I'm a college tuba player. I've dreamt about being a college professor of tuba/euph and a professional player for about 5 years. I have played in a few small community sized, 'professional' orchestras but haven't been paid. Here's my problem, has anyone ever had the feeling that you just won't make it to where you want to be? I don't plan on sitting in the back of Chicago Symphony but I would like to sit in the back of an orchestra and get paid for it. I just have been feeling like I'm not getting better as a musician or a tuba player. These feelings stem from a community band rehearsal which resulted in my former high school teacher had some not-so-flattering comments about my playing. It was really disappointing and it really brings me down. I'm kinda stuck. I'd like to hear if anyone has ever experienced any feelings of doubt and how to overcome those feelings. Thanks for listening...
