    I'm a singer, not a violinist, but I can relate to like 80% of this. I'm kind of this routine:
    1. Procrastinate
    2. Decide to practice
    3. Warm up
    4. Scales
    5. Space out while practicing breath support
    6. Keeps changing pieces
    7. Self critical
    8. Depressed.
    9. Recording myself (sometimes)
    10. Even more depressed
    11. Quit for like 2 days

    • @RhythmAddictedState
      @RhythmAddictedState 8 місяців тому +4

      I'm also a singer and I go through these exact stages too, minus the scales. Just add "interpreter" and "thinker" to the mix. And sometimes I sing for days on end but then stop for like a week and feel depressed about having to train to regain control over my voice again lol

      As a singer and pianist this one's mine 💀💀💀
      1. Ohhhh right I should probably practice my timing in the song I'm meant to sing at a rehearsal lol
      2. Boots up pc
      3. Spends 30 minutes watching old videos from when I was a kid
      4. Ohhh right the practice
      5. Practices timing for like 10 minutes
      6. Oh lmao shouldn't I warm up
      7. Decides not to warm up
      8. Random ahh concert of old songs
      9. Hmm let me practice the whole song
      10. Practices for another 10 minutes
      11. Hm I should go practice my piano
      12. Plays one excercise and gets mad when I suck balls
      13. Plays pieces I know to build confidence
      14. Tries again
      15. Still sucks balls
      16. Anger and mental breakdown but then gaslights myself into thinking I'm a calm pianist practicing
      17. 2 minutes later: it doesn't work
      18. Goes through pieces I know again
      19. Practices identifying notes
      20. Ohhh right that music app I have
      21. Practices intervals for like 30 minutes
      22. Ugh I'm tired imma listen to storm by Vivaldi

    My late x husband was an American concert flutist. He was type 2 on your list but he did schedule in a life. His friend Sam was an English concert flutist of the type 3 on your list. Sam sauntered into competitions and auditions wearing sandals, Bermuda shorts and Hawaiian print shirts, and he always won. The judges always made Sam play much longer than everyone else. My x wasn't always allowed to finish a piece before he was excused. My x was a capable professional but watching him play was no pleasure, it looked painful for him. Sam was a joy to watch, he was clearly in love with what he was doing. One loses oneself in the music.

  • @Chloe-nr2uw
    @Chloe-nr2uw 2 роки тому +10

    I'm listing the ones I actually tend to do a lot when I practice as a piano beginner :
    *5. Practicing fast* (this is actually when I already know the piece,i'm practicing my memory to know what to press on the spot,also agility I guess. but I do practice them slower after that)
    *8. Self critical* (I talk to myself a lot yes😂 Everytime I play the wrong note I would go "oh,wrong note. go back 2-3 measures before")
    *9. Keep changing pieces* (As an impatient person,I would go play the easy piece or the piece I had practiced after attempting to learn the current one. Also the fact that I am a beginner afterall and maybe it's different once you advance.)
    *15. Frustrated* (no explanation)
    *16. The app user* (yeah,I'm still a teen and broke)
    *18. Recording yourself* (okay,I know I said I listed what I tend to do a lot but,I do only do this sometimes. Since I haven't really memorized a lot of pieces. But this is very useful though! So you can hear what your "audience" is hearing. Like the tempo and such)
    *19. Depressed* (this used to me back then! I was a pretty sensitive kid so it stressed me out to get a lot of mistakes,especially as an 8 year old)
    *20. Procastinator* (all. the. time. there's just a lot of interesting things in the world! trying to fit them all in a day is so hard. I only get to practice 1 hour a day most of the time🥲)
    *21. Mental Practicer* (I can't explain. I do this before practicing)
    *22. Multi Tasker* (sometimes)
    *24. Recording Listener* (I think we all relate to this already so I don't have to explain)

      @@BoogleBeats Which device are you using for recording? I‘m just using my phone and my teacher told me I shouldn‘t worry about my sound too much (when listening to the recording) as phones aren‘t made for this type of recordings. The phone isn‘t really able to catch the different dynamics and also isn‘t made for high notes. Actually I knew before that the phone isn‘t the best way of recording something but hearing it from my teacher was kind of calming 😅 So I just pay attention to rythm and timing and don‘t care that much about sound anymore when listening to what I played.
