Is it just me or does is seem like female musicians aren't as close as male musicians? Male musicians always seem to hang, shed, etc together. Female musicians don't seem to even really associate with each other. I myself am a female keys player, I know other female keys players but we are not friends don't know why we aren't close. Maybe its a Memphis area thing.

Exactly. It's a female thing.

Well within the choir scene, majority of the singers hang together and they are females

And I bet they'll have no problem talking about another female member behind her back when she leaves the room. lol

Maybe it's because musicians are more competitive than singers, and the fact that there are so few of them makes them even more competitive. $:-\$

IONNO...i think there aren't as many female musicians as male. Maybe if there were more, you would see more fellowship. I never thought of this though....good topic. There are plenty of singers though. Are you counting singers as a part of musicians? Have you thought about initiating a shed?

As far as musician I mean physically playing an instrument. I have learned more chords and licks from local male musicians than females. Where I am located I could count the number of women musicians 20-30 age range on one hand. The strange thing is our churches congregate together but that's pretty much it. I pretty much am the baby of the bunch, playing wise. I wouldn't even know where to start as far as sheds etc.

Well if you can count the female musicians on one hand, how much fellowship can you reasonably expect?? Maybe you should ask one of them to mentor you, and take it from there. Or just hang out with the guys. *shrug*

There's a joke in there... but it's kinda tasteless.... and at best, not appropriate for such a Christian site as this...

I hang out with the males, lol.

But in my defense, there aren't any female musicians here, really. Except for my former FL and she shows me stuff on the keys when we get together, but she's very busy and much older than the rest of us musicians.

Ummm. Huh?

Did someone offend you? Did I?? I hope not; I surely didn't mean to. $:-\$

IMO, it takes extra effort to reach out and fellowship w/musicians in other churches, especially if your leadership tend to give you the side-eye for doing so. Do stuff like:

Go to Christian events and concerts
Participate in community events
Take/start a class (like choir, band, orch - to see how the other half lives)

If you're lucky enough to have a local musicians' fellowship, go and listen...
