Conductor: Well I guess you’re good at… playing loudly.

[official-cello]

have you ever messed up a fingering so badly that you want to go back in time 30 seconds to preemptively slap yourself

[classicallytrainedidiot]

especially when it’s during a private lesson :/

oh this is about instruments?

[trufflupogus]

[parmandil]

also: I LOVE the absolute predictability of opera seria both musically and textually. there’s nothing better than knowing exactly where that recit line will go and what godawful rhyme will pop up and what entirely unbelievable stage action and plot twist I’m gonna witness next.

The ‘Super Mario Bros.’ Theme Song on Marimba by percussionist Aaron DeWayne.

[yoes]

the transition to the underground theme I am sobbing profusely

[mrs-chief]

Y'all need to stop saying shit like “songs with the same bpm”

Beats per minute is a unit. The word you’re looking for is tempo.

If two songs have the same tempo, their bpm are equivalent.

You wouldn’t say two people of the same height have “the same inches.” You would say height. So stop saying two songs have “the same bpm” when you can just say tempo

I’m an assistant band director don’t argue with me

[saintbaselshouse]

I have a music degree and taught for over a decade. You can say BPM or tempo it’s basically all the same. Don’t let the classical music snobs get you down

[mrs-chief]

Oh no, I made a post voicing a pet peeve of mine and suddenly I’m a “classical music snob” even though I’ve been playing baroque flute for over a decade professionally…

[saintbaselshouse]

Yeah I mean… Well there it is
