Instruments, genres, everything around the stage. The one set where humming is allowed.
A set about music: instruments, genres, the jobs and everything that happens between rehearsal and applause. The only set where using your voice is not cheating but the shortest route to the answer.
Music does not have to be described — it can be performed: hum the tune, mime how the instrument is held, tap out the rhythm. The rounds turn loud and unexpectedly theatrical, and even the shy players end up humming under their breath. Works beautifully after an evening with a guitar or a karaoke machine.
