Today, my piano teacher told me that she "forgot" to inform me that she volunteered me to play a 5-page song in a recital in front of 300 people that's happening next week. FML

You should get a few lessons from her without paying and then "forget" that you fired her.

Yeah, that's gonna be hard to pull of. But if you work hard and don't screw off, you could probably do it.

not a FML. I don't usually say that, but I would think that the opportunity to play in front of 300 people would be an honour. also your piano teacher obviously has faith in you. YDI for practising lots.

Remember that old trick about performing in front of a group of people: imagine the entire audience naked. Then stare at the hot, naked women in the crowd, play the theme of "Jaws" with your left hand while abusing yourself with your right. That ought to get you through it and teach your teacher a valuable lesson. For which you can charge 36 bucks.

nah, you could charge a full 40 and still get away with it. mix it up a little though, play the james bond theme, spiderman, etc. get away with as much as you can before they give you the boot. and then catch up with some o' dem ladies at the bar later on in the evening, and(if you played the james bond theme like instructed) hit on them relentlessly and order nothing but 'vodka martini, shaken, not stirred.' you could have an awesome story to tell, even if you somehow don't get laid.

you know, I did that once. Not the gouged my eye out thing. the defending a primary school from the forces of hell thing. Sure, it was a little difficult, expecially when the "dead by dawn" threats started puring in, but I managed to get every last man woman and child out of there completely unscathed.

Dude, just act sick. Here are some tips: 1. Start acting sick THE MORNING BEFORE the recital. 2. Wet your hands to make them seem clammy (it worked for Ferris Bueller) 3. Turn up the heater so you can seem as warm as possible 4. Cough 5. Shades under eyes always make a person seem more sick.

It's up to you whether you do it or not, at the end of the day. You did not ask for this, so don't feel like you have no choice. However, if you think you can, I'd still go ahead with it anyway. And it you hate it, bitch at your teacher all you like afterwards. You might manage it.

...5 pages is nothing...Try a whole sonata. Suck it up. Put in the couple of hours daily that is required of you if you're really serious about piano.

You must be good for her to trust you. Trust in yourself.
