The Best Part of Majoring in Music
Wandering the practice room hall and hearing all the people doing their thing so so so well.
Finally understanding and doing that thing your teacher has been explaining for a month.
The feeling of the last chord of a really good piece during your first and last performances of it.
Knowing that people won’t really care or judge you if they glance in your practice room and see you sprawled on the floor.
Knowing them might judge you a little if they see you standing on your head but doing it anyway because it really does help your intonation and you want to.
Sprawling on that couch in the music building lounge and making music puns at people you’ve known for ages.
Not having those people throw stuff at you for the music puns until like, your sixth or seventh.
Learning all the cool bits of music theory.
Finishing your last music theory class and being free of music theory!!
Finishing your practice for the day.
Rehearsing at eleven pm and getting a little (a lot) ridiculous with your friends because seriously it was supposed to be two runs of each piece and you’ve been here an hour now and you can’t see straight much less perform well but dammit all you’re going to herd these cats into one final good run-through.
Free food after recitals!
Not having to make decisions about clothing. All black is all right.
Getting paid gigs in your field while still an undergrad - YOU try that, engineering majors.
Harmonizing with basically everything that’s pitched - even the circular saw from the construction down the hall.
Having someone compliment you after a joint concert.
Watching your friends blow everyone away at their recital.
