@@camerontravers5876 me : shit. my paper sure have a *good* note... no need to breath, make sure to play loud then not even bother and then have that ulululululu note, also, is that demisemihemi note????
1:01 This is just another tip, but if you play a Demisemihemidemisemiquaver, the rule is that if you hear the note when you play it, you’ve played it for too long.
I watch this video probably a couple times a year because it never stops being funny and now I just used it to help me organize a speech on the same topic ❤️⭐️
Silvie 456 cellos are usually harmony, basses are more to set the tempo or uh... -s t a n d t h e r e- also bass melodies are extremely rare, normally the only time they get melody is for a specific bass centered piece
You could be a brass player playing Schubert's Unfinished. Just been doing that on the trombone - the trumpet section kept complaining I was picking my trombone up to play too quickly because they needed a cue and couldn't be bothered counting for that long.
Actually, I really appreciate how you define a half note as half the value of a whole note. Because really, whole notes and quarter notes and 16th notes really are all just defined relatively to each other. The tempo marking then determines how fast one of them is. It's not that "quarter note gets one beat."
I like how I’m watching this video four years after it was posted, while I should be at band practice, where I’ve been playing the clarinet for five years, but I’m sick so I’m watching this even though I learned all of this five years ago
My orchestra when there's a cord. Orchestra: Viola plays too quietly Violin 1 plays too flat. Violin 2 is all playing different notes. Cello is just bored. Bass has given up of boredom
This was so helpful! Everyone really liked my orchestra concert where everyone went Lululu mid song. This is in fact, one of my favorite videos on the internet
we were talking abt sixteenth notes and i asked my director abt the demisemihemidemisemiquaver and she said "i'll have to check the math on that" because i said it wrong
“There are also more obscure clefs that you’ll never be told about.” *shows C clef* Viola players: *minor second followed by drawn out A minor arpeggio*
As a high school trombonist I can confirm that that is the only thing fun about playing trombone. Other than that you don’t really need to tune it. You just shorten or lengthen the slide till it sounds good.

"these's remind you to breath, in case you forgot to breath"
Me : " *never found that thing on my paper* "
Me: Oh! That's what that meant!
@@JacksG13 Me : *no need to breath!*
@@camerontravers5876 me : shit. my paper sure have a *good* note... no need to breath, make sure to play loud then not even bother and then have that ulululululu note, also, is that demisemihemi note????
Hungarian Dance
It’s in my Turkish March PIANO sheet music. xD anxiety really gets some people at recitals-
1:01
This is just another tip, but if you play a Demisemihemidemisemiquaver, the rule is that if you hear the note when you play it, you’ve played it for too long.
Unless you're playing at the speed of 5 bpm

DEMISEMIHEMIDEMISEMIQUAVER
IVE COME TO BARGAINNN
Well dats stupid
@Doctor Strange how long did it take u to copy down that word?
Or in the words of our dear friend, Julian Cianciolo, *D O N T E V E N B O T H E R*
I watch this video probably a couple times a year because it never stops being funny and now I just used it to help me organize a speech on the same topic ❤️⭐️
"Counting to five has never been more difficult"
...felt that
“You put them together to sound nice”
*Sacrilegious noise*
Violists who cannot relate be like
“you’re very unimportant”
*basses have left the chat*
elllie basses are actually important cause they normally give the harmony or in *rare* cases they play the melody
And basses almost always play aswell :)
64 rest: you're a percussionist who got a cowbell
Bro I play Bass and frequently I will be the only one with rest bars of sizable length or the person with the longest
Silvie 456 cellos are usually harmony, basses are more to set the tempo or uh... -s t a n d t h e r e-
also bass melodies are extremely rare, normally the only time they get melody is for a specific bass centered piece
I am so glad that my band teacher played this for our class- now I am determined to show it to everyone I know and see if they have band humor
I'm trying to learn sheet music, and this was honestly the most helpful thing I've found all day
The 64 bar rest:
"You are a percussionist."
Im triggered
Its true though. When you play those unimportant instruments in concert band. There's only like one time you play in the whole piece.
You could be a brass player playing Schubert's Unfinished. Just been doing that on the trombone - the trumpet section kept complaining I was picking my trombone up to play too quickly because they needed a cue and couldn't be bothered counting for that long.
Or the piccolo player!
Or a tubist. Guess the piece:
Tacet
7 long notes, 40 bars rest, key change, 55 bars rest, key change, 19 bars rest, 7 more long notes, 4 bars rest.
Tacet
Tacet.
The band: *finishes*
Me: *lowers instrument*
The band: *takes the repeat*
Me: *intense sweating*
Never have I related so much to a comment
@Usama Elmahalawy it isn't ejaculation if it's red
the pacific wart it isn’t... oh god
Now pretend your playing
ARMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
😂💜
Actually, I really appreciate how you define a half note as half the value of a whole note. Because really, whole notes and quarter notes and 16th notes really are all just defined relatively to each other. The tempo marking then determines how fast one of them is. It's not that "quarter note gets one beat."
I like how I’m watching this video four years after it was posted, while I should be at band practice, where I’ve been playing the clarinet for five years, but I’m sick so I’m watching this even though I learned all of this five years ago
"Play loud, play louder, don't even bother"
Me, a trumpet player: *Are you challenging me?*
it's all fun and games till the trumpets have a soli
Can confirm.
NO NO I AM NOT PLS DONT PLAY LOUDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You do not challenge the almighty ones
...
My strings teacher said that she once played in an orchestra where the trumpet player had 7 F's on his music.
1:48 When your friend doesn't help on a group project
mood yes
“Friend”
Thought it was gonna be the 64 rest, pleasantly surprised
B dub It sucks😂
I understood almost none of this but it was probably more helpful than any other guide I could watch.
**Laughs hysterically**
*tRumPeT pLaYeRs dOn't wORry aBoUt BaSs cLeF*
let's be real here he's not wrong on the majority of this.
Amelie
He’s definitely not. It’s just an ... unconventional way to say it
Yes i agree.
except for the way he pronounces "stave"
Dan Cooper yeah that’s why I said majority
Actually, he is.
You can put them together to sound nice
The Chord: *DEATH*
My orchestra when there's a cord.
Orchestra: Viola plays too quietly
Violin 1 plays too flat. Violin 2 is all playing different notes. Cello is just bored. Bass has given up of boredom
Why don’t you like diminished seconds?
Minor second is illegal and shouldn't been played under any circumstances
@@benquiast4706 Pretty sure it's a minor second
Well, at least it's not a tri-tone.
I come back to this every now and again when I need a laugh. Never remove this please
This was so helpful! Everyone really liked my orchestra concert where everyone went Lululu mid song.
This is in fact, one of my favorite videos on the internet
-"You can put them together to sound nice"
>Plays a minor second interval
Best part of the video
The *"Demisemihemidemisemiquaver"*
...
*Spot on* 👌
Yee
You can tell it was his eighth take
You’ll find this information very useful
we were talking abt sixteenth notes and i asked my director abt the demisemihemidemisemiquaver and she said "i'll have to check the math on that" because i said it wrong
Or, the demisemihemidemisemihemidemisemiquaver
“There are also more obscure clefs that you’ll never be told about.”
*shows C clef*
Viola players: *minor second followed by drawn out A minor arpeggio*
This has been posted on our band google classroom MULTIPLE times and I NEVER get sick of it
At this point I think the demisemihemidemisemiquaver is an inside joke between 20% of musicians
WIIFIGHT! Yup
It really is
@@MoofEMP not just the british
Lmao yeah
It really is
"You can out them together to sound nice."
*plays the literal most absurd second interval to ever exist*
Akayxia oooouuuu idkhbtfm
Akayxia The most *beautiful, you meant xD
IDKHBTFM-
*ahem* sorry
You could also do the "Devils accord" which is in the case,literally horrible to hear
@@Someone-wj1lf or put a foot on the piano
I just love these types of videos. I want to see them everyday 😭
When he said "you should probably stop staring at the paper" for the ritardando and accelerando, that's too relatable
*8 beat rest* - you're unimportant
*64 beat rest* - you're very unimportant
*quote from* the video
*insert viola meme*
... measure...
Me: *has 264 measures of rest in one song in my college's concert band*
264 Beat Rest: _"Why did you even come here today?"_
As a musician, I can 100% confirm all of this
Potions_Master
As a highschool band kid, I can also confirm this as pretty much accurate
Potions_Master SAME
As a high school trombonist I can confirm that that is the only thing fun about playing trombone. Other than that you don’t really need to tune it. You just shorten or lengthen the slide till it sounds good.
Same here
Potions_Master Same here
0:43 "you can put them together to sound nice"
**proceeds to smash 2 concecutive keys together like a toddler's first time touching a piano**
I love his explanations at the end.
1:30 Play loud and then don't. Play loud, and then...don't 😂😂😂 somehow, he made perfect sense.
Clickbait. This was actually helpful.
I mean I am in band and it's not too shabby you know ,its sadly accurate to how I kinda read it
Ashley Webb (805ashwebb) He said it is clickbait because he found this helpful, when the thumbnail said it's not.
anti clickbait?
There’s nothing harder for a musician to do than count to five
How about counting to 9?
Shandi Crabill and what about 7? Or 33/16 (from another comment)?
@@anonymoususer9837 U have a point. Didn't think about it cause I haven't personally seen it.
Offbeat Triplets?
Victoria Sursely And don't get me started on a regular things like 7/8, 9/8, 96/72 (Yes, that's a real timr signautre. Don't bother looking into it. It will give you nightmares.)
