Cello hair problems

Didn’t practise for the whole summer and now you have major life regrets? Same.

1. When your instrument keeps holding you back from your full potential

 

2. When you forget that not practising for a month means losing like, a year of string skills

3. When you’d give anything to be a virtuoso, but cba to put in the hours

4. When you eventually give in to practising two hours a day, and your body decides to fight back

7. When the violins get all the attention and it’s not fair

 

8. But when you’d give anything, just for one day (without telling them you want to be like them) to play treble clef with them

 

9. When winter is your cold, heartless enemy

 

10. The fact that at some point in your career, someone will compare your sound to a screeching cat and think it’s ok

 

11. When non-string players don’t get why rosin is so important, but you know that when it breaks, your sound is terrible and your life is over

 

RIP to my rosin that I managed to smash all over the floor this morning #violin #sadness #violinproblems

12. When your love life is off the chain

14. When people’s general intolerance gives you great DIY skills

 

15. When frustration didn’t make sense to you until you first had to borrow someone else’s shoulder rest

 

16. When your instrument never lets you be the glamorous princess you deserve to be

 

Every time I play my cello, this happens  #celloproblems #cello #longhairproblems
