 have you ever told or been told any music jokes? it can be  within any aspect of music, from just jokes about techniques  and instruments or whatever to artists and stuff like that  as long as it is an actual joke, and not just some random  "funny" comment. jokes are something special... jokes aren't  funny, but that's why I'm asking.

No longer valid is the old music-hall joke about the man  who, on being asked what musical instrument he play,  replies, "the gramophone"

ah, yes, I meant things that are jokes, not just  random comments like those. jokes are things that, like,  large parts of different communities or groups know, tell  and laugh at or whatever.. like this one from the orchestra  community:
 
  "what's the difference between a viola and a trampoline? ..you take your shoes off before jumping on the trampoline"
  a viola is not the same as a violin (if I've translated  correctly). it's basically a slightly larger violin that  goes a bit darker. it is considered a silly instrument by  all orchestra-people I know.

Thanks for these precisions but this doesn't sound like a  joke that everybody can understand as long as they don't  know what a viola is.

What do you do with a kid in the orchestra if he can't play  his violin?
 
  Take away his bow and give him drum sticks.
  What do you do if he can't play the drums?
  Take away one of the sticks and put him at the front.

Golden Rules For Ensemble Playing
  1. Everyone should play the same piece.
  2. Stop at every repeat sign, and discuss in detail whether  to
  take the repeat. The audience will love this a lot!
  3. If you play a wrong note, give a nasty look to one of  your
  partners.
  4. Keep your fingering chart handy. You can always catch up with the others.
  5. Carefully tune your instrument before playing. That way you can play out of tune all night with a clear conscience.
  6. Take your time turning pages.
  7. The right note at the wrong time is a wrong note (and  vice
  versa).
  8. If everyone gets lost except you, follow those who get  lost.
 
  9. Strive to get the maximum NPS (notes per second). That way you gain the admiration of the incompetent.
  10. Markings for slurs, dynamics and ornaments should not be observed. They are only there to embellish the score.
  11. If a passage is difficult, slow down. If it's easy,  speed it
  up. Everything will work itself out in the end.
  12. If you are completely lost, stop everyone and say, "I think we should tune."
  13. Happy are those who have not perfect pitch, for the kingdom of music is theirs.
  14. If the ensemble has to stop because of you, explain in detail why you got lost. Everyone will be very interested.
  15. A true interpretation is realized when there remains  not
  one note of the original.
  16. When everyone else has finished playing, you should not play any notes you have left. If you have notes left over, please play them on the way home.
  17. A wrong note played timidly is a wrong note. A wrong note played with authority is an interpretation.
