I FINISHED PIANO AND MY TEACHER SAID SHE WAS PROUD OF ME, AND I AM IMPROVING WELL, AND WAS MIGHTILY IMPRESSED SINCE THIS IS GRADE EIGHT I’M WORKING ON! I was so stunned that I just beamed and soaked in her praise. She even said in amazement: “How is your sight reading so good??” BEST piano lesson ever. Twelve year old me would have been so proud.

#piano lessons #piano #I credit this achievement to falling in love with Donna Tartt #And classics #And classical music as a whole #So I’ve been listening to beyond grade eight piano music and you wouldn’t believe how easy my grade eight pieces seem #Ahhhhhhhh #thing is I disliked and feared my piano teacher for her strictness #My sister dropped out grade 3 #BUT NOW WE HAVE AN AMICABLE RELATIONSHIP #maybe she will write me a reference??? #Pretty please #and AND AND AND she said that I should perform in a festival for her #It sounds scary #But I gotta get my playing in public skills up yk? #And I realised recently that piano is something I want to do for the rest of my life :’)) #Gotta put much effort into it #And grow while I’m still being taught #And then I can play!!! Ahhhhhhhhh #Best ever!!! AHHHHHHHHHH

what's the worst audio i can use for an edit? i was thinking of jerma singing ohh the treachery but i want options

#umg pulled all their songs from tiktok so now ppl are making their usual edits to like wii shop music and classical songs #bc it's endlessly infuriating to spend hours making something in the audiovisual form FOR FUN for NO profit #and have the audio removed for copyright. on a clip that lasts about 30 seconds. of which the music plays under 30 seconds. #and ok yeah tiktok sucks but so does umg #they were like ''we care about our small artists so we're pulling their music away from the app and if we dont get #a better deal we'll pull everything'' and they did. #first of all how is stopping ppl from using songs from smaller artists good for them. do you guys have any idea how many #songs get popular bc of edits or dances or something #i'm no artist but i'd be happy if someone made a trend to a song of mine and it suddenly got popular #but idk i'm no expert on the matter i'm just someone mildly inconvenienced by my hobby getting fucked over #leevi talks #that being said tiktok should still remove their art and sound ai stuff

what if i said kevin day was one thousand million percent a piano kid growing up. what then

#aftg #the short answer for this is that i've been listening to classical music since 6am and i think i've fundamentally gone insane #the long answer is that i know nora was like the ravens only ever did exy #but like that is not a sustainable way to raise children you can't teach discipline with a contact sport #i'm not saying he liked it i'm maybe not even saying he was good at it #but yeah when kevin was like 12 some bitchass old woman who has never felt gods love in her heart made him sit still with his back straight #for hours on end and now he both hates tchaikovsky (correct of him) and also has really good attention to detail (also correct of him) #because learning music is very beneficial for children to like. learn how to make connections or something i dont remember the reasoning #but i swear this is a real thing #there's no way i was forced to play clarinet from the ages of 9 to 15 for the fucking bit. it was for my education or something #anyway i'm having a really normal morning #learned how to make brown sugar shaken espresso and i am abusing that new power to the extent of my ability #edit i did not mean to post this on main but it took too long to write this out i'm not rewriting it. deal with my insanity cowards

there's a certain quality the harmonies of like... early to mid 2000s alt rock has. which i am obsessed with... like i wanna do that. i NEED to figure out how to write harmonies that sound like that

#ari opinion hour #i sort of understand it but not necessarily well enough to do it on command #i think i sort of achieved the sound of it with my blaseball winter exchange song i did for snow but specifically only in the very last bit #like only with the 'im not alive anymore' part #(which sidenote i wish id had the second half faster + w more drive but its not like that was like a full recording which i could do) #i think i just need my music to have more teeth in general cause it scratches an itch that i think i must have developed due to some aspect #of music school. its probably my dissatisfaction with the attitudes in the classical world #<- which understand i say that in the same way that like my jazz prof does. the classical world doesnt have enough teeth nor enough #understanding of the way in which music is like. another art. and art needs to be able to have teeth and use elements normally regarded as #''undesirable'' on purpose because art is there to make you feel emotions and not just the positive ones and not just sadness or anger in #terms of the negative ones #art is there to make u feel ALL extant emotions and that includes boredom disgust fear jealousy pity cowardice apathy overwhelmedness etc #also the classical world i find often forgets what the word ''play'' means #i am of the opinion that perfection is a waste of time if i wanted perfect i'd ask a computer to do it for me. i want real #anyway. i forgot what this post was even about lol point is i need to figure out how to write harmonies that have that soaring quality that #like. you can hear it in like helena by mcr and wake me up by evanescence and stuff. and frankly most of the songs on three cheers for swee #revenge which i am listening to now for the first time. i need to learn more about this stuff maybe ill listen to the evanescence album tha #song is from next. #or something i should really be working on my essay but theres no way i wont have it done in time which is good i think i just mostly have #to worry about sources and stuff but even that should be relatively easy i think

yes Hell Yes full "archie's all-american" in riverdale clip

#the epic highs of silently clapping & laughing when everyone whips off their shirt & lows of [when the song cuts off it doesn't resume :( ] #thanks riverdale for that classic (epic highs & lows triumphs & defeats of high school football) #joe iconis #enough sampled you can tell it bops along #archie vaguely looks like an amalgam of all the other guys (with fire in their eyes they know the way their whole lives will play out) #i had Just been watching a video where someone was explaining [musical theatre creation songwriting process] to the camera #so the start of this threw me for a loop like. behind the scenes?? #Youtube #oh lol the first time i saw this it was like fr is the other guy julian supposed to be also archie in this broader way #then via the media analysis of how movement is choreographed and the understudy line i see it's like ''yes and i'm mad abt that'' #tfw you have an archienemesis....def get the vibe either julian's been the cool chill buddy all along or the arch nemesis for half the show #i also appreciate how overall i'd say my idea of riverdale is laughing & having a great time being yourself #but then i remember the wisps of the Drama like the murderer gene & the idfk organ harvesting cult & archie drafted to the trenches #although really maybe all that was also always abt laughing living loving have fun be yourself. i mean godspeed to whatever

this interaction is killing me. thank you len for bringing up bad memories and making toya sad for no fucking reason like literally this was so unprompted. we love an insensitive 12 year old

#SBFKJDFJSKFKDJFKJKDHFKJSKFDJGKDJGKDJGKFBGLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #oh yeah! i remember that one! :D #though it does kinda play into the idea i've had that like. SEKAI is built on emotions so sometimes like #the virtual singers will reflect the bad ones too. it's more likely to come from miku rin and len since they're all the youngest but like #going into your SEKAI while you feel like shit Can be counterproductive. most of the time you'll receive comfort but sometimes . #the virtual singers will (unintentionally) play off of your bad feelings and digging deeper into the wounds instead of soothing them #like len reminding toya of the time he and akito almost fell out of each other's lives and he almost went back to classical music #for NO REASON #or like. a hypothetical scenario for you: #mizuki: *in the empty sekai talking about their plans to organize a hangout with the rest of n25* #rin: why are you bothering when you're so sure they'll hate you someday. wouldn't it be less painful to cut all your ties now. #mizuki: H #and in my akitoya fic that's what miku did with akito for like 2 seconds #LIKE IT'S NOT A MALICIOUS THING they're just kind of echoing the emotions and thoughts they sense from the kids #because they Know it needs to be addressed but they don't know how to do it like. delicately. #it's why in most of the SEKAIs one of the Older virtual singers is present #as funny as miku therapy is she's still 16. she doesn't know what the hell she's doing. #left to their own devices she and rin and len would make everything 18385948595845958x worse 👍🏾

a real phone call i made to my dad last night: hi i’m home now but i wanted to talk to you but you’re not home but i wanted to talk to you bc while i was driving i was spirited away by the fairies a now i’m not sure if this is the real you or if you’re the fake fairy duplicate you and i think if it was fairy you i wouldn’t be able to tell bc you could lie to me over the phone

#in case ur curious yes i am like this irl #part 2 #for context #i had spent literally all day shopping and was so fucking exhausted #and on the way back the classical music station was playing something that 1000% sounded like i was being spirited away #so i changed the station #but when i was turning onto my house’s street i was flipping through stations and the classical station came back on #and it was playing something that was very. and now the fairies have returned you #but then i could not get the garage open and i started joking that we were at the wrong house #and it still wouldn’t open so we were like WERE AT THE WRONG HOUSE #THIS IS OUR HOUSE THO??? i’ve seen it before. this is our house #(we as in me and my brother btw) #anyway so i wasn’t convinced that this was my real home and not a fairy duplicate and i wanted to check with my dad BUT HE WASNT HOME #did not know how long he would be gone so i called him bc it was urgent (obviously) #but like? a fairy duplicate of my dad could easily lie over the phone??? #anyway my dad took half a beat and was like ‘okay just wait a couple minutes’ #he had literally just pulled up outside #anyway. #@anyone with a psych degree: any guesses abt what’s wrong w me?

The last scene of Chevalier always reminds me of the experience of being at the symphony when Kelela performed in Baltimore with the orchestra – which is something I will hold dear in my heart till I die. A crowd FULL of Black folk breaking every single "rule" about how to listen to classical music (with a couple elderly white symphony regulars sitting down looking bewildered). Everyone dressed to the nines in this ornate historical music hall clapping and shouting and dancing and rushing the stage.

#chevalier #i shed tears #i grew up going to the symphony and playing classical music #there are so many fucking rules about how to sit and conduct yourself and its like a sin if you break it #it is so boring and stupid #for a crowd of people to come into a building they were once NOT ALLOWED into unless they were help and shut shit down in that manner? #ugh #they kept telling everyone to sit down and they refused i LOVE BLACK PEOPLE

#so I have officially been to a club/bar now #tag talk #it was a country bar which was actually cool cause they played like. actual old country none of the post-9/11 shit #except everything else about it was ugh awful. music too loud drinks FUCKING EXPENSIVE holy shit stay home and drink instead pleaseeee #it was a work thing but none of my coworkers I'm friends with actually knew what they were doing so while I wasn't actual awkward they were #and the thing about social interaction is that if no one knows what they're doing it's not very fun #I grabbed someone and started a pool game because the table was open and both of us were absolute garbage at the game #but I was laughing about it and they were like... apologetic about being bad?? d #I did have the classic experience though where your friends disappear and you end up alone because you don't know where they went #all in all an interesting experience but not one I'm eager to repeat. #I did get invited to someone's Christmas Eve Party though which is cool and they gave me their number to make sure I have the info #so probably worth going just for that I think. got their phone number so we can communicate so that's like. successful social connection. #we're already friendly at work but easier to talk to someone when you're both not busy on the opposite side of the store with customers #anyway. who tf out going to clubs. awful environment. #I was like.. twenty percent of the way to being comfortable going out and dancing but hard to just swallow your hesitation #and a) alcohol as liquid courage is hmm not ideal and b) it was expensive anyway #oh well. it'll take more time to come out of my shell and I'd literally never been to a bar/club before in my life. #so I'll have some patience with myself and not be annoyed with how I could have done better or been more confident. #literally totally new environment. also... country music was nice but not a group of people I could really be comfortable around yaknow? #Lotta old white straight couples dancing the country two-step so I didn't really feel like I fit in. #anyway. interesting experience. neat to have. if I ever have a reason to go to a bar again I'll know more about what to expect #also... no one carded me. no one asked for ID? aren't they supposed to #oh wait. comment about the yodeling cause it was actual old country but they didn't do the voice register changes for it #I was like WAIT ARE THEY GONNA YODEL FOR REAL??? but then he didn't he just jumped intervals without shifting voice. #was a little disappointing but maybe a lot to expect from a random stage show at a bar. #wait wait I'm also proud of myself because the bartender asked open or closed and my mind scrambled for half a second to figure it out #but then I realized it meant open tab or closed tab like ordering more drinks and then paying at the end and so obviously closed #cause I ain't buying more than the one drink holy fuck it was so expensive also they mix them way stronger than I like #I like my drink weak ass and pathetic. alcohol is like spice I like a little to taste but not a lot. complimentary not overpowering #I drank it and then remembered I never ate lunch so I was like fuck and immediately went and ate something (work party so free food)

tfw you left your family to pursue your music career in the big city™ only to get roasted by professors on your entrance exam and not get into university because you don't have enough experience and knowledge for your age

now you have nowhere to go and life is shit

#delete later #honestly not sure on how music education system worked in Germany at rhag time #but from my experience #it is incredibly hard to perform classical music professionally if you didn't start your education at young age #if you don't start playing violins at 6/7 you probably wont be able to have them as your main instrument on university #or become a tutti musician #if you are not a Prodigy #but talent isn't the only thing #because if you don't know music theory you won't get far #and music theory on university level is 👹👹👹 #no i am not projecting my failed music career on rip/s #tbh i often regret leaving music highschool #but classical music industry was not made for really anxious girls lol #plus the whole change of environment and teachers and shit #and having to ro all that as extra work next to normal highschool 😁🔫 #two hours of violin snd one of piano a week #and 4 hours of music theory / history #and orchestra #and live note reading #classical music industry is something i hold closely to my heart #but i also don't because it left me lowkey traumatised #but nothing beats the pure awkwardness of having to perform in front of 5 elders who don't wsnt to be there and have this dissapointed look #while tje room is too hot anf you're sweating and can feel your legs shaking #and of children choirs and singing performances #making rip play violins would be fun because its smth i have 8 years of experience with #but i feel like piano would fit her more #obviously her main focus is singing but you must have at least one instrument #rip van winkle

Literally this is one of my favorite pieces of all time and seeing the joy of someone hearing it for the first time, ohhh my heart

#me communally listening to classical music with this random guy I know nothing about #also like yes this piece is played a lot but christ it's so beautiful how can you even mind? #bern speaks #Youtube

[itstimeforstarwars]

My department has a secret radio that we borrow from the night crew so we don't have to listen to ed sheeran and sia all day but the downside is that because it's a radio we do have to hear the commercials and the commercials on the classic rock station somebody keeps putting on are downright insufferable.

#chit chat #'does this generation even know what 'around the clock' means?' idk brenda maybe we should ask them #maybe we should ask the most overworked generation since before world war 2 if they know what 'around the clock' means #i hate that commerical and i hate the radio hosts soooo much #oooh im on a classic rock station i gotta let the listeners know that millenials are stupid and the devil #despite the fact that millenials r like. 30. like they're not the teenagers you seem to think they are. #and teenagers aren't stupid and the devil you’re just not trying to communicate with them #like today's radio show was all about how one host's kid is in a philosophy class and so is asking questions about the purpose of life #and stuff like that #and it's just half a fucking hour of the host just mocking their kid and the school and like??? #go fuck yourself??? #i like thursdays because then i get to listen to my own music on my phone #because otherwise the more senior members of the department play country or this shitty station

[pleasedonttellmymom]

dude i can’t remember the last time i ever was excited to have another rehearsal 😳 like wow i actually like being here? who knew pit orchestra would be my bread and butter? truly a miracle folks. hell yeah im doing more shows after this. im actually thriving for the first time this school year asdfghjkl

#tbf brightstar is bluegrass and im a rarity in that im a classical violinist that also plays fiddle #so this is a show where you kinda need someone who can read music and also play in the style #so idk how id feel about other shows bc ive only played in fiddler on the roof and carousel #and fiddler was more klezmer #and for carousel i played viola so both the fact that the show is mid and id never read alto clef in my life #it leaves a sour taste in my mouth when i remember #but regardless i like the high risk on the fly environment of pit orchestra #i feel way more engaged than i do in university orchestra #and im getting paid which definitely helps a lot lmao
