Me: Is there any way to prepare for a performance so that my nerves won't make me fuck up?

Literally every single musician:

Push play and just trust me

This sounds like something that would be playing in a story set in Victorian London slums or something? I DON’T KNOW.

Vitamin String Quartet do covers of pop songs with classical string arrangements. Some of them are really close to the original, like:

Take Me To Church: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLs_-SXZGqE

Bohemian Rhapsody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjD80dBPelI

Wonderwall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvHkxAb3tNY

But others are just far enough away that they sound like classical music for a minute:

Pompeii: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIcDIZGlr9U

this oddly sad cover of Despacito: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAi-F1Io7gc

Alejandro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6kkHp_Qj-U

wasn’t there a Sherlock Holmes song sung to this exact melody?

[magic-owl]

If I may add some of my personal favorites, we have:

Animal I Have Become — (My personal fave) The perfect tango-style spicy dance number you need when your hero and villain are having a tense dance number together

Rockabye — For a group of plucky young fantasy protagonists trekking on a LOTR-style adventure!

Stressed Out — Another high-tension Victorian slum/ball-style one like Thrift Shop up there

Thnks Fr Th Mmrs — Training montage before a gigantic battle scene/just preparing for battle in general, hype music!!!

CrushCrushCrush — And here’s the battle sequence!!!

Kid during violin lesson

Did you bring your book today?

Why not?

Then did you bring your violin today?

Why not?

What are you even doing here?

[justanotherpiccplayer]

Me, working at an exam centre when I asked the parent of this really young child where her music was and the mum said “oh I didn’t think we’d need that!”

Whaaaaat you didn’t think your kid would need MUSIC for her MUSIC exam?!?!

[musicalyikes]

now that i’m teaching kids i understand how frustrated my teacher is when i don’t practice enough,,, and no this does not mean my practice habits will improve

Same here. Future Suzuki teacher.

music college kids: jazz edition

since i can’t relate to any of those other posts for conservatories

piano: if they switched from classical they’re pretty down to earth, always stressed but nice. if not, they’re dumbass caffeine addicts who think wearing sweaters make them “aesthetic”

guitar: greasy, unhealthy obsession with django, practices in their dorm but will complain about someone singing in the shower

bass: looks stoned but is actually just confused, says “dude” way too much, hasn’t properly clipped their nails in years

drums: chill aura, but gets super annoyed when they don’t get a copy of the lead sheet, inexplicably bad at spelling

vibes: acts easygoing but is constantly thinking of ways to change the arrangement, question mark spine, hermit

trumpet: has niche hobbies, probably high on allergy or migraine meds

saxophone: UNHINGED, knows far too much about a certain topic, only owns three outfits

other winds: likes not having the melody so they can fuck around in rehearsal

strings: hates all horn players, regrets their choices

voice: says “vox” out loud, practices swaying in the mirror, all of their social media is just promos for upcoming shows

pineapple: there is actually a kid at my school who plays the pineapple. life is hell.

[funkyliloboist]

maybe this will be what finally cures my performance anxiety... maybe next time I perform I’ll just be like

High school orchestra concerts am I right

[just-your-typical-human]

As any music student will tell you, the week before a concert is just a vicious fight for a chance to sit in the prized first chair.

[viola-bitch]

if you're not hyping up your stand buddy for their solo then what are you even doing
