sheeesh they are releasing alot but her past really is sad

 

[Mangamoz]

Noooo!!

 

[Potatoo]

The fact that this can be so relatable even if I don't play any instrument hurts me too much

 

[jonnywarlock]

She didn't even have the energy to rip down the encouragement signs on her wall...

'I can't doing anything...' -> 'I can't do anything'

Thanks, didn't spot this.

I knew I was gonna miss something at some point.

Updated.

I used to play the piano as a kid. I stopped because I knew I was no good and didn't really enjoy it as much, but for her who loved it and poured her heart and soul into it... this is absolutely soul-crushing.

She followed her dreams and sometimes, doing your best just isn't good enough. A harsh reality check for her that's too realistic even for me. Ouch...

Playing the piano is the one thing that self study won't get you far.

Where was mom during this whole fiasco?

It's a parents job to provide guidance & support.
If your child loves the piano, sign her up for music lessons!
(and if she can afford a $50,000 dollar piano, she can afford lessons)

Or if her piano skills are not that good, steer her to something else, such as writing music for others, or playing accompaniment for the school plays. Don't just let her walk out on stage (without any support) and fail.

As a pianist, I agree with you on the whole, but I don't think the implication is that she's bad. I think it just implies that everything around her has fallen apart and she put so much pressure on herself to do well, that she cracked when it came time to perform. The divorce really sucked the light out of her music and caused it to lose what made it special, which led to the judge saying, "Do you even know what you're playing?"

I can almost guarantee she would not be able to afford a grand or even baby grand piano on a part-time job salary (I'm attempting to do the same thing with a full-time job). Imo, that's the mom showing her support in her own way.

Music is art. And art is not just about skill, but also the artist themselves. She’s not bad, but her environment and emotion is what makes her music a failure. Just like writing, your emotion is what will dictate your work. You can feel depressed, but the different between a successful writer and an unsuccessful one is how you utilize that depression. She is young and inexperienced, so she doesn’t know how to use that emotion and turns it into music.

Sucks that this can happen with not just music but any passion. Shit now I'm upset
