#string player problems

Dear Maroon 5,

"Memories" is just Canon in D with words and I'm very annoyed right now.

Sincerely, a string player who can't catch a break

Getting back into the swing of practicing is tough, but it's so rewarding in the end!

I got this from a fellow former string teacher. Violinists and Violists everywhere know the struggle is real.

I want to upload another video of me playing/practicing something, cause it helps with performance anxiety, but I also don't have the confidence rn 🙃

You know what sucks? Trying to play the violin after slicing open the tip of your left index finger.

me: psh I’m playing violin 2 for this gig, I don’t gotta practice nothin’

me: *actually looks at part the day before gig and finds random three lines that are in the stratosphere and at a tempo that would make ‘flight of the bumblebee’ pee itself

me: well fuck
