Fluteless Life

Jan 19, 2007 21:46

I'm completely unmotivated in the world of flute at the moment.  My teacher doesn't help any.  I never know when I'm having a lesson and when I'm not.  When I do have a lesson, nothing is ever accomplished.

Sure, I may be only 15 and I may be a great flautist for my age, but when is everyone going to realize that we can't always focus on the present?

What about the future?

What about when I start auditioning for flute studios and the possibility of arts schools?  What then?  Will I still be just as amazing, or will I suddenly change because the people who are listening actually know what they're talking about?

If you don't know what you're talking about, shut up.  You're not helping any by masking what could possibly be the truth.

I can't see myself as a great flautist when I'm older.  That scares me.  I'm not so sure I love flute as much as I claim to.  The "I like flute" phrase may have some irony that most of you aren't clever enough to figure out unless I spell it out for you.

Now music, no one can ever take that away from me.  Music is the air.  It's essential to life.  Not necessarily your life, but mine wouldn't go very far at all without it.

Not so sure that I'll ever be a great soloist, because that's not the music I love.  Not flute.  Piano possibly, but there's not many options with that.  Unfortunatly, colleges require you to at least try to be a great soloist if you go into any kind of music.  Or so it seems?

I need musicians in my life RIGHT NOW.  Ones who care.  Ones who know what they're talking about.  Not powder.  No coverups.  REAL music lovers.  Nothing else.  I need them.  I'm going insane.

Just ask anyone
