7 Things I Wish Parents Would Stop Teaching Their Children:

That nudity is inherently sexual

That people should be judged for their personal decisions

That yelling solves problems

That they are too young to be talking about the things they’re already starting to ask questions about

That age correlates to importance

That interacting with someone of the opposite sex is inherently romantic

That the default for someone is straight and cisgender

I always get one-day small crushes whenever someone is really nice and helpful to me damn I get attached to people so easily

Das Jahr 2015 startete für unser Orchester mit einem besonderen Konzert zum 70. Jahrestag der Befreiung des KZ Auschwitz. “Violinen der Hoffnung” nennt der Geigenbauer Amnon Weinstein seine Sammlung von Streichinstrumenten, die einmal KZ-Insassen gehört haben. Das Konzert war für uns alle sehr bewegend. Kontrabassist Janusz Widzyk hat diese wundervollen Fotos der Geigen gemacht. Mehr Informationen zum Konzert und zur Ausstellung finden Sie hier: http://www.berliner-philharmoniker.de/titelgeschichten/2014-2015/violinen-der-hoffnung/

2015 started for our orchestra with a special concert for the 70th anniversary of the Holocaust Remembrance Day. “Violins of Hope” is the name of the collection of string instruments, that once were owned by inmates of the concentration camps, collected by the luthier Amnon Weinstein. The concert was very moving for everybody involved. Our double bass player Janusz Widzyk took wonderful photos of these violins. You can find more information on the concert and the exhibition here: http://www.berliner-philharmoniker.de/en/titelgeschichten/2014-2015/violins-of-hope/

my problem is that i like boys in theory but not in practice so if i see a cute boy i’m like “damn i would” but when faced with actually dating one i’m just like “nah”

What's your opinion on violas

I really love the viola!!! I mean I play the violin (but I play it really badly lmfao does that even count as playing or is it just caterwauling) but personally I really like the deeper sounds a viola can offer and also the fact that the range can go all the way down to a C. I know a couple violinists that are like “oh the viola? just a rip-off version of a violin that can’t go that high” but I think it’s just a personal preference thing. And I like the viola also because my E string sounds terrible lol I rly need to get new strings…but like I’d probably stick with playing the violin in an orchestra because the first violins get the melody don’t hate me *runs away*

Idk I think I should just get a bowed instrument with 16372847262 strings that goes the three times the full range of a piano and more

I don’t think Mahler composed a solo voice part for this symphony, Mr. Rattle…

a few days ago I was in a drama rehearsal and I had a pair of heels on for one of my scenes and someone in my class turned round to me and said “your legs look great” and I replied “thanks I grew them myself” I said that I said that to someone

There’s no point to a guy yelling, “Hey sexy baby” at me out of the passenger window of a car as it speeds past. Even if I was into creepy misogynists and wanted to give him my number, I couldn’t. The car didn’t even slow down. But that’s okay, because he wasn’t actually hitting on me. The point wasn’t to proposition me or chat me up. The only point was to remind me, and all women, that our bodies are his to stare at, assess, comment on, even touch. “Hey sexy baby” is the first part of a sentence that finishes, “this is your daily message from the patriarchy, reminding you that your body is public property”.

I feel like being a musician is a constant roller coaster ride between “I’m awesome” and “I’ll never be good enough” with most of the time spent in the muddled middle practicing the same 3 bars over and over again and writing expletives in the margin of scores.
