Yass blues scales... play these chords blah blah. and she was gonna start with simple improv solos (like literally every teacher but whatever she doesnt know ive done that millions of times). and i was like WAIT. before we do this i have ONE QUICK RLY FAST QUESTION... and i opened up my notes and i explained to her that for band im so confused on what a CODA is and the internet isnt helping and i just dont really understand how they work. cuz i asked Freak boy last week and he said he didnt know. and You Know What This 'Amazing Piano Teacher' Told Me.

like ok wtf. i GUESS i understand if a drummer/guitarist cant read it (but also ??????) but What. an amazing piano teacher Doesnt Know. it oculdve been like a 1 minute explanation but she was like "ya im not really great with sheet music.... i can do some research and get back to you..." WTF. atp ill figure out the coda on my own... i dont Need someone to explain it to me i guess... its just confusing with the italian crap and the letters and idk. ill figure it out its whatever but its so weird that two MUSIC TEACHERS ive asked DONT KNOW HOW TO READ MUSIC? and katya taught basically stuff i already knew.. 12 bar blues and imrpvoing and stuff... and she asked what i wanted to learn/get out of these lessons and i explained to her what im really bad at and i showed her my sheet music and i explained idk how to get good at being fast and reading and comping and soloing and counting and keeping up and theory and Crap (basically everything) and Yk What She Said. "im kinda self taught.. i more specialize in the blues and im not really trained in jazz... im also not great with the sheeet music.. i mostly know my way around the keys themselves... but ill do my research this week into it and ill take a pic of ur sheet music and we can do it next week!". girl goodbye. U cant read sheet music U arent trained in jazz... like im sure shes amazing at waht she does but im just. so. like no way ur gonna teach urself and study up in a week on this crap. thats NOT HOW JAZZ PIANO WORKS. WHY ARE THERE NO JAZZ PIANO TEACHERS IN THIS WORLD. IM GONNA LOSE MY MIND. WHY IS IT SO HARD WHY CANT I JUST DO IT. i want to be taught by a person Trained in Jazz Piano. Is that TOO MUCH TO ASK. like actually how tf did other piano boy learn this much because holy crap this is impossible to accomplish genuinely. im losing my MIND. anyways drum was chill i lowk take back what i said before and i like my new teacher... named Gavin. i couldnt get isaac but its whatevr. hes so chill its funny and ALSO he curses in like every other sentnce and its so FUNNY... ive never had a Teacher curse so often.. nico would curse but like once a blue moon but No this guy curses like every other sentence... not like yelling out curses but just liek "oh u can fuck around with it".... Ya know..... in a chill way. hes also so honest and transparent its funny. he was like lowk complaining and he told me he only gets paid $26/hour (when class costs are more than that for customers) and that people only work at music studios like mine to build rapport so they can quit and offer private lessons.. like LOL okay. but he overheard me telling the receptionist that katya didnt work out
and he was like kinda in the convo and mentioned some other guy or whatever and the receptionist was trying to work out another teacher whose ACTUALLY TRAINED IN JAZZ PIANO. (ive been through so many teachers its driving me insane). and idk they were talking abt some random people that probably wont work out in the long term bc they specialize in jazz with Other instruments and Not piano (WHY CANT ANYONE DO JAZZ PIANO IS IT REALLY THAT HARD? (yes it is i guess)) and it was whatever and whilst i was walking out he was like Pssst Brooke do you want me to link you up with one of my friends Outside of this studio/... and i was like Hell yes. he explained that Ya theres basically no one at my current studio that will be able to teach me in the way i need to be taught and no one actually specializing in jazz piano so i will Probably need to find alternatives... and he gave me the number of a girl... he showed me vids of her playing and Holy crap she was so awesome... she is lowk far away but also i thought it was funy CUZ NICO MADE ME THE SAME OFFER. and i ended up texting nico and asking for his jazz piano friend connections bc idk if i wanted to do something far away or home lessons sounds rough... he said hell Let me know. so Yay.. kinda... i hope it works out because i still suck every day but at leasst my band teacher is on paternity leave and i Think that i have never wanted to do well in something more than this in my entire life SOoooooooooooo. Sigh. why is the struggle actually so real im losing my mind why is this so hard and why can other band piano boy play so flawlessly every day. Today he told me i needed more practice. Kms. anyways... im so tried and i need to shower andi feel like im going crazy. anyways im in love with every bass player on this planet and goodnight XOXOXOXOX
