Yeah my parents are like that to. Just practice in your room and never show anyone your talents until you're really good.

you will definetly get bettter.

>Do I just need to stop being a little bitch and get over it? Therapy hasn't helped.
:c part is being a little bitch, but part of this is also logically rooted and I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Shrooms or LSD might give you a breakthrough, but be careful and do them in a safe, calm environment where you know you'll be staying there for the whole day undisturbed with only good vibes while you trip.

Don't let your parents hold you back. They sound like horrible parents that probably had you way too young. Good on you for wanting to learn something new and playing the sax is bomb as fuck.

I'm having a hard time practicing though. As soon as I get a note out I freeze up and immediately want to stop.

Yeah I'll definitely do that. I don't want to have a bad trip and end up even more fucked in the head.

I love how the sax sounds, I really want to play some sweet jazzy tunes. I hope I can get over this dumb fear.

Thanks for your encouragement, anons, I really appreciate it.

healthy solution: therapy
dude solution: weed
unhealthy solution: lashing out at your parents

If I was you I would do the third one

Actually though try weed before shrooms/lsd. If you even have a fear of a bad trip you don't know what you're doing.

Practice in front of a mirror then move on to practicing in front someone who will be kind and support your playing.

Saxophone sucks. It's such a rough, brutish sounding instrument. Why not learn something graceful, like the piano?

>>18725378

YOu get over it by realizing their hostility came from intimidation of you being better than them at something

Just don't sing or dance? It's real easy

It for sure did not.

So as a 10 years old guitarist I think i can give you one essential tip. Once you start learning instrument you need some audience to verify your playing. And it has to be as often as possible. If you want to become a great musician the main goal is to make people that dont give a shit about music feel excited with your show. Obviously you wont be able to do it at start so firstly you should have looked for someone that will lead you with the basics. Private lessons could be great. But you need to come up with your plays as fast as you feel you can do. Sitting in front of the "mirror" and practising will never give you an experience of entertaining people wchich is a key of every musician. I personaly am in the spot when im not able to make a great show in front of people even tho i have some decent skills on my strings. Its all because i was so stuck with the feelin that i dont have enough skill to do so and i need to practise on my own instead. So the point is that you should never be afraid of the criticism. Its often bitter but it always a lesson for us and it makes us better at selling our emotions to others. Sorry for my English. I havent written anything in this language for a long time. Hope u will menage to dig throuh all the hate and become aa epic sax guy some day :)
