In my opinion, to play on means to persevere through all the hardships. Sometimes you have those moments when all you want to do is quit because you can’t play a certain passage or technique correctly; you become frustrated and lose sight of how music is so essential to you. Overcoming those obstacles in itself is “playing on” despite all the struggles. There are those joyous moments when you beam with pride and a smile on your face, whether you’re playing chamber music, solo, or in an orchestra and think to yourself, “Wow, I love what I do.” In this case, since we are all separated and must communicate virtually, we are pushing through and overcoming this obstacle and always find a way to make music together. In times of need, music will always bring people together.

To fulfill the slogan “play on” requires a persistence from each and every student in orchestra. During the strangest of times, we as an orchestra are able to continue putting in effort to create music, and to most importantly play together.

To play your instrument means to expose your soul to the world. Or else you’re just blowing on a piece of metal to make noises that are organized in a certain fashion.

For me, “playing on” means that even if you only have time to practice for only 10-15 minutes, you would still practice for this 10-15 minutes. Those who “play on” don’t really see music as work; rather, they see is as having fun while improving their skills.

For me playing on means that you show up and practice no matter what, even on days when it feels difficult to sit down and play your instrument, you sit yourself down and practice, even if it is just for fifteen minutes. In other words, you play on.

The journey of music revolves around the relationship between the player and the instrument. In a sense, I have been playing on to the music as a symbol to express myself. Music helps me grow and keep growing. Instrumental music leads to me to areas, in many different genres, further away that words cannot express. Instrumental music can ignite imagery in the people who play it and also the ones who hear it, while words often mean one specific meaning. Therefore, if music brings everyone together in the tough times or in the normal times, we should be together to make music and PLAY ON.
