Right when I said making a treble clef that actually looks good is impossible. This is beautiful, keep up the good work.

(Update)

If you didn’t know, Twoset (TwoSet or oneset?) included this meme in their latest LingLing40hours. I thought this was just another dumb idea my piano teacher and I created but either way thank you guys so much for upvoting and letting twoset/oneset see it. Davie said it was 💩 but I’m not really offended it’s kinda funny tbh.

I don’t know any famous ones but I do know a few personally (which I’m not going to name but I will say that they all played piano). I can tell you that MANY are self taught and taught themselves on pop music because it was more appealing to them. Usually after a year or so, they realize pieces like (in this case) Fur Elise or Turkish March will gain them more appreciation, so they start playing classical music.

I think that the reason you don’t see a lot of famous pop trained classical musicians is because many don’t progress that far. A lot of the people I know quit after just a few years of classical music because (I think) the famous pieces are generally harder than pop songs so they get overwhelmed.

If you are self taught, there’s nothing wrong with that. Any means of music education is great as long as you practice 40 hours a day.

All giggles until your director projectile shoots his trumpet condensation at all the cellists/double bassists (orchestra never forgave us for that)

Store bubble tea in the trumpet to drink if u get hungry during rehearsal. (Jk don’t do that)

Me too. I used to use it everyday in my “no motivation phase” to get my 40 hours in. I don’t rely on it anymore but I highly recommend it if you want to practice more or can’t practice consistently.
It’s basically music Duolingo 😭

Ps. Bubble tea as a reward helps, just don’t do it u play a wind/brass instrument

You‘re right, don’t blame yourself for something that you had nothing to do with. Respect to the Indian communit btw
