What people think practicing the violin sounds like…

[mimilebt]

Practicing an imstrument is like 1/2 practicing scales and the other half just starting over and over again failing on the same part on the sheet music until rage quitting

[thatotherguy]

My cello teacher one said, “if you sound good while you’re practicing, then you’re not practicing the right thing”

[DarrenStevensohnOfficial]

What other think : Playing a full 30 minutes Tchaikowsky Concerto.

Reality :
1. Tuning for 10 minutes
2. Doing scales for 5 minuts
3. Realize cant play in tune
4. Give up

[bigdirtysanta]

There’s an occasional “FUCK” when we just can’t get it right

[StarmoongalASMR]

So true! I feel bad for my neighbors that have to hear me play the same thing 10 million times in order to learn it 😂

[flintywinty]

ah yes obsessively tuning as if that’s gonna fix our intonation

[masdyrenee]

My roommate is a music major and she is very good but her practice sounds very bad lol. That is what practice is though🤣 When she is performance ready she sounds so beautiful

[futurecorpse]

for me it’s the sound of me laughing at tiktoks and then gasping when my cello slips forward a little bit and then picking it back up and laughing at more tiktoks

[ilovekaeya]

Oh lord I remember one time I was tuning the strings while I was playing it and it snapped, almost blinding me in the process. I have never been this grateful for having glasses in my entire life lol

[spidella]

“You have 1 hour to practice”
Tuning: it might seem crazy what im bout to say…

[Delulu_For_Bangchan]

Bro it’s true like half the time we are “tuning” and then we mess around or rage at the very minimal errors and very little time is actually practicing

[scxaraa]

for real! when i first started playing and practicing the violin, i was like “im so bad😢” but then as i started progressing i realized thats how you get better lol

[crankyreed]

How I sound when I practice:
*silence cause I don't*

[StrayCatlmao]

When I practice it sounds like absolute chaos with a mixture of my hands getting sweaty and accidentally dropping the bow 🥲

[nunanan]

So true😭 I play the violin and once I finished practicing at 11am. On the next day my neighbors came up to me asking why do I play a trumpet in the middle of the night💀

[im_rlly_tired_]

So true, like I sound like nails on a chalkboard, but in front of an audience I sound more decent and presentable.

[sayuka__]

Me practicing*
My neighbours: IS THAT A HORSE?

[janalax]

I was practicing a song assigned from band and I started playing the national anthem for fun

[nadia]
