“it’s not spit its condensation”
low brass admits it
“it’s fucking spit” i tell the confused onlookers, creating a small ocean on the floor
meanwhile the horn players are sobbing because they can’t find the spit after emptying evERY GODDAMN SLIDE WHERE THE FUCK IS THE NOISE COMING FROM FUCK

Conductor: You need to die away slowly
Me: Can’t kill what’s already dead
I’m taking beginning guitar and I have to make a rep list for a final. And 2 of the songs on this list are being chosen and I’m like YOU BETTER CHOOSE THE GOOD ONES. And I’m still adding songs to this list. also i just felt like using a baguette sticker
I FEEL SO FUCKING BAD RIGHT NOW I WAS ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF A SCHOLARSHIP FOR THE MIDWEST FROM MY SCHOOL BUT I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE SO I CAN ATTEND SOUTHEAST CONFERENCE AND INTERNATIONAL HORN SOCIETY CONFERENCE
Stressed.
I’m feeling extremely overwhelmed right now because I was JUST told that I need an accompanist almost a week from now for a studio class. Like I feel like this is my fault; it’s so rude to a pianist to give them music almost a week before a performance. Like I feel gross and disgusting and I feel like quitting to avoid the embarrassment of being unprepared. I’m getting stressed by the second and I can’t focus on anything.
What do you do when you feel like the world is falling down on you?
It makes me really upset to see someone that I know who is majoring in Music Education using their phone during our keyboard class. Like he’s doing something that bothers a lot of directors and he knows it. A rule that I get most of the time is “Don’t have phones out during class”. It doesn’t matter if it’s music or general ed. It’s rude to the teacher and the students that are actually working.
And we were talking about our keyboard midterm and he told me he got a C and I just wanted to flat out tell him, “Maybe if you weren’t on your phone when you should have been playing along with the class, then maybe your grade could’ve been higher.”
Today, instead of practising what I needed to, I:
Sightread part of Schumann’s cello concerto in a minor
watched stranger things season two in its entirety
practiced guitar, which is not the instrument I was supposed to practice
Our director at our Halloween concert 🎃👌🏽
Clean that Horn
We were talking maintenance in my Freshman Horn Class and my professor told us a story about how a trombonist played his trombone everyday and also had a chronic cough. So, one time, he didn’t bring it on a vacation and he got a lot better. And he talked about it with his doctor and his doctor took swabs of the inside of his horn and they found viruses on viruses in that trombone. And this guy is just like “I didn’t know you had to clean it.”
Like, are there really people who don’t clean their horn? That’s just fucking gross. After that story, I don’t want to even THINK about the school owned french horns at my high school. So, now, I am sure to clean out my horn a lot more. Taking my professor’s advice, I do run my snake through my lead pipe with listerine. I also clean my mouthpiece at least once every few days. And I am going to give my horn a bath when I come home for Thanksgiving.
My horn happens to be a germaphobe and she’s probably going to make me a germaphobe too after that story.
you’ve heard of elf on the shelf, now get ready for
@classicalcarp i had to join in on the meme
this is beautiful
PSA: The new iPhone costs $999. The entire Cracker Barrel menu costs $887.71 …make smart choices.
Wait for it
Kinda upset at my suite mate right now.
My suite mate is kinda bothering me as it is. She doesn’t know how to respect my personal space and all she does is talk. One night I needed to sleep early because French Horn Fundamentals is at 7am. So it’s 9pm the night before and I told my roommate I’m sleeping early but she can keep the lights on for as long as she needs them. As I’m climbing into the bed, suite mate knocks on the door and asks us “Wanna talk?”. And I’m thinking that it won’t last for too long I can spare 30 minutes. She stayed for 2 hours. I was up until 11pm. If it wasn’t for my roommate, kindly lied to my suite mate for me and said she had plans early in the morning and she needed sleep, I probably wouldn’t have gotten enough sleep. My roommate said she felt bad for me, and I made it up to her with some donuts the next morning.
But earlier today, I came back from a rehearsal just utterly exhausted and suite mate comes in (this time without knocking) and starts up a long ass conversation even though I was about to take a nap. And then I told her which high school I went to. And she told me, right to my face, “I think my school’s band was better. Yours kinda sucked.” THat’s not something you say to someone who went to that school AND did band.
But what really gets me is how she keeps telling me “oh, band was so much fun I love band” but also emphasizes how she hated band and quit her senior year. Since I’m in the College of Music, she immediately thinks of me as a “band nerd” and therefore, she can send me all her old videos on her iPhone from football games and band related memes at 2 in the morning.
sorry i needed a rant.
This isn’t related to me playing horn, but I do Japanese song covers on YouTube and I’d be so happy if you guys could take a look!
When you really want to sing along to the K-Pop song you just got into, but you can’t sing the lyrics because you're very nervous you’re gonna offend someone.
JUST WATCH IT OK
Holt shit
YES
I am scared and confused.
I love this….those kids are geniuses…and do they actually know how to play/tongue/bow the instrument they were playing in that video? Not doubting them or anything it just looked like they swapped instruments….
Ok, as the person in the blue shirt on the left, I can explain what is going on here.
On the far left, you see a clarinetist playing a broken cello. She does not know how to play the cello. (Nor does that cello have any intention of being played.)
My friend and I are collectively playing a frankenstein of an instrument that I like to call the “Eb bassooninet.” It’s an Eb clarinet with a bassoon bocal attached. It sounds like a dying duck.
The bassoonist in the middle is the only one playing a normal instrument normally.
Second from the right, you see a clarinetist playing half a clarinet.
Finally, on the far right you see a clarinetist playing a Bb clarinet that is pulled out so far at every joint that it approximates an A clarinet.
The best part about this video is that everyone is actually a really accomplished musician, not that you’d guess it xD
@flutejesus
a blessed post
Oh my god this is hilarious
Ayyyyy it’s back! I love seeing these old videos of all the alumni!
