playing with too much espressivo

accidentally playing a minor 2nd with your section

ignoring 1st time repeat and 2nd time repeats and getting lost af

ignoring time and key signature changes and making the worst sounds ever

sight reading contemporary scores

playing a solo and faltering on one note

missing your sectional cue and hits

wasting your time instead of practising your new part and then getting to rehearsal trying to sight read the whole part

double tounging

excessive articulations

Music is something attractive and beautiful to the ear.... And every single musician is a manufacturer of beauty

Ugh Finals

I hate finals. I mean I only have two that I have to actually take during finals week but that just means I had way less time to prep for music theory.

My music theory final is today.

I have a high C in the class

Pls God let me get a B on the final

I want to be prepared for college

Music is like a tree.... The more care and love it gets, the bigger it'll grow until it is uncontrollable and filled with life, love and happiness 🌲💚
