Please,

me, a cellist, auditioning for the washington met youth: let me pick a good and hard solo that isnt popular to make it interesting so ill get in instructor: yea play bach's prelude to suite no. 1 me:

you should play a super modern piece instead. like one that’s in 3/16 time and in no recognizable key whatsoever and requires you to put peanut butter on your bow instead of rosin

Who would do this? An instrument, on fire. This is an attack on music! Shameful!

Sometimes I get concerned for him.

Excellent for fixing sticky keys as well!

musician life hack

if you run out of rosin just rub butter all over your instrument. just rub a big tub of butter on your instrument, even if its a wind instrument. just rub it all over your practice room. your concertos. even you

Wowie! What an experience! Did you know that 1812 overture was written as a celebration? Napoleon brought his armies over to Russia, but the Russians managed to fight off his huge army! Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky got the idea to use real life cannons from that! How do I know all of this? I was actually there when it happened! I was a member of the Russian army fighting off Napoleon, and what a battle it was! The excitement in 1812 is a great way to feel the excitement of fighting for your life, just as I was, but this is much safer!

Have y’all really listened to the 1812 overture its wild like it starts out all sad, then theres a sneaky bit of the main theme (The part everyone knows)

Then there’s fucking tambourines

then its like a movie soundtrack of a sneaky chase in venice

the BOOM CYMBALS BOOM BOOM SCARY BOOM like chase is going bad oh fuck he gort caught

D R A M A T I C 

The horns getting quieter and then 

its all pretty, like there’s a fucking triangle and the violins are all sweet, like i expect ballerinas to dance over a corpse 

then fucking finger cymbalsmake an appearance?

Oh shit, the horns return ITS GETTING INTENSE

CANNONS CANNONS 

OH FUCK IT’S CANNONS 

oh, its winding down

FUCKING ORGAN CHURCH BELLS WHAT THE FUCK GET READY FOR JESUS TO DESCEND BITCH OH SHIT TRUMPETS BLASTING HERE IT COMES

BAH DUH DUH BAH BAH BAH THE ORCHESTRA IS GOING WILD OH SHIT TURN UP CANNON MORE CANNONS LIKE BITCH YAS CHURCH BELLS GOING FUCKING WILD 

And it’s done.

Pls,,,,,, I need to jazz,,,, this is a man who claps between movements,,,, despicable

Musician followers, THIS IS IMPORTANT and it DIRECTLY AFFECTS YOU. I am linking a petition to fight defunding of the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. If the NEA were defunded as Trump suggested, student musicians, professional musicians, and even audiences of the arts would suffer from the massive elimination of grants. This is huge. If you’re a supporter of arts funding in public schools, this is your chance to make a difference. This is happening now and it is important. Please sign the petition to support grants for orchestra, jazz, opera, chamber music, etc. both in the professional and student world!!

Why do you have raisins in your instrument case? I suppose they would make a good snack...

A moment of silence for the cracked Rosin that is crumbling at the bottom of our instrument cases

): who wants to be my friend?

band tropes

flute/piccolo: stone cold bitch. will kill a man for a solo.

clarinet: absolute nerds. chill 99% of the time.

french horn: Yikes. they’re either a mess or hella salty. or both.

trumpet: there’s like ten million of them. and they all think they’re the best in the band.

alto/tenor sax: they don’t have any friends, but they’re pretty nice.

bari sax: dedicated. very strong willed.

trombone: still laughs at shitty 2009 memes. wears velcro shoes. Avoid At All Costs.

baritone: they don’t practice, and yet? they don’t mess up. except for “wait, is this A flat or sharp? first valve or second? what?”

tuba: they are not kind. usually annoyed with the rest of the band.

percussion: half of them don’t give a fuck, the other half give a fuck AGGRESSIVELY

Ugh. I get that all the time. This is a saxophone, not a violin!

It’s NOT a Clarinet

Someone really said this to me today.

“What’s wrong with your clarinet?”

I’m sorry… WHAT!? 

1. It is not a clarinet. It is an OBOE! Say it with me O-B-O-E.

2. It’s not broken. There is nothing wrong with my instrument.

3. Educate Yourself.
