lmao and as I was explaining what the repair kit was for, honey asked if I could teach him how to play my flute
and he's like
"so how does it work"
idk you cover some holes, blow in there, play with air pressure and pretty noise comes out eventually
"How to play violin: you scrape until you're not scraping anymore.
possible success indicators include: "that sounded nice", declining probability of abruptly closed doors and "I'm trying to support you here, but""
@shoutcacophony @guerrillarain
omg the son of a friend loved his violine too much but after scraping it for three good years they forced him to stop. they couldn't bear it a single day longer. I felt so sorry because the boy was all along really enthusiastic and maybe some time later he would have stopped scraping.
@aka2 That happened to me as a kid--playing flute irritated my mother so much because it was loud and high-pitched and sometimes just grating on the nerves when you're trying to practice/figure things out. Hearing that kind of feedback as a kid can be tough. I moved to practicing in the garage.
@guerrillarain yes tough disencouragement!
lucky children who experience their ability to create expressive noise. thats so empowering!
and can set a little fire burning :)
