I have been playing piano for about 20 years but never at anything beyond an amateur/hobbyist level. I went and got my bachelors and masters in science and interdisciplinary fields and struggled a lot to get my degrees and get jobs I like and can thrive in. Whenever I hit a low point, playing piano was always there for me. I've never had any illusions about being a professional musician. But seeing this video.... It makes me so sad. I would have loved to go to school for music. Your life is amazing, the opportunity to be steeped in music to that level... It's something I wish I had the balls to do basically. Nowadays I play everyday, I took up guitar and ukulele as well, and i teach piano on the side because I just can't give it up. Watching this video makes me happy and sad at the same time.... That's all I have to say. Thanks for reading.
I graduated from ESM 12 years ago. My experience was identical to yours...except it looks like the food and cafeteria in the dorm is WAY better than when I was there. Good! Keep up the hard work but don't forget to chill sometimes, it's just as important to the learning process. "I can't think anymore and I'm cold" = the ESM experience in a nutshell hahaha
i love the energy and everything was so relatable (lol), thank you so much for making this video!! it was really informative and honestly super entertaining hehe
Hi Ju, this brought me right back. I graduated in the class of '79. I'm happy to find that many of the good things about Eastman remain. I see this was created three years ago, so, wherever you are now I hope you're well and happy! Dana Newhouse
Hi! My mom went to Eastman many many years ago and my fiancé went to RIT so I feel a strong connection to Rochester :) cool to find another musician vlog, good luck with everything!
Great video!! Way to represent Eastman!! What does the Eastman Community Music School do? What are you up to now, four years after posting this? How do you feel about music theory now?
would you say the environment here is intimidating or more chill? cuz i feel like id probably feel a lil nervous if i went to school with a bunch of top tier musicians lol
some classes have a lot of students but most of my classes only have a few! it's not a large lecture based setting, but about like 10-20 people to a class??
4:38 that's the coolest crosswalk paint I've ever seen

I like how the class sizes are small and you now everyone's name's. Are all the classes this size or are do some classes have more students?
some classes have a lot of students but most of my classes only have a few! it's not a large lecture based setting, but about like 10-20 people to a class??
What are you doing now? 🤔
