What sort of face do you make when playing music?

[SugarfootWillie 383]

I found this video in the depths of the internet after years of forgetting about it, and it brought to the forefront of my mind this: I make some funny faces when I get into the pocket.

 

So I gotta know: do you make faces when you feel a groove? What sort of faces do you make?

 

 

I know I've made these

The same face I make when I make love.

If I have to really concentrate on a difficult part, I tend to suck both of my lips into my mouth...looks like I have no teeth

I have a homie that does the same thing. When I need to concentrate I look like I'm angry at my fretboard.

I play play(ed) the violin, so I'm pretty limited to moving my face around. Most people see what they describe as "constipated concentration," as I've been told by some audience members. >.>

[SquipyCheetah 448]

I'm always focused and concentrated on the music. Once my orchestra teacher told us to focus on smiling while playing... It was a train wreck afterwards.

I just smile actually. Fast and slow music I play on the piano I just smile and enjoy. Unlike some, needs to move their body like :

Being a double reed player, I'm pretty sure my face always looks something like this (not me in the picture!):

 

 

But I really don't know as I've never played while looking into a mirror. lol

This is the face I have when I play music

As a trad Irish musician I seem to spend most of the time either looking down at the floor, or just draped over whatever instrument I;m playing at the time. This is more often than not due to the large amount of Guinness that seems to be involved in trad sessions. I still haven't decided if the pints a drunk between the tunes, or if the tunes are played between drinking the pints :grin2:

That I know of, I keep a normal face but have an internal org***, depending on the song.

EDIT: Do you mean playing music on a tablet or playing music manually on an instrument.

I... don't make a face when I listen to music.

[Biggybrony 244]

When I'm playing guitar, if it's a slow blues solo or something like that I will often have a slightly sad straight face. Kind of straight and expressionless with some sad droop around the corners of my lips.

 

If it's a piece of shred and it's really difficult to play then I might tense up a bit, my eyebrows will lower and I'll look a bit more stern. Maybe clench my teeth a bit if it's really intense, difficult or I'm really concentrating.

I don't play music, but I do listen to music, and what face I make depends on what type of music I'm listening to.

[Tom Gallagher 33,521]

When I sing, people say I make odd faces. I guess it's because I'm concentrating. 

[Splashee 28,537]

Never even thought about it 

 

A neutral looking face?

[HeavenSunset 1,867]

No face really, at least i don't think so

[Fritzy 1,690]

Depends on the type of music. Is something feel good? I smile maybe bob my head along a bit that kind of thing. Sad music get a sorrowful look. Really intense stuff gets well intense looks. You get the point.

Something like this:

(:D)

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,364]

I rock my head back and forth as I enjoy it  

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

I purse my lips and sometimes bop my head back and forth. If I'm listening to something really sublime, I sometimes have a pained expression, like I'm about to cry.  

[Treeglow Flicker 13,018]

I'm not sure. But potentially something like this:
