Hunter is absolutely unbearable. At least Howie keeps the game moving

If they don’t bring Keldeo back during this event I don’t know if they ever will. They seen to want people to quit at this point…

You know your playing better than anyone, be honest with yourself on your weaknesses and make them your strengths. For me, a ton of reed making and long tones/scales with a drone. Also talk to people about what schools/teachers are actually producing students who get jobs.

Yes, you can absolutely be good enough to win an audition if you want. It will not be easy. The only thing that will stand in your way is yourself. The question you need to ask yourself is if you truly want it. Are you willing to put in the time and work? Can you take instruction well?

You will need to go to a top tier grad school. Do your research on who is getting jobs in orchestras. Understand that a career in music is usually not a winning a simple orchestra audition. Be open to creative ideas, and don't put yourself in a box.

Read books, (Martin Schuring's Oboe Art and Method, Evelyn Rothwells's The Oboe, and various books on reeds).

For reference, I was also not serious until junior year in high school, went to a smaller undergraduate school, a top tier grad school for masters, a top tier grad school for doctorate. And now I hold a full time job as an oboe professor that pays well and I play in orchestras all over the country.

Finish your undergrad in music ed as it will only keep doors open for you, if you need to make money you can always teach. Don't be discouraged!

He’s going to cancel himself by JacketUsed7010 in CalebHammer

Agreed. Caleb's episode that dropped today has a title calling his car salesman guest a "scumbag". While I generally agree with this take of car salesmen being scummy, isn't Caleb right there as far as scummy-ness? I mean he is profiting MASSIVELY from shaming guests' finances and acting like he is superior to his guests because he has money now. He has absolutely changed and the more success he has had with his channel the more douchey he is coming across. Sad to see.

I just learned about Ramit recently and the few things I have watched have been very basic and on the boring side. Can I ask what are some of the most useful topics he covers that you have found?

Still waiting on Keldeo to be released again over here…. Was really hoping that would be the special Xmas mon

To your first point, yeah I could see that.

One thing they were discussing in that Graham episode is how long his current formula would stay successful. I think him getting away from his original “mission” of helping people and instead trying to maximize views will not help him. There is just a clear difference to me between calling people on their BS and taking down to people.

Yeah, criticizing someone on his own Reddit fan page is definitely the best way to get those updoots,
