I’m graduating next spring from (what comes closest to) a musical college here, and one of the lyrics I am singing contains the word Doodlin’
what does that mean?
Well, doodle can mean “fool” or “simpleton”. It can be taken to mean “to make a fool of”, or it can also mean lazy.
Most of the time at least these days a doodle is a scribble, a quick drawing. Actually I think I’m wrong, hum, a doodle is normally a quick drawing to either help you remember something, or it can be a quick drawing in a book or magazine. Confused yet?
Really, words can take on different meanings in different contects. So without a context it’s really hard to say what something means. Sorry.
Say would the song be Doodlin’ by Ray Charles? In that case it is a quick drawing, or words, or drawing while you are talking. That’s it, that’s what I’m trying to say. 😆 I’m awful today.
“Doodlin’ weird things,
Usin’ the booth walls”It’s doodling!
That too. 😆 But, the rest of the song pertains to doodles. Even if it sounds like he was drawing on the table. 😆
So, “Yankee Doodle” means yankee simpleton. 😯 Kind of changes the song dosen’t it?

I think the word you are looking for is a “conservatory”
*ex-music education major here*

Concentration was voice (mezzo-soprano), but I have also played flute long enough that I could have majored in it easily (if I wanted to drive myself nuts… flute is soooooo competitive! The head flute instructor was also an idiot.). I thought voice was more fun and versatile (and no scales involved 😆 ).

ok 😀 you are lucky, I had to learn all the scales ( simmetrical dimminished scale, 1 1/2 and 1/2 1, blues, altered and every last f***ing one of them I am a mezzo soprano with a wide range majoring in jazz, and I once (a long time ago) played the bassoon
