Learning to play and instrument…

hondacello:

phase 1: long periods of being frustrated when you can’t play difficult music

phase 2: feeling terrible about yourself and feeling like you haven’t improved at all

phase 3: knowing that you suck but keep practicing anyway

phase 4: finally start getting better and have a long burst of motivation

phase 5: then having those few short instances where you sound absolutely beautiful 

then the process starts all over again….

Ah, my current life in piano lessons.

    I sped through phases 1-3 on sousaphone. I have yet to really make progress on trombone. Haven’t played in 3 days.
