And now for a piece I like to call: “Winter break is almost over and I still haven’t touched my instrument”

Pro Tip

Make friends with people who play different instruments so when they play well you can be proud of them and love them to pieces instead of wanting to end your existence because you’re inadequate and should fgucking practice more

woodwinds: don't break my instrument. if you hurt it you will die a slow death.

Oh yes, I love all of the double reed instruments. Especially english horns, oboes and *looks at smudged writing on hand* baboons.

My Favourite Practice Methods

a) throwing music on floor b) crying over Milde studies C) ignoring the Milde Studies D) Playing only major and natural minor scales in the hope that your lessons teacher never asks for Ab Harmonic Minor on the spot e) praying to God that he rewards actually practicing in the summer with the bare minimum of not losing anything over the summer and that being enough to please your lessons teacher. Also bonus f) taking your solo at like half count just to remember what the rhythms and tongues you learned in April.
