Brett: You guys might know this thing called the Ling Ling Workout Kid: Yeah Brett: Yes Kid: Everybody knows it Brett: *YEAH IF YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS*
As a flute player, I was disappointed. I frequently use my headpiece as a slide whistle to entertain my students when I invade the band. They could have done so much better.
I'm ambidextrous. People don't usually practice violin with different hands. There's no point. I can only play right-handed because that's all I've practiced.
@@LexNoxus Ambidextrous here too, ehh, if you want to develop it you can practice it, I was left handed but have written by obligation with my right hand, and I can do almost the same (except draw and play guitar) with both hands
You would still need a lot of practice forming the proper shapes with your oppossite hand. Plus the strings would be flipped, so the thickest string would be at the front and the thinest at the back, meaning you would have to do the bow movements differently
Honestly it would be really cool if you guys occasionally uploaded a video of you playing a piece you learned/know/like! Your channel is hilarious but you’re also really good musicians so it’s cool to see you genuinely play
Legend has it that Ling Ling can reproduce himself at one point he reproduces teaches himself a bit then dies and his reproduced-self evolves into him thus he is imortal
My orchestra played it at a much slower tempo (*than they first played it) so personally I think it sounds better that way, but it does sound really cool at a faster tempo
I wish twoset would go to my school. Our orchestra class practically only talks about twoset and our teacher even recommended us to watch their channel too.
Part of me feels like Ling Ling Workout should be part of every orchestra's practicing routine. Like, once a month or some deal. Keeps things fresh and interesting. And if they get even better at their instruments through the workouts, that's a nice bonus.
The instant coordination in the viola section at 5:18! #violagang #represent *update:* All these pieces are so nostalgic! I’m right back in my school orchestras! Haha
You know, despite how much you were joking around in this video, you two are actually really good with kids. If either of you had ever decided to become a music teacher, I think you would have been amazing at it.
Percussion challenges: Swap instruments every 2 bars Play sitting in the floor Play with underhand grip (mallets included) Sing/beatbox your part Play one handed Play all notes as double strokes
So brilliant, how much fun the kids had, like they finally had a chance to enjoy the music. I'm not even a classical musician, but what you two are doing is such a pleasure to watch unfold. In an age of motivational sound bytes and memes, what you guys do is real inspiration. While never being too serious. Thank you.
As a clarinet, I can say that playing with just your mouth piece is 100% guaranteed flashbacks to learning how to start playing and forming an embouchere
@@lunamyuu4375 As a bass clarinet player, I kind of understand, but one of my band directors really likes the low sound of the low woodwinds and appreciates us :}
1:52 when ur the kid with the cat ear headband..... yeah, that was me ;-; it was rlly fun but it was torture seeing eddy and Brett coming in as a viola gang member ;-; ;-; ;-;
I literally do all these, plus more (for the string one sit more of like fingering for only one note and play whole song and blah blah) and I too play flute 😂😂😂my band director was very strict
My orchestra went to Carnegie Hall to perform Come to my school Just don't make us play our music (the Holberg suite) 2x fast... That would be a disaster...
@@emilyyan2101 yeah it was really pretty. We played the Holberg suite, the Vivaldi violin Concerto in Si Minore and the Simple Symphony suite. I can send a link to us playing it in our own auditorium but I can't send a link to the Carnegie performance due to strict NYC laws but I have a vlog with a picture of me in Carnegie in it if you want proof
Yesterday i went to a phone store, and i made the display phones there subscribes to TwoSetViolin. I didn't forget to turn the notification on ofc! That's how much i love this channel ❤
now you've learned your lesson NEVER ask a clarinet to remove their mouthpiece. Never remove your mouthpiece if you're a clarinet. Or yo graceful (or wutevah) listening senses (ears) shall decay (die.)

Yeah, it sounds like whoever was editing the video left in an unused audio track in that got unsync'd from the rest during the editing, and then they exported their project without deleting the track. And then didn't listen through to the whole video to make sure everything lined up before posting it. I don't think it's just for effect; it sounds like a tracking error.

It’s also kinda sad
That hurt my feelings
True though
Can you imagine the horror in the minds of the viola players when Ed and Bret showed up?
That’s why they stood in a circle, so they could cast a viola spell to protect themselves
@@JuliaN-fi9zw it's the only way they'll be able to play 15 notes a second to defeat Ed, Brett and their violins

It is a March after all
Agreed.
It was awesome

"Just the mouth piece"

That was my exact thought for the flutes
Only one finger on the left hand would've been interesting.
Actually you can do some notes if you stick a finger inside. Like a slide whistle more or less haha
Oh elementary orchestra, where basses look like cellos.
It’s funny cause it’s true
For a second I was wondering why they were holding the cello bow so weird
TRUE
In the finger tock section when they showed the bass kids I was like
"ARE YOU SURE THOSE ARE B AS SES?????"

What if:
“Swap the Instruments Around, Right Hand to Left Hand”
and one of the kids was Ambidextrous
I'm ambidextrous. People don't usually practice violin with different hands. There's no point. I can only play right-handed because that's all I've practiced.
Alyse Rodriguez Ooh, you are lucky, I wish I was ambidextrous
@@LexNoxus Ambidextrous here too, ehh, if you want to develop it you can practice it, I was left handed but have written by obligation with my right hand, and I can do almost the same (except draw and play guitar) with both hands

it'd still be difficult cuze, muscle memory.
These guys are making musicians sound horrible and everyone loves them XD
Also the geese insert just killed me.
It makes them realize too how much they need to work on in terms of concentration and skill though (well some of the workouts)
"any questions?"

"Asian Parents."
Honestly it would be really cool if you guys occasionally uploaded a video of you playing a piece you learned/know/like! Your channel is hilarious but you’re also really good musicians so it’s cool to see you genuinely play
They prolly want you to come to their concert if you want to see them actually play
@@RadenWA I would if they were playing anywhere near me, but they aren't :(
They did that in the past, just look up some of their first videos
SO agree :)
Seems to me I read somewhere that their first videos were just them playing stuff, but nobody cared.
One night, Ling Ling had a dream. In that dream, every school in the world had an orchestra that did the Ling Ling workout as a warm up.
Ling Ling never dreams, he only practices (or maybe he does both at the same time)
Mikael P. most likely
This is Ling Lings's distant relative so he probably knows more about Ling Ling than any of us do.
That was his greatest dream ever and Ling Ling went on to become the best musician until now.
Legend has it that Ling Ling can reproduce himself at one point he reproduces teaches himself a bit then dies and his reproduced-self evolves into him thus he is imortal

They’re just a tiny bit of ONE of his warmups
Not even warmups. Ling Ling's diaphragm does these when he breathes in.
Nah that's just 1 cell
He does these, and then he does them all simultaneously, and then, he wakes up.
This is so cute. Every school band should do these. The kids loved it❤️❤️❤️
