2 July 2019, 18:28

Being a musician is a daily hardship, and nobody else will ever understand what you go through. We’re here for you.

1. When the page-turner doesn’t show up to the concert

   

   Spending 93 per cent of your life taping sheet music together is not a fun hobby.

2. Playing outside is not ‘special and atmospheric’, it’s ‘cold and impractical’

   Wind is your enemy.

3. None of your friends understand your excellent tastes

   

   You don’t know what you’re missing out on, guys.

4. Hashtags are a problem

   

5. And no one ever gets your hilarious puns

   

   I could write you a Liszt, amirite?

6. Child prodigies give you anxiety

   They’re everywhere, being incredibly talented with their teeny, tiny hands.

7. The fear you might never find a date who gets your music taste

   

   Biber > Bieber.

8. Travelling is never practical

   

9. You can’t remember the name of any of your favourite pieces

   

10. Search engines aren’t kind to you

    So rude.

11. Your neighbours don’t appreciate your talent

    

    Sorry-not-sorry.

12. Your tiny hands will never, ever be big enough

    

    Shame on you, Rach.

13. And no one knows the name of your instrument anyway.

    

    *sigh*
