Gee thanks for COMPLETELY ERASING all my hard work this afternoon Mom. You really have to learn how to use a computer I’m sick of you not remembering how to do anything when I’ve shown you a million times
Did you save your works?
you're good at making me and other smile today tho, ily, also i remember we had to try out on flute in hs and it was like impossible, u don't realise until u're playing it how hard it is omg, same with trumpet. i could only play sax but it made me bottom lip feel all funny when i played so i probably did it wrong for numerous years lol
My eyes have been feeling kind of funky all week. I should probably actually go see an eye doctor. :I
As a flute player, you are so right! So many other people in band never believed our instructor when he told them it was hard to play and requires as much air as a tuba until they tried it out themselves, and they were flabbergasted lmao.
Hope you feel better soon, Vampnessa.
Yeah, I think it's easy to underestimate just how difficult any instrument is to learn. Even the clarinet, which I'm pretty sure is easier compared to a lot of others, still took months for me to be able to play without constant squeaking.
I just noticed people replied to me omk, mog ilysm and thanks Lady Timpani!
Silver I had to take clarinet two years ago and I was THE WORST at it. I hate that darned instrument lol![]()
The reed especially takes some getting used to. After those first few months, playing it became a lot more enjoyable for me.
Though what bothers me (have to be on topic somehow) is how I've gone multiple years without playing clarinet. Now that I have my new computer, I think I can start saving to buy one of my own, but still... that's a long time without ever playing.
Oof I feel you. I still have my flute but haven't played since I graduated high school four years ago. I think at first it was because band wasn't that enjoyable for me by the time I graduated, and now I just don't have the time.
I've also thought about picking up the oboe because I've been wanting to play it since middle school, but the reed (especially it being a double reed) really intimidates me haha.
I found oboe much easier than clarinet actually! That was the instrument I did best at in school so far. (Since I'm in music education we have to take multiple instruments)
