On Top

I feel like I'm on top when it comes to other singers, so not much happening.

Others Joining Choirs, Me Joining the Orchestra

Why can't I seem to learn new things?  Am I in talent menopause?

...Was

Was classical music at a peak in the late 1990s and early 2000s?

"Crazy" People

People today went crazy over jealousy of me and wanting in on classical music and musical theater, and the social scene is unsafe.  They don't seem nice to me, some.

Anyone Want That Seat Over There

Funny, people don't care about classical orchestral instrumental musicians the way the musicians themselves don't care about lead violinists.

Classical Orchestral Instrumental Musicians Since Childhood

Don't tell a classically trained musician you love Beethoven's 9th Symphony, for example, because, I mean, don't expect a favorable reaction ... most normal places they are highly egotistical against people like me who can't play well enough/yet to be in an orchestra.

Re: What are some things you can do therapeutically?

How about play music with others in a classical orchestra rather than just at home whatever you can do?

I'm not heading for the end.

People from Generation X who had kids barged in and knocked the kids out with parents who were in their 30s and 40s at the time and said their kids can do anything and replace me because they, the kids, are from a younger generation.

I think, in classical music, kids think it's something special for them but think it is tacky to be expressive, like it's something new and they get to decide.  It probably happens late at night when people are sleeping and floats around in the day in the subconscious.

You might try comparing kids today to generations between me and them, rather than just older ones like Generation X.

90's/00s' - Still Normal...

So, the 90's/00's theme was classical orchestral musical instrumentalists, as included, still going out and having fun like a teenager but feeling special.

Orchestra

Musicians are healthy musically from the therapy of being in the orchestra.  They probably don't spend much of their practicing alone, like you do growing up playing a classical orchestral instrument.

Unusual Things - Not Better

Traditionally, things like ballet and classical music are well-liked, but if someone does something odd, hard to do, and not really as appealing does not mean those other things go to waste.

Is this some joke?

What about people who cannot sing at all?

Who is better: good singers or instrumentalists?

Sometimes, it happens both ways, but instrumentalists in general tend not to admit the piano is worth shit. Take it from a former piano major at a prestigious institution, yours truly.

In Trouble

What do you think about being in trouble for wanting to play music and being good at ballet because you already did but not really ready to be a professional...? in trouble because people think ballet isn't as good as it seems, like it's worse than other things.

You know, a lot of people who play classical music exceed the talent of ballet but play because they were too wayward or absent-minded to be more of a performer as a person or blend in with others in a good aspect...?

Of course, many people join orchestra in school because they have nothing to do, and I wanted to play for a long time.

Wedding Music

I just got a wedding book for violin.  I watched a video of a boy who knew and knows the girl who wrote it.  It does look very good and clean-cut.  I know almost every song in it.

Mystery of Music

Classical orchestral musicians seem to think poorly of pianists and avoid giving them attention at all costs and averting any and all acknowledgement.

Organists seem to laugh at all other musical instruments.

Too Tired to Learn Something New?

Do people get tired of learning new things as they grow older, take, violin, diving...? but maybe piano for fun is okay?

The Art of the Self

Classical musicians seem most confident they will prevail.
