Today, I had my final piano performance. There is a guy in my class who constantly tells me I suck at piano, so I was looking forward to watching him play badly since he never practices. Instead, he played the most beautiful music that would make Mozart weep. He got a standing ovation. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had my high school piano recital. The entire time I was playing, one of my classmates sitting up front kept booing me and yelling "YOU SUCK" at the top of his lungs. He drowned out the entire song. FML
Today, my piano teacher complimented my song, calling it great. I was proud and thanked him, then realized he was being sarcastic. FML
Today, at school, I was asked to play a complex piano piece in front of my class, teachers and guests. I nailed it, but what stood out most for everyone was how I apparently looked like I was being possessed while performing. FML
Today, I was happy to take a break and do a guitar performance, but my teacher was the rudest ever. He had his guitar at the front row, playing while I was, and he played the song live with me just to confuse me, and ending up ruining the performance. FML
Today, I started recording my piano exam pieces to submit, and I was proud at my interpretation that I spent time trying to make it sound good. That was until my tutor walked in and said I had "shit rhythm and ass intonation." My mom was there. FML
Today, I had a piano exam, for which I'd worked hard. I went in, and the examiner asked me to play some scales. I was so nervous, I played 3 octaves and then realised I'd ran out of space. I might have then said, "FUCK!" really loudly… and she heard. FML
Today, I was at a piano lesson playing a song I had worked very hard to make perfect. Halfway through, my teacher abruptly stops me and asks, "Did you notice that I rearranged the furniture?" FML
Today, I had my last orchestra concert and had a large solo. My dad came to watch and record it; however, the whole time he recorded another girl, thinking it was me. FML
Today, I was at a local talent show and during a piano performance I had to go to the bathroom. I sang along in the bathroom but was unaware how loud I was until I walked out and everyone started applauding me while the pianist was still playing. FML
Today, I had a test in orchestra class, which I'd practiced over 30 hours for. After I played my part, which I thought I did very well, my teacher asked how long I'd practiced. Trying to show off, I said, "Oh, just 30 minutes." My teacher said, "It shows; that was terrible." She was serious. FML

This is why you should always focus on your own art. Prove him wrong next time and better yourself instead of hoping for his failure!

Sometimes, you're such a natural at something, you don't need to practice.

If you want to improve, you could always bury the hatchet with this dude, and ask him to be your tutor. You might end up making sweet music together.

Why does this sound like the premise for one of those cheesy Hallmark movies?

Because it's the premise for EVERY cheesy Hallmark movie! They just tweak each one ever so slightly so lonely people think it's a different story. And that brings in the money.

Playing any instrument should be about what you like to do. There will always be someone better. If you enjoy it, keep playing. So what if he is better.

Just because he's good at something doesn't mean he's not an ass Focus on yourself, let judgemental guy do his thing

Forget the other dude, and focus on honing your skills. If your not playing because you love to play, you're doing it wrong.

Unless you live with him, how do you know he never practices?

How do you know he never practices? For some reason a lot of top students act dismissive about studying a lot, when in reality they do work the hardest. Never believe someone who claims they don't study/practice.
