The Cringiest Valentine's Musician Fails Ever

Pro tip: ALWAYS have a wedding rehearsal with the musicians and wedding party. That way you know the musicians know the music, and they know when to come in.

[@elissahunt]

This is great advice, except you would have to pay the musicians for the rehearsal, too, and many people won't do that.

[@Seohaila]

tbh that's not a pro tip, that's common sense.. idk what's wrong with all these people who seem to expect that everything just goes smoothly without putting any effort to make sure 🤪

[@stephenbeck7222]

Elissa Hunt people that won’t pay musicians for a rehearsal also won’t pay for actual professional musicians in the first place.

[@elissahunt]

@@stephenbeck7222 Not in my experience. They pay for the musicians to show up at the event and play. It doesn't matter if it's a wedding, dance, party, whatever. Gig musicians almost never get paid to rehearse, but they are professionals, and they do get paid for the job. Eddy and Brett have talked more than once about their first wedding gig and not knowing how it was supposed to go. Do you honestly think they weren't paid?

[@brassholio]

@@elissahunt Agreed. Musicians don't usually do the wedding rehearsals, but it's nice to have a point of contact to either cue you, or at least an order of procession on paper to reference. I would never do an unpaid rehearsal, that's for sure.

As someone considering a future career as an organist, this terrifies me.

[@dariakwiatkowskowa2039]

It shouldn't! Clearly there is a big need for good organists and your competitors dont seem to be that good ;)

[@secretforreddit]

I was an organist for a church for a while! Even though I was an organ novice (although I'd played piano for years), the congregation was so nice and always complimentary while I was getting the hang of it. It's super fun; I'd highly recommend it!

[@vilgotwesterlundvappling]

I'm in the last year of compulsory school in Sweden (year 9, 15 yo) and I need to select my major for further studies. I have a choice between moving to a larger city (where there is actually a music programme) or staying in my small town and studying science/becoming a doctor. I want to follow my passion of playing classical music but I'm terrified that I'll end up without a job by the end of all of it. most of all I want to be a concert pianist, but organist seems like a safer choice because my father is one and I basically know the church community around my small town and would probably get a decently well paying job there. The safe choice would be staying here and becoming a doctor or a scientist working for the mine (I live in a mining community). I want to follow my passion, but I'm terrified to do so. It will take 7 years for me to become a fully educated organist, as well as moving 3 times. I'm 15 years old and I'm not sure I'm ready to live alone in a city I've been to once when I was like 5, and staying there for 3 years before moving again. I've made bad choices before and I don't want to do it again. The TwoSet community is the best one I know of. I'm genuinely completely unsure of what I want to do with my life and I would highly appreciate an opinion from an outside perspective. So, what do you all think I should do? This won't completely dictate my decision but it would be nice to get some perspective on it. Thanks //Vilgot

[@bassmunk]

Don't worry, it's very simple. Don't be tone deaf, and practice. lol If you make the song almost second nature you won't be able to mess up that badly lol Part of that comes to listening to the songs on your down time like you would the radio so that the feel of the song and song structure are second nature. This is how I helped my singer get used to new songs every time we changed our set list.

[@bassmunk]

@@vilgotwesterlundvappling One thing I can say is don't be terrified of moving to the point you don't do it. People are people everywhere you go. Doesn't matter the country or language. Moving is a big step at the start, but once you've done it you realize it's all about learning the area. You're scared of leaving what you know, but gaining knowledge of a new place doesn't take that long if you make that your focus. Also, travel light. Which shouldn't be too hard since you're still young and probably have almost everything you own in your room lol All of this is from my personal experience having taken a trip to Costa Rica for 6 months at 20yrs old and moving 3 times in the last 6 years on my own. The 1st move was from southern Ontario to Vancouver Island, Canada with everything I owned in my car (travel light ;) but the 2nd one was the more scary one despite being in the same city cuz I had to settle for such a small place. But it worked out. Don't isolate yourself, learn the area, and do the basic things to keep yourself safe until you know you can trust a person. Stay aware, not anxious. Just like music, if you're prepared you'll be fine. I've tried to limit myself in the past for "practical" reasons, but I've since realized that it really wasn't helping me. Expand your comfort zone, you'll be a much better and happier person because of it. However you choose to use this advice always make that last point your goal. Hope this helps :)

Sadly this reminds me of an event in my childhood. My mom played the piano quite well but she was not a professional. Well, somehow this led to a friend of my mothers asking that she would play the wedding march at their wedding. My mom tried very hard to refuse but they were insistent to the point I had to wonder if you could call that a friend, so eventually my mom caved and agreed. A week before the wedding, my mom finds out that she would be playing on an organ in a massive church rather than a piano. She was but a piano hobby player... All things considered, she did relatively well but it led to a major falling out and I have never seen those people again.

[@val_wildling767]

Poor your mom! I found myself in similar situations, but forunately I was strong enough to always turn them down! But, yeah, in my case, they were not "friends" 😕

[@elissahunt]

It's horrible when people basically force someone to do something beyond their skill set, and then blame the person who didn't want to do it in the first place. That "friend" should have apologized to your mom for putting her in that situation. Just as well there was a falling out. No one needs friends like that.

[@sacrilegiousboi978]

I hate when people pressure you into a situation like that or are like “you’ll be fine, it’s no biggie” and you end up embarrassing yourself. One time my teacher did this to me when I was a little kid and forgot my music for a performance and I hadn’t ever played it through from memory. Had so many memory lapses it was a miracle I made it to the end somehow, a very distressing and scary experience. She did a similar thing with another student who was a singer and at the last minute got her to sing an already high piece in a different and higher key. Her voice range meant she was struggling to hit the top notes and she held it together till the end but was in tears afterwards.

[@AlvinTheLAW]

Tbh good riddance to those so called "friends". The best outcome is to fall out, don't have to deal with their future bollocks anymore.

[@josequins9099]

That's ridiculous! The organ is a whole different animal from a piano. Your poor mum.

[@borrrden]

Played the trumpet for years. The first thing I thought was “oh no he probably did the right fingering but didn’t get the buzzing correct and ended up on a lower note and that threw him off so much that he couldn’t recover.” If you’re nervous and make a mistake as obvious as that panic sets in and it’s really hard to find your way back in. Poor guy I bet he was someone’s relative who got roped into doing it.

[@FebbieG]

I don't play trumpet, but I had the thought that maybe he was trying to play more quietly, and that messed him up? Could that be a contributor?

[@richardzhuang5958]

I thought that it sounded like when ive played for too long in one day and my lip muscles were just too sore and tired to play the higher notes, i felt like that may be what happened?

[@fairyqueengee]

Also played for years. It definitely seems like he might know how to play a little but never played this, and definitely was roped in at the last minute. “Oh Dave can play trumpet, right Dave?” So listened to it a couple times, then completely blanked on it in the moment.

[@elissahunt]

Yeah, I felt like he was a relative, too. I don't think he was very experienced, and I'm sure he's never played a wedding before. To be honest, when the camera showed him, I was surprised to see he wasn't a little kid.

[@borrrden]

@@FebbieG it surely could. Whenever someone asked me “can you play this high note with piano dynamic?” I wanted to shoot looks at them. It’s hard enough to come in on a high note correctly without “cracking” as it is but doing it quietly takes a lot of control.

We didn't audition our musicians in person, but they sent us a tape they made, so we knew how well they played. Great group, and they let my husband play with them during the reception (he's a pro). That's right, he sat in with the band during the reception instead of dancing. 😄

There's no need to audition. People have demo's and videos to show potential clients. If gigging musicians had to audition for every job we'd never get any gigs done.

[@elissahunt]

@@brassholio Yeah, with sites like KZbin and Facebook, people should have no problem finding musicians who can play. And communication goes a long way toward making sure you get the music you want.

I’ve played a lot of wedding gigs and only a handful were completely flawless. 90% of the mistakes are thanks to the event coordinators. Most of those people are imbeciles. Always last minute changes and forgetting to mention important details. They’re constantly making other people look bad. Anytime the catering company, musicians, etc gets something wrong it’s because the wedding coordinator is a moron. I’m willing to bet at least one those clips was a last minute song change and the dj or musician didn’t have time to prepare because the event coordinator failed send an email in advance.

Long story short, he kept fumbling and losing his place - I had to stop singing several times just to figure out where he was so I could jump in again. It was a freaking disaster. Fortunately it was just a prelude and people were still mingling so not really paying attention, but it was super embarassing.

So I had to speed up and even skip two lines on the fly so the music would finish with the bride instead of just stopping in the middle or continuing on even though the march was over.

One time I was at a wedding were the exit song more or less sounded like in 6:50. It was funny and very cringy at the same time... The worst part, it was the bride's or groom's mum who was playing🙈. Later, they forgot to place us at a table at the reception so we had to sit with the parents of the happy couple for the whole evening and we barely knew them🤣. They were very nice people though, although someone clearly didn't practice 40 hours a day😉.

I feel like this is what happens when you ask your cousin to play for free knowing they took piano lessons as a kid, but they have NEVER seen a multi-leveled organ with foot pedals in their LIVES, and showed up on the day with nothing but Anxiety. lol

It reminds me of my wedding: we married in a small and beautiful rural chapel, but we had to have the local choir (6 people) sing during the mass, that was one of the conditions. They just asked a really small fee that we decided to double because it felt too little. We only got to meet the head of the choir once before the wedding and only heard him sing. When they started singing during the wedding it was so bad, they were mostly older women with falsetto voices, we were really surprised for the first 10 seconds or so, and then just laughed internally. We still laugh about it when we think of it ! Every other thing was perfect, that helped a lot !

We got back and (extremely late) managed to do the serenade in the reception area as all the staff looked on embarrassed. We were embarrassed to. It was awful.

Hey Twoset, thanks so much for getting me into classical music :) because of you guys I now have a deeper appreciation for not only the sheer beauty of the many pieces that I've gotten to know; but the skill and determination of the amazing composers and musicians that create and perform for people to enjoy. Although I am by no means a musician myself (can barely play anime OPs on keyboard), I'm glad that you guys are helping the classical music community grow and reach a lot of non-musicians so that more people can learn to appreciate something that's still pretty underrated. You're also like my favourite KZbinrs at the moment, can't wait for you guys to reach 4 mill :D

[@jimpemberton]

I guarantee that a lot of these musicians are family members who the bride and/or groom thought would be nice to have in the wedding. I've heard it before: "We can get cousin Joe to play the organ. He took piano lessons back in the seventh grade and would be wonderful!" - Never mind that he doesn't play the organ or even have an organ to practice on... or hasn't even played since the seventh grade. It's okay. It's a keyboard and they're all the same, right?

[@ryano.5149]

THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME! Speaking from PTSD... This is a bit of a long story, so bear with me - I took a few organ lessons in college for fun. My primary is actually guitar, and I'm only a barely passable keyboardist to begin with. However, I had enthusiasm and a decent foundation... Anyway, fast forward to graduate school (MA Music Composition 2016) I get the idea "I want to take organ for credit, so the financial aid will pay for it!" I have a trial lesson on a piano with the teacher, it goes decently well and he agrees to teach me. Now, my teachers in college were kind, patient, and likely used to teaching amateurs. This guy...drove me absolutely bonkers, despite me working my butt off for him! Anyway, after a grueling semester, jury time rolls around. Now, I had been practicing on the school's small choir room pipe organ, and it was fine. I knew my way around it well. We had a couple pieces ready to go. Well, we were going to have the jury at my teacher's church...with a significantly larger organ that I had never touched before. Not a problem. My teacher explained to me that him and I will get there early and I'll have a good 15-20 minutes to warm up and familiarize myself with the instrument. Jury day comes. I'm sitting in front of the church with the head of the music department and the head of the piano faculty looking at our watches and they turn to me and say "Where's your teacher?" He was late. I did not have the 15 minutes I was promised to familiarize myself with the instrument. We got in, I sat at the console - everything on it was in French! Now, I know French organ terms to some extent, but when you are nervous as hell, French might as well be Klingon! So, my teacher pulled some stops, and said have at it. Well, I start playing the first part of a little two part invention thing on one manual, but the second I start playing the other hand's part on the other manual, I can't hear that hand! Turns out the pipes for this instrument were split...more or less evenly, between a case right behind the console on the altar, and a case ALL the way at the back of the church. I later learned from my teacher this was due to compromises that were made to fit the instrument in the building, as the church got it second-hand. Gee, thanks for the heads up, teach! lol Predictably, my playing falls apart. Now, without really knowing physically the layout of the console, and everything being in French my teacher had to come back up and help me out. He did, begrudgingly. I tried to play through the rest of my pieces...it probably wasn't a complete disaster, but it felt like it at the time. I was a wreck! Everyone was unhappy. Afterwards, they pulled me aside and told me not to take lessons for credit, but gave me a B for my effort...but that was probably one of the most traumatic experiences of my musical career. (Granted, I'd do it all over again, because I'm a better keyboardist for it!) TLDR: Organ is NOT the same as piano. Organs are all vastly different. Organ is possibly the least forgiving instrument. Whatever practice time you think you need on piano, double it for organ!

[@jimpemberton]

@@ryano.5149 I'm with you all the way. That's a nightmare jury for sure. I've been playing piano since the mid '70s, synths and electric organs in the '80s, but didn't learn pipe organ until the '90s. These days I just gig around with a keyboard/DAW rig and work as an audio engineer. You are absolutely right that they aren't all the same. Organ is a different creature than piano and I dare say no two pipe organs are truly the same. In fact, part of playing pipe organ is working out the registrations on the instrument you intend to play before you play it. If you went before a jury capable of judging your performance on pip organ, they should have known that you would need to work out your registrations first and practice with them so you could transition effectively. You were done wrong.

I was asked by a friend a couple months before his wedding to play my trumpet along with another friend from our college marching band. It was five years after college and I hadn’t picked it up since then. I didn’t know how to say “no,” and the other guy already agreed, so I started practicing again. It became pretty clear quickly that my embouchure was sorely deteriorated. The more I practiced, the more my lips failed, so eventually, I just limited my practicing and hoped I could pull it off on the day. Unfortunately, not being able to fully prepare caused me to be so nervous on the day that I could barely hold my trumpet to my lips. We were also supposed to play our school’s alma mater, but it is a quiet and slow song…I couldn’t even generate notes because of my nerves. All of this is to say: hire a damn professional! Your friend may agree because they don’t want to disappoint you…but you just need the music played well!

Trust me, I've been in a similar, if less extreme thank god, situation, and even then I was absolutely panicking and not thinking clearly. You go into survival mode, grab the first thing to hand. Come to think of it, my situation also involved a ukelele, hm, go figure. I absolutely would've broken that uke if there hadn't coincidentally been a mattress right there to catch it. Plus, totally the guy's fault, not hers. Don't put people in situations where they have to go into panic survival mode. He's the one who should be on the hook for that uke

[@andafasaisai]

Dude, she did self defense. Uke is the first thing that she can grab. I think that if the first thing that she can grab is a knife she would grab it. No smart people in this whole damn world want to break an instrument. I know you’re “a real musician” and get so fucking tricker over this, but trust me you would do that if you were the same stage as her. Edit: and yeah, this is the musician fault. He should grab an uke’s neck more tightly so she can find something else to hit that douche’s head. I know you may want to blame the musician, but from what I’ve read as non-native speaker I think you put a blame solely on her, which is unfair in this case.

[@TiggerIsMyCat]

Also side note to all musicians, if you offer someone a lesson on a stringed instrument, them having trouble getting the fingering correct IS NOT CONSENT to do the whole "wrap arms around them to put your hands on theirs to move their fingers for them" thing. Never, ever do that thing unless you've obtained explicit consent, especially not if you've not even implied that you're going to do it so that the person is caught completely off guard.
