slowburningtide-deactivated2012 asked: hey, so at an audition for college, the trumpet professor talked to me about a guy named Don Greene. This guy has studied the psychology behind performing to help people who get nervous (like me). I thought I just might share this to help other people who may get really nervous when performing for people.

I'm not part of it but I want to be, but sadly I only play violin and guitar. We are awesome though.

I just love how extremely ironic those 2 last posts were. They came in one after another. IT WAS SO PERFECT.

banddirectorism: BD: So during winter break, just don’t touch your instrument for a week or so. Take a break. Me: …I’m sorry, what? BD: Yeah. Just put your clarinet aside and…Harry Potter. You like Harry Potter, right? Go re-read the whole series. Me: Seriously? BD: Yes, I am Sirius.

banddirectorism: (Talking about playing French horn) BD: “You have to put your hand in…Hey not that far! No you’re doing it wrong! Get your hand out of there!”

banddirectorism: (While we were sight reading an insane piece of music) Trombonist: So a Navy seal wrote this?! What does he do for fun?!! Band Director: Well, he can only shine his rifle every so often. (Makes hand motions like he’s jacking off)

I hate how people naturally assume that I’m in orchestra just because I’m Asian. One guy (an orch dork) asked me once, “Do people call you an Asian fail because you’re in band?” Seriously, people can be so stereotypical and racist sometimes. But what really annoys me is that they’re always surprised when they learn that I’m first chair flute in the...

urbanxurbanity: Today I found out that for the 7 years I’ve been playing the clarinet, my whole family has been lying to me. For the 4 years that my mother actually showed support for this career I want to take, she only did it to 1) shut me up 2) she was using it as a tool to get me into college, and well my dad? he always hated it, always will. My sisters, the people I thought supported me,...

You are not an official tuba player until you can...

beware-leftfootfirst: Today, while we were sight reading some pieces of music, my pencil fell over & I casually bent over to pick it up. However, I was too lazy to put my tuba down & pick it up again, so I had it in my lap while I did so. Baaaad move. Part of my jacket caught onto the tubing & it slipped out of my hand for a few seconds. When it went down, I felt like I was being...
