Notes From An Accidental Band Geek
““Leave me alone!” I called from the bed. My dad never checked on me.
A major problem came with my self-imposed exile: I had nowhere to practice. I couldn’t leave, which was my original plan, because to leave I’d have to get dropped off somewhere. And it was a Monday night, which meant no symphony gigs for my dad. But now more than ever, I needed to practice for the audition and prep for my lesson.
Tormented by my own stupidity, I set up my music stand and put my horn together. I blew wa...rm air through it while I considered my options. I had to play; I had no choice. But I didn’t want to give my dad the satisfaction of hearing me run through the pieces after my dinner table explosion. I stared at the “Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life” quote that I’d plastered across the top of my mirror. My soul was definitely dusty.
I needed to play.
But how?
Then it occurred to me: my practice mute!MoreLess
