I never wanted to play the violin. I hesitated between viola and cello. I chose the cello, now I'm also thinking about the double bass, but I'm afraid of that transition.

Where do you get that handkerchief?

I tried this with the stem of my mouthpiece (French Horn - so about the same size as a pencil), but shiny metal doesn't have enough friction and it slides out with very little pull. A pencil has more friction but I worry that this friction is going to damage the surface of my lips.

Thank you so much I have a music test tomorrow and I’m SO BAD so this helps a lot😂 thank you!

If you start on a dreadnought and switch to a Tele it’s like going from insane to beginner difficulty on Call of Duty campaign mode. Electric is MILDLY harder to set up, but as far as actual playing and required dexterity, it’s not even a debate really… is it?

Thanks

You all going to chat the whole time or have some compassion structure with sound 😊

Every voice in the orchrstra is important

This is incredibly helpful, thankyou!!!

very heplful

Double bass is the goat!!!!!

im learning to play viola so this will be helpful 👍:)

Enough with the negative Viola comments that people pretend are jokes. I love the sound and that’s why I play it. I also sing Alto which would be a similar place in the music. I could not bear to practice those high frequency sounds of the violin nor play a lot of melody, which is boring to me and another reason I like singing alto. The cello is nice and deep but I don’t want to live that deep. It’s just not my thing you know. I definitely would not want to carry around the large cello and the large base and pay for those large strings! and the instruments cost more and I guess the bows cost more than mine. Even in the orchestra when I hear the violins play it doesn’t sound like real music to me, so I guess those high pitch sounds are just not my style

We're at the point now where similarities outweigh the differences. My current curiosity is sampled as against physically modeled. There are some very plausible software pianos as well but you still need a decent weighted controller keyboard.

I’m a freshman and I have never played an instrument before I’ve only been in choir for 2 years I will be playing the flute in my schools beginning band I am happy we learned sheet music in choir I think it helps a bc I’m already finalice with egbdf and face but I didn’t like reading sheet music in choir I would mess up a lot on more on identifying the time signature and other more advanced stuff and I wanna try band now and I want to be good at sheet music school dosent even start until a few weeks

This works for sax and is impressive. Thaaaaanks a lot man. I was struggling to move to a wider tip opening. Sounds amazing way better for my kinda air support, but my lips die way earlier ahahaha so the embochure is not quite ready yet. Hopefully if the gains continue all will be smooth sailing from here

I agree! As a violist myself, there are so many things the others can do that I can't. But the same goes the other way around. I can do many things that they can't. And there is just something missing in an orchestra without violas.

thank u

Im a 13 year old neurodivergent teen with focus and learning problems, and i cannot explain how easily I was able to understand this with just one video! Thank you so much, Bless

Viola and double bass. I prefer not to stand out. But between viola and double bass; I choose viola as it is smaller. If I am going for the double bass, then I'll go with bass guitar just for the mobility/portability. Both double bass and electric guitar uses E-A-D-G if I am not mistaken. And both instruments uses bass clef on sheet music.

Viola ftw. I'd say its the second most versatile of the four, it just cant go as low as the cello, but its easier to carry around !

The finger right next to the pinky is the weakest finger, the pinky is Just smaller than the rest, Not weaker

this was super helpful i used to play piano then clarinet and while teaching myself the glockenspiel i forgot how to read the music lol

oh woah, that is so cool. i was listening to sum music that had a violin sample in it n then i got *violently* curious abt how violins work. that was ultra insightful, thank u!

Fun video, loved the cello the most here

Thanks. I just received my P.E.T.E., and appreciate the guidance on 30 seconds on, rest 30 and repeat. My question is should teeth be together or apart? I already feel the “burn” after a few reps and know this is a great training aid! Thanks!

Thank you so much!! This is incredibly helpful, and I honestly couldn’t find this information anywhere else.

Cool

Thank you for more information......☺️

Wow! This is also very helpful for the bells as well. If possible can you make one more video for both drums, and bells too? If you could I’d very much appreciate it!

Tysm

Thank you! I was about to try electric guitar, but after watching this video, I think I am gonna stick with acoustic. I want to play and sing. It’s already complicated as it is, if I add the pedals and all the buttons, It will take away all the fun 😂. I play and sing to relax, I don’t want extra frustration!

great informative video.

Very helpful thank you.

too many questions are a waste. those piano benches do have height adjustment. hello?

The best overall instrument of every instrument type will be whatever instruments that have a Contra-Alto/Bass fundamental pitch from Double E-flat to G Bass, that's EEb/Eb-1 to G1. If it has a dark tone playing it's fundamental pitch, it's Contra-Alto. If it has a deep tone playing its fundamental pitch, it's Bass. That's the only difference between Contra-Alto and Bass is the timbre/tone since they are the same pitch. Contra-Alto/Bass instruments can go really really low and really really high which is why they're the best. They all have atleast a 5 octave range. In that regard, the best valved brass instrument is the F Horn pitched in FF Contra-Alto. The best non valved brass instrument is the Trombone in FF Bass, although the F Horn can still go higher. The best single reed woodwind instrument is the Clarinet in EEb Contra-Alto. The best double reed woodwind instrument is the Bassoon in G Bass. The best non reed woodwind instrument is the Flute in G Contra-Alto. The best string instrument is the Cello in G Bass. These instruments have the most versatility, the richest sound and add the most color vs the other instruments in their class. If you combine them all together in an ensemble full of Contra-Alto/Bass instruments only you will hear a gift from God himself as they can cover almost the entire harmonic series.

Thanks for the tips its very helpfull for me should i play the trumpet with buzzing or just blow the air what do you think

Firm corners, lokkede corners, loose corners...many ways. What if one does not fokus on corners and just on humming, blowing air and add trumpet? Would that not get the same way without thinking in tension?

This was helpful I have been trying to learn music theory And that process has taken me its sweet minute. And learning how to read it finally gave me the skeleton key needed. Looking forward to more flute videos and theory's just for flute.

It is not in fact the most difficult instrument. But it is VERY difficult compared to most others. But it's older variations can take that honor. But among modern instruments, it is not the most difficult.

If I have a music sheet for a song, let's say for "arrival of the birds by cinematic orchestra", will I be able to play different instrument by that? I mean to say will it work for piano, guitar, flute etc? If anyone knows, please let me know.

Cello sounds beautiful without help of others. However, all together is a beautiful sound too.

do i actually need this?

They are all the best! The conversation is best when we realize how they need each other to be complete in making music.

Better yet; buy a P.E.T.E from Warburton; it’s better than a pencil😊

I knew the first pianoforte was built around the last years of the 1600.

This is exactly what we need to see. Some videos go on for 15/20 minutes & the artist never actually SHOWS you the embouchure. They just talk about it. Clean, concise & to the point!! Good job!

Fascinating, thanks for this. Please may I ask for suggestions for how to stop my finger collapsing when playing. I saw your video from 2 years ago, but I am hypermobile, so fingers just bend till they run out of tendon. I use thums and wrist split to help stabilize them but don't want to get injured playing.

Hi what was the song on the backing of this video please?

Thank you
