Ijust started practicing like half an hour ago, and I was practicing HR 6…so i am playing da octaves, and my mom goes “u have to learn music that other pppl want to hear, so that u can entertain ppl in restaurants and make extra money”
wtf…that pissed me off…then she decided to take a nap so i had to cut my practicng off…
then i am listening to RACH PC 2 in my room, she comes barging in and says:
“when ur sister comes home, turn that shit off cuz u know she doesnt like this crappy music”…
wtf…double pissed off…my piano lesson is in 2 hrs, and i have to call it off cuz there is noone to take me cuz my mom is taking a nap and i dont drive yet…
and everytime i am practicing, she comes bother me to show me a magazine, or scholarships to apply for, or stop practicing altogether cuz she wants to watch tv…
this happen to u too? it pissed me off so much…i cant wait to go the uni and study music there…
i also have non musical parents but they put up with it most of the time although itz obviouz dat they dont like most of the sheeyat dat I play
if I were you I wouldnt try to change there opinions of the music because from what it sounds like that aint gonna work with people that stubborn/ignorant (i know from experience)…how many years till uni?..lol
ill be going to uni on the fall, and i already auditioned, and i am waiting for their respnse…
my dad is actually pretty cool and loves to watch me playing octave etude and the HR 6, but my mom thinks it is random notes without any music in it…u gotta hear what she says when i pratcie chopet 10-1///pisses me off…
im living in a apartment building, so i cannot have acoutic piano at all ,i haff a digital piano. only gud thing is, that i can pracitse 24/7 wiz headphones.
luckily mah parents are both musical. my mom haff played organ when she was child and her brother played piano/organ n ma dad is old bassist. they dun like classical music or jazz wut i iz playing, but dey dun care if i practise wizout headphones.
living in an apartment is abit sheeyat imo. i now remembah mah story when i lived in an apartment. one day i randomly practiced da 88 in da evening around 8.30 pm and it’z actually my daily activity. Anyway, a mofo next door, presumably my tenant, instead of speaking directly with me, complained the noise i made to da manager who’s in charge ov da building and next day there waz a paper slided under my door when i woke up. what happened was that if i saw da paper again next time, i had to pay a $200 fine.
my dad’s a musician, teaches at a conservatory and conducts his own orchestra (and because he’s a musician himself he knows how shitty it is and is warning me everyday about it), but my mom is NOT… she always complains about my noise and how i should do other stuff. typical stuff all of you seem to have dealt with … can be REALLY mean, but it hasn’t gotten me into trouble or anything yet.
