I am a Musician. You are a Musician

darlingviolist:

I am a musician. I have to work harder and harder everyday to improve who I am, and to make sure I become what I want to become.
Let me tell you something, sugar. Music isn’t easy. Music is probably one of the hardest careers out there, and before you start telling me about something that’s harder, read the rest of this.
In the music industry, you will never be ‘the best’. There is no way around it. You will never be the best, and you have to accept that. Somewhere, there’s someone with more experience and more time under their belt than you. They will be better.
But.
There will be a point where you will be one of the best. Not ‘the best’, but pretty dang close. YOU will be the person that a young boy or girl looks up to as they force themselves to play their scales over and over until they are in tune because they know that YOU practice your scales. They know that you didn’t give up on what you loved, and they’re looking at you now, hoping that one day they may stand on the same stages as you. Play with the same orchestras as you. Play the same pieces as you.
One day, you’ll be watching an interview of a musician in their late twenties/early thirties, they will be asked a question along the lines of ‘Who do you look up to most?’, then they will smile, look into the camera, and say your name. Why?
Because you are a musician.

Orchestra Conductors

To 1st violins: GET THAT HIGH E IN TONE AND STOP MESSING UP
To 2nd Violins: STOP GETTING LOST AND PLAY LOUDER
To Violas: GOD DAMMIT VIOLAS STAY TOGETHER AND STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME PULL MY EARS OUT
To cellos: That sounds beautiful BUT PLAY BOLDER
To basses: Wait.... we have basses?
