Adult vs Kid (Beginner) Music Students

As a teenage beginner (15 but I started just before I turned 14) I am so much like the adult one, it's annoying since I'm in an ensemble with 8-15 year olds who are way better than me and they literally just chat and play around while I'm trying so hard and still failing xD

Yup. I had a guitar student who at one stage came in and read a book.

I am still a kid but after 3 months i can play paganini

im that type without violin who is practiced

I’m learning the piano in late middle age….this seems accurate 😂🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂

你們忘了半途而廢的人

this is me with beginner guitar vs flute xD as i kid i used all my flute powers to play meme songs while with guitar which i started recently as a teen im so intent on learning it correctly and getting all the techniques cause i wish i did that initially on flute.

I forgot my clarinet one day at home and my mom had to drive to catch the school bus to give it to me. Mom's are the best but memories aren't

This is the greatest way to tell if my teenage self is an adult deep down.

Yeah stays like this, until the kid becomes a prodigy in that smame second

Relax

I'm a teenager so I have the intention of the adult and the execution of the child

Violince 😭🖐

😂😂😂😂😂😂

What is stupider?

the part where brett forgot his book was accurate lol
but you cant really forget a piano at home tho

so accurate, I guess for all instruments, but especially string instruments. I've begun learning the cello as an adult and I couldn't be more excited for learning cello ☺️ I can't learn new stuff on my cello soon enough.

the guitar part is still accurate

I love how Brett’s “not trying” on the Seitz still sounds better than when I actually try… this is why I’ll be sticking to piano…

😂😂😂😢😮

Even when its an old video,.. its true. Im 43 and have gone for lessons..( 2 so far ) . The over thinking and being tight.. so on point. 😅

Yes I need Sibelius violin concerto for my beginner learning!

I have forgotten to bring my book to a lesson before

This is too real! Oh my god! I'm the adult!

I am the person who wanted to play double bass but the instrument was too big so I went for Violin.
I have had no regrets about Violin since I started 7 years ago and I am thinking about picking up fretless bass in addition to Violin and Viola to cover the whole eq spectrum.

as an adult beginner (/technically relearner), i recognise way too much of myself. the pile of books and the practice journal are spot on 💀

i didn’t start to practice violin until age 12 (i started violin at age 7)

See I started now and I'm kinda between the two.. I am more of an adult though because I wanted to do this

Wait, you have to practice AND study for violin?!?!

Me: hiding allll the books I bought before I even had my first lesson

Sometimes, the reality is hard...

What about those of us who have decided to learn the violin the same time you had your child start to learn the violin with you? 🤣 You're experiencing BOTH of these scenarios at the same time😭😭

im the guy who procrastinates practicing until the 10 minutes before class and somehow makes a lot of progress in piano class

too relatable

“curved like a square” -eddy

This is basically the difference between someone who's willing to learn, and someone who's obligated.

The fact that Brett is older just makes this even better

I used to be the kid - thank goodness I'm not anymore

And there is another phase where you aren’t a kid anymore but you aren’t a complete adult either

After I had the lesson, I am the adult... but when I put a feet into my house, I am the kid 😂

As a type A 39-year old who just started one year ago, I can affirm the accuracy of this portrayal. 🤣👏👏😁

My wife is a violin/viola teacher and she had trouble teaching adults at first - trying to explain things in an adult way. But the adults wanted to learn the bunny rabbit bow hold, and have the same games and stickers as kids.
