Sticking It Out by Patti Niemi Book Summary
“By turns reflective and dramatic, poignant and hilarious, Sticking It Out offers an irresistible portrait of the artist as a young percussionist” (San Francisco Chronicle).
When Patti Niemi was ten years old, all the children in her school music class lined up to choose their instruments. Boy after boy chose drums, and girl after girl chose flute—that is, until it was Patti’s turn. From that point onward, Patti devoted her life to mastering the percussive arts. Cymbals, snare drum, marimba, timpani, chimes: she practiced them all, and in 1983, she entered Juilliard, the most prestigious music conservatory in in the world.
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing New York City in the 1980s, Sticking It Out recounts Patti’s years mastering her craft and struggling to make it in a cutthroat race to a coveted job in an orchestra. Along the way, she has to compete with friends, face her own crippling anxiety, and confront the delicate, and sometimes perilous, balance of power between teachers and their students.
Bringing us inside a world that most of us never get to see, Patti’s vivid memoir is “an eye-opening tale of demanding teachers, grueling practice schedules, severe performance anxiety and bias against ‘girl drummers’—a funny, poignant first-person account of the fierce commitment it takes to succeed in classical music” (San Jose Mercury News).
“One of the funniest-ever classical-music books . . . and certainly among the best written.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer
“A shattered-mirror insight into the bizarre world of hitting things with sticks.” —Neil Peart, bestselling author, lyricist, and drummer for Rush
