how pianists ACTUALLY practice

[jadedragon]

That's how we "practice" when we get really frustrated

[blu]

And the same 4 bar loop for 20 minutes trying to burn it into our muscle memory.

[MrDisaster]

You're forgetting the ocasional "key smash" and "playing a song you know very fast"

[kateb]

How to practice piano.
1. Find a cool new song.
2. Start to slowly play it.
3. Screw up at least 10 times.
4. Get frustrated and spam one key to unload the frustration.
5. Screw up again.
6. Try to play one of the songs you already know to feel better.
7. Screw up again because you're already angry.
8. Fuck it, you'll practice another time.
Repeat until satisfied.

*Hard Spams a single note in frustration, anger, despair, anguish, hopelessness, sadness and 999+ more*

[kikiable]

That "too loud" and "too quiet" hits too close to home.

EVERY. GODDAMN. TIME.

[torimorin]

How I practice a new song usually goes like this:
*Warms up with random excersizes*
*Begins new song*
*Messes up and gets frustrated*
*Decides to play old song that I can play with my eyes closed*
*Screw that song up because I’m already on edge*
*Walks away from piano*

[TellYoutube]

You know they are at the edge of full on rage when a pianist plays a specific section repeatedly slower

[SamReel]

the “i don’t care anymore” is so relatable

[LeviAckerman-ivvo]

First Piece: Chopin Op10 no.4 Torrent

Second piece: Franz Liszt Liebestraum (Love Dream.)

[Musician_]

This is literally me every day. ‘The c is too quiet or the grace note was too loud’ lol always something. 😂

[bencallister]

Slow sections are infinitely more frustrating to perfect cause every single sound and silence needs to be 100% perfect or I wanna defenestrate myself

[starstuffatsea]

Meanwhile I'm just repeating the same 4 measures like 50 times to get it to click in my head and in my hands better.

[EthanHyland]

Especially as more of a beginning to intermediate player. This is pretty accurate.

[ProjectNoDarkNight]

Trying to get a note that’s too loud to be quiet is the worst feeling, especially on a fast piece like Torrent. At some point I break and start slamming note in frustration.

[sunriseatmidnight]

I’ve been a pianist since I was five and I can confirm this is how we practice 😂

[Begginer_pianist]

I Stay a time trying to do the PRACTICE right, and in the middle, i cry a little
😢

[llovelyso]

The momentary pauses of frustration with the deep sighs.

[fwuffcat]

1st one: me on a good day
2nd one: pissed off because i keep playing a single note wrong

[sugaudacity]

I was waiting for the frustrated key smashes
