums, keyboard, saxophone, bass, violin, harp, and flute. I think there are others I am forgetting." She bit her lip as she kept playing the keys.
"It's good to have passions." It made life interesting and gave it meaning. "I would love to hear your song." Esme was sure that Azura was being hard on herself. It was often said that you are your own worst critic.

Doing her best to act normal as the other girl’s attention seemed to be completely on her, she hoped she wasn’t being sized up for anything.
Right…like there was a reason for that, Stone?
“Yeah I am. Nice to meet you, Hady,” she answered with a polite smile. That made two of them she knew. One her age and one older since the girl in front of her was definitively older. “I’m Olivia…” she said, returning the introduction and nodding. “Guitar…at least I’ve been working on learning it.” And unfortunately hadn't been able to convince her parents to allow her to bring it. Though surely there had to be one around.
"You're really good."
No harm done really. Nothing was broken and the girl was in one full piece minus maybe a few bruises come morning time. "I figured that was the case. At least you weren't hurt." She offered her a small grin.
"Nice to meet you Olivia," she greeted in return nodding her head. Another firstie just as she'd expected too. This year was just filled with them it seemed but no big deal. "I'm a fifth year." Might as well confirm this just in case the blonde in front of her was wondering. Yeah she might be on the small side but she was older. No she wouldn't dangle her older age over the younger kid either, that wasn't how she worked.
Guitar though? Now there was something she could appreciate. "Oh yeah? I've been teaching my cousin to play over the summer. Are you taking lessons then?" If she was she was no longer being here at Hogwarts.
"Thanks, I'm still learning."

She giggled. Even if she didn't LIKE being called one, it still managed to be a part of the name. At least SHE wasn't the lemur. "We have some of their old CDs at home!" If she wanted to listen to them. Their old songs might also be played on the wizarding radio. "I can't even count how many. I know she can play piano, drums, keyboard, saxophone, bass, violin, harp, and flute. I think there are others I am forgetting." She bit her lip as she kept playing the keys.
"It's good to have passions." It made life interesting and gave it meaning. "I would love to hear your song." Esme was sure that Azura was being hard on herself. It was often said that you are your own worst critic.
Azura giggled some more.."I don't think I would like being called a lemur! Maybe a Red Panda, because those are the most adorable things on the planet.. But.. Azura and the Red Panda's don't have the same ring to it! She said with a soft giggle.
"Ohh really, I'll want to listen to them! I'll have to look them up! She said before her mouth fell open.."Wowwwww, she played all of those? Merlin that is amazing!" She said with a nod. She could really only play the piano and Jazzy was planning on teaching her to play the guitar!
Azura blushed ever so slightly as Esme spoke and she looked down bashfully at the keys as their fingers stilled.. "Well, all right.. just don't be too hard on me okay?" The purple eyed girl was still staring at the piano instead of her friend as she bit her lip a little before slowly starting to move her hands over the keys..
A slow, but pretty melody rang out.. even though it was slow.. it still seemed happy!
[open] casually playing the starwars theme on cello
HOLISTIC ACTRESS {X O} EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED
Lugging her Cello to the music room had been a handful. Seriously, all of the people in the corridors and on the stairs must have thought that she was rude as she made her way down those two flights of stairs and the many corridors that it took to get to the music room. Seriously, she was probably such a jerk.
But she wasn’t.
She just wanted to use her cello.
Leaning the case down on the ground she began to set up a music stand, a seat and then turned back to her cello and its case. The cello, unlike its case was clean and shiny and nearly free of fingerprints. Lifting it out of the case along with the bow she sat down in the little chair and began tuning the instrument…not bad the trip and her care of it hadn’t let it go out of tune that badly….the hairs on her bow were nice, taught and she was ready with her bow rosin’d.
“Let’s do this” she muttered to herself and slowly began dragging the bow back and forth her fingers pressing into the strings as she played the instrument. Only stopping a minute into the song to change songs pausing to turn on the piano-section she had a friend record that summer...the new song being one that she loved from a film she had made her sister’s boyfriend introduce her to.
