I thought I was a great pianist before I started the con and now I don’t even know what to think. Everyone is so good and I feel like the worst performer in existence. I kinda wish I chose composing because THAT I can do. It’s been 4 weeks and I’m already questioning why the hell they accepted me in the first place. So I asked TH-cam why I was even accepted into the con and this was the first video to pop up. Thank you two set. You guys are great. I laughed and almost forgot how terrible I felt.

      Part of the thing is when you go to university you are with a bunch of other people who have talent or potential in the same area - if you went to a normal school (i.e. not a specific sports or music or posh one) you were probably a 'big fish' in a relatively small 'pond', and now you're a 'small fish'. But try and see it as an opportunity to learn from others and maybe have some friendly competition.

    Me: ...I was in orchestra for five years...I only have a functional understanding of sheet music...
    Vocal teacher: Sight sing this piece!
    Me: ...I don't know how to sight read...OTL
    Vocal teacher: You don't know how to do breath support? Lemme just teach you how to stand against the wall and push your stomach out against my hand. If you don't figure out how to do breath support, it means you just don't care about learning. Oh, but it can take years to fully figure it out.

      Me in January:
      Me: Oh boy! I can't wait to learn music theory! Finally everything will make sense!
      Theory teacher: We're gonna go over the first 5 notes of a C major scale for three weeks and then I'm gonna keep testing you over everything you don't know until you magically learn it instead of just teaching it to you. Then we're gonna do first and second species counterpoint, and then I'm gonna teach you about intervals, and then we're gonna do part writing and figured bass, and oh by the way your final is a composition that you have a week to write and you have to prove to me that you understand music.
      Me: please no...
      Aural Theory Teacher: I'm the head of the music department and I'm gonna teach you at lightning speed because that's the kind of person I am. [Side note: She doesn't just have a standing desk, she has a standing desk on a treadmill.] I know some of you can't even read sheet music yet, but we're gonna start testing you on dictation and sight-singing! And keep testing you on dictation and sight-singing! And maybe just barely teach you how to hear some intervals, but definitely not how to identify notes by ear, because we're just too busy doing dictation and sight singing!
      Me: Is there anything I can do to get better at this?
      Teacher: No!
      Piano teacher: yeah just do this thing online and then towards the end of the semester I'll have you do some other stuff for me (that will be harder for you because you don't know all your scales by memory)
      Me: Well...that doesn't sound too bad...
      Online Thing: You're gonna play 30 measures of just C at 40 BPM, and then halfway through the semester you're gonna jump to playing full fast pieces even though you've only been playing C up until this point
      Me: Ok, at least vocal stuff shouldn't be too bad. I've got some hard ones, but I've also got a bunch of songs I know really well.
      Vocal teacher: For your final I want you to sing the Latin piece that you got two weeks ago and have only just now memorized through hours yelling in the practice rooms, and the German piece that you overlooked because it was really stupid hard and you only memorized the notes!
      Me: You're sure? Not the classic rock? not the broadway? not the Italian? not the Japanese? Those two?
      Teacher: Yes
      Me: Mumbles the right notes in nonsense German and somehow still gets an A for the class
      And that's just the music classes, lol

      While it sounds terrifying and I totally feel you... I wonder how you even got into music university? Where I am from (germany) to get into musich university you have to be able to write down simple rhythms and melodies they play to you. To be accepted as a compositions major you have to play the piano and an orchestra instrument (I guess one of them can be at a basic level) and you definitely are tested in your sheet reading ability.
      What do your entrance exams look like, I really wonder! Unfortunately I never applied for music university, although I had years of training in all that theory and dictation stuff. But I am a terrible performer. I can play in combos or orchestra, but me in front of a commitee - I even start doubting my tuning abilities 😔.

    My life as a music major. First off, I was a varsity athlete and music teachers universally hate sports and athletes. I had a piano teacher tell me in order to get an 'A 'for his half credit course, I would have to practice 4 hours a day. I told him that would be like studying 8 hours a day for my full credit Chemistry or Biology classes. Taking 4 credits a semester that would mean 32 hours of studying a day. I learned in calculus that there was only 24 hours in a day. I also had a few hours of varsity practice a day and games and travel etc. Then the music department started requiring music students to attend dozens of recitals of other students. Some school reporter asked me what I thought of the new rule and I told him I do not want to get in trouble. So he said it is off the record. I told him it was total bullshit and I would not expect anyone to be forced to listen to me play piano because I am not exactly Beethoven and nobody else here is either. Wow that got printed with my name. Even the music teachers who did not even know me hated me - and athletes and sports. I was popular with the other students though.
