Dear all tuba friends here!
For the passed few years, I was always suffered for how to survive as a classical musician (I mean not to become something else). I tried so hard to keep myself to have confidence in Tuba performance. Well, I have to say, I like to play tuba although I am not as good as I expected, but I pretty much enjoy myself. I love the tuba although I am a "little" man plays big sized tuba....I just love it! As everyone knows, music business is a very tough business nowaday. I knew, to survive in a difficult enviroment requires TALENT, TECHNIC, KKNOWLEDGE and CREATIVITY! But it also requires great OPPORTUNITIES! Well, I will have to say, that is very difficult for me. Especially I am a Chinese tuba man. A friend of mine had suggested me to switch my career. I told him that I was born for tuba (that was a brag). Well, for keeping my promise, I am going to go home after I graduated from here. I actually holding a job in Beijing now. The pay is not good at all, but still doing tuba business.
Am I stupid!!!???
