Never catch a musician in a bad mood… this is what they’ll do to you.

When musicians are feeling like they’ve got a bit of anger and resentment inside, there’s always one outlet they can rely on... our old friend Twitter.

Here are the sassiest classical music-themed shut-downs on the Internet.

The sickest burn for any musician

A young child says to his mother, "Mum, when I grow up I'd like to be a musician." She replies, "Well honey, you know you can't do both."

I mean, fair.

How do you know if someone has perfect pitch?

Don't worry, they'll tell you.

Middle parts, we’re alto-gether in this difficult life.

Soprano: Want to hear a joke?

Alto: Okay.

Soprano: Melody.

Alto: I don’t get it.

Soprano: I know, you never do.

A universal truth

If there is one thing the Virtual Choir has taught me it is that regardless of race, creed, color, gender, or voice type, singers all over the world love to procrastinate.

Extra points for being a smarty-pants.

I'm so sick of people thinking they can just waltz into my room when I'm clearly listening to music in 4/4.

Leave poor Jane in peace

Can’t tell if my neighbour is drilling through a wall or taken up playing the tuba. Whatever it is Jane love please cease and desist

True, true, true and... yep, also true.

Choir Director: Ok, stop. What happened there?
Sopranos: It was the Altos.
Altos: It was us.
Tenors: There was a wrong note?
Basses: What page are we on?

This is bold.

“As much as we like musical theatre, could you please stop”

Who are all these musician-hating neighbours??

It's 7pm, I have 24 final papers to grade before tomorrow when my lovely partner arrives so we can finally begin married life in the same country, and the neighbours' kid has chosen tonight to start learning the trombone. Outside.

This may or may not be a very large generalisation.

All classical music sounds like the score to a mouse traversing a variety of terrain
