MUSIC-Plateau

The pressure of Playing Music has gotten more Intense Recently, I feel like its turned into who can play scales and read the fastest, not about self expression or getting across the intention of the composer. I feel like every time I pick up a sax, or guitar or even sit at my piano my progress is judged..I don’t know if this is it…Maybe I never was a musician, maybe I loved the band more than the instruments itself..I miss the excitement of playing with the band, i have nothing to develop other than scales -___- but I almost dont want to practice..I’m going through a mid-musician crisis..or maybe a divorce…IDK if any musicians have faced this breaking point before, but i’m going to crumble, since transferring and leaving behind the music program I feel like sometimes I left part of me there, regaurdless everyone else is progressing while im stuck with one half of me in my new musicless school…who am I to call myself a musician im seventeen what have I done to get that title…..I was curious if anyone faced this?


You’ve got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.-Charlie Parker
