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.

A lot of people would kill for that opportunity. Why take lessons if you don't want to play?

Um... maybe OP wanted more time to prepare for such a big performance? I think that's pretty obvious. Also some people do stuff because they enjoy for themselves not so they can show off to other people.

oh **** off I was doing that when I was in 4th grade. You must not be a very good pianist... Go and practice. Its what your teacher expects you to do- not bitch about it.

Just tell her that you 'forgot' you won't be able to make it.

Well either you're serious about playing the piano and you'll do everything you can to succeed, or you'll drop out or fail because you didn't try hard enough. Either way, you'll find out what you're made of. I say bust your ass and pull it off, you'll feel great afterwards.

So "forget" to tell her the night of the show that you took an eight of shrooms and downed a bottle of vodka.

Oh man look at this guy who can't just appreciate somebody taking the time to learn some music, it's all about the way HE plays music and the pieces that HE plays. What a dick.

It doesn't matter what you think is hard when it's quite likely that OP is at a different stage in her musical development. Coming and posting something like that is terrible for confidence. Normally I wouldn't give a shit, but I am not cool with someone degrading someone's musical endeavors. It's like going to a five year old and going "hahah JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU GET DOUBLE DIGITS HAHHA!!!!!" Learning is about encouragement, not spiteful bragging. Especially when you're learning something as amazing as muic.

I responded to you because, at the time, you were at the bottom of the list. Your reply is slightly worrying because it implies that the degradation of one person's musical journey is OK so long as there's a group of people doing it too.

practice your ass off and play what you can that day. and if you happen to forget something, just do a glissando and everyone will think it sounds "oh so pretty." or you can just end the piece a few pages early.
