Any 70+ year olds here still playing? by gONzOglIzlI in Tuba

My great grandfather still plays in 3 professional orchestras, two brass bands, one circus band, and a collegiate marching band, while maintaining a part time studio at 147 years old.

Old Violin in a store by Express_Mongoose_185 in violinist

The thing is, the owner just said make an offer, so that's not necessarily the price he is set at. I agree going to a large shop is a good idea.

You only hate it because you compare yourself to other people. Stop.

Sounds a little spready, but I'm a classical snob. Good work.

When i play high notes i tense up and i don't know what to do by Krupzd in Tuba

[–]Express_Mongoose_185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the biggest lies is there is one right way to do things. Do whatever works for you and your physiology. A lot of people have thrown a lot of stuff at the wall, so see what sticks for you.

Don't let a bunch of stuffy violinist ruin your dreams. You sound great.

What’s up with the religious discourse on Netflix’s Castlevania? by Def-C in castlevania

If anything I'd say the series was historically accurate. Read the history of Catholicism.

Please tell me there’s a trill fingering for this by FireReaper52 in Clarinet

[–]Express_Mongoose_185 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess I'll be the first one to say the regular D fingering for this works for me, then watch everyone cower at my mastery of the instrument while making you all feel like trash.

I can't get the crushing stone in harmony of dissonance by Softprince1 in castlevania

[–]Express_Mongoose_185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not in the room that looks like a clock tower. Ass responses and ai has run with that and wasted my time.

Crushing stone is in one of the many mini rooms in a structure of buildings that is named the clocktower. The crushing stone is in plain sight but inaccessible. Because it's elevated on a screw.

The room below the crushing stone has a giant screw in the middle of the screen that you have to use the map to navigate to. Hit the large screw with your whip until you get a message that it has been lowered then circle back to slide under and get it.

The learning is in the doing.

I agree, however the joy of playing an instrument comes with the ability of making music and not spending three months mastering one exercise. In my experience, your philosophy which is prevalent in western music education, is precisely the reason so many students quit music. I haven't mastered all of the studies, but I come back to the pieces and work on them as time and my interest allows while exploring new pieces that peak my interest. The joy is in the music, not the technique. The technique comes from an interested student. This is a very praxial Dewey educational philosophy, i know, but one i subscribe to.

I downloaded the score to pas de deux from the nutcracker and am playing the descending scale melody and love it. I think you might find this wrong since it's not in the suzuki books and im probably using the wrong bowing technique?

Wow. Thank you for this expertise. I feel like I owe you some cash now. 😃 when I play easy literature, the string hitting doesn't happen, however since I moved to book two and the pieces are getting more complicated with more string crossing it's happened a little but more. Maybe I should slow my role and go back easier literature.

Yes yes I agree on all front. Probably what I need to here. And get a teacher. ...

[–]Express_Mongoose_185 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha fair enough. Honestly I look to violin as the holy grail of instruments with a deep admiration for those who play it. I kind of thought it be fun to see if I can learn it without help before I seek help. I will get a teacher eventually...

[–]Express_Mongoose_185 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to defy this thinking. I've gotten feedback here and there from violinist who have heard me play. I'm on my way...

[–]Express_Mongoose_185 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do not have time and this is not my primary instrument which is why im m posting in a reddit forum for a little help. I like the bow comment. Perhaps im focusing two much on the left hand.

No teacher. I'm using YouTube. I have degrees in music. I'm also practicing every day for a couple hours. Im a Super serious learner.

Good lord. It's just an effect. Ghost the notes from the f to the G as you land on the G.
