#WHAT SHOULD WE CALL CONSERVATORY

Bassoonists

Everyone in 8am theory

When the conductor asks for more trombone

When I’ve played the sight reading excerpt before .

After studio class

When someone peeks in my practice room

When we all get our jury reports back

We hope you did well:

Freshmen telling us about their Interlochen and Tanglewood days

And we’re like

First day in my apartment as a sophomore

What it feels like after a gig

Just 99342037 more of those and I’ll be set for life. 

Trying to find a pianist for a chamber group and they’re taken

Handing in my last English paper

When I play after my teacher demonstrates

When the conductor stops every minute

When we run through the whole piece

When It comes time for teacher evaluations
