You don’t need to tell me. I am definitely looking forward to your performance with Interlochen.
At the end you said hank hill lol
Poor Hank was so scared he forgot his own surname...
I liked and subscribed because Hank Chang is a cinnamon roll and must be protected at all cost.
Ray's mind at the first minutes: "must play it bad, must play it bad"
Ray's body: perfect posture, perfect hand, perfect intonation
His contact point and posture gave it away!
Ray’s mind: damn it body! We’re undercover here
Ikr what a flex my self-esteem lol
When you're so good you can't play bad
*suffering from success*
True... his body can’t resist to be a pro
These look like legit, talented violinists. Can't believe they're only charging $5-20 !!!!
Yeah I was really surprised at those prices. Especially for people with masters in performance, that's crazy.
I don't play violin or viola so someone could confirm, but I feel like the video chat might limit the extent of how much one could teach. In any case, that price still seems very very worth it
yeah that actually made me really sad
IKR
It's a difficult time now, a lot of people struggling with making money now
Ray Chen disguised as Brett from TwoSetViolin!
HAHAHA YES OMG
I genuinely thought it was a twoset video at first!
Lol
🤣🤣
Lol
*Would've paid money for it to go this way*
Ray: "Who's your favorite violinists"
Teacher: "Twoset"
Ray: "WHA--"
Ray is pals with Twoset. He would have loved it.
@@raymondstone438 but still... He be like.. BRUH! :D
Ayyee first two setter I found! I thought it would be harder. Poor ray
@@AnthonyKravitz which blonde tho?
@@yoannsoh4009 Edwina?
I expect Ray to absolutely flex the crap out of the teachers lol
That, or pretend he has absolutely no idea what a violin is XD
When twoset joined a beginner strings class, the teacher had everyone sing a c and when eddy sang it, it sounded more like a scream mixed with a sound of misery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"A clown is a comic performer who employs slapstick or similar types of physical comedy, often in a mime style."
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western culture, including both liturgical (religious) and secular music. While a more precise term is also used to refer to the period from 1750 to 1820 (the Classical period), this article is about the broad span of time from before the 6th century AD to the present day, which includes the Classical period and various other periods.[1] The central norms of this tradition became codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common-practice period.

Overview
European art music is largely distinguished from many other non-European classical and some popular musical forms by its system of staff notation, in use since about the 11th century.[2][3] Catholic monks developed the first forms of modern European musical notation in order to standardize liturgy throughout the worldwide Church. Western staff notation is used by composers to indicate to the performer the pitches and durations for a piece of music.[2] In contrast to most popular styles that adopted the song (strophic) form or a derivation of this form, classical music has been noted for its development of highly sophisticated forms of instrumental music such as the symphony, concerto, fugue, sonata, and mixed vocal and instrumental styles such as opera, cantata, and mass.[4] Alongside traditional musical attributes, Classical music is conscientious about drawing from and re-purposing its formal and social tradition with forms such as the Mass evolving and communicating through over a thousand years.[5]
The term "classical music" did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to distinctly canonize the period from Johann Sebastian Bach to Ludwig van Beethoven as a golden age.[6] The earliest reference to "classical music" recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary is from about 1829.[1][7]"
Don't think the goal was to humiliate them though. That would be a really crappy motivation.
Idk why no one is talking about the teachers?
Often times these fiverr videos are super bad because the people featured are a bit of a joke, but the violin teachers here seemed super legit.
Super wholesome video, awesome job Ray!
They all seemed so nice and encouraging too!
Online services are legit. Just gotta find a good website/app
Maybe he just chose the legits one, since the list is kinda big
it can be because he's a world class violinist, he can identify the legit profiles easily. I was expecting this video to be the same as all those "pretend to be beginner, flex on incompetent teachers" stuffs, but it turned out really wholesome and gave these teachers some publicity.
- have perfect pitch
- I used to play violin until 12 yo
- I fell off a stage
THAT is character development right there
LMAO YES KDMDKD
And then in the middle of the video... He flexed his skill lmao
CONSEQUENCES
Dang, we should have suspected the Wattpad thing way back
I know and then he just whips out the Tchaikovsky😂😂🤣
LOL I can't get over how crazy this video is.
They all seem like really lovely people and teachers.
120 bucks a lesson! That's where I went wrong. And not being naturally gifted. Or practising.
Oh gosh it's CommunityChannel. Long time fan just saying always loved (and still love) your vids. Hope you are doing well =)
Woah
@Communitychannel i still watch your videos when im bored and sad :( we miss you so much!
120 a lesson? Jesus christ almighty
The cool thing is, this proves that you don't have to be Ray Chen in order to charge 120 bucks a lesson! Ha.
Seriously though I'm sure he had great teachers, and also accounting for inflation that's probably at least 150 or more today!
Early in the lesson: Can’t hold bow properly
Later: Play Tchaikovsky Concerto perfectly
That's what very good teachers do!!! Kappa
I died laughing at that transition 😂😂😂
I need these teachers kkkkkkkkkkk
Those are some Simply Piano level results😂😂
@@tanya16030 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Even the mask to cover the violin hickey... this disguise was on point, props to the italian guy for recognizing him before he started flexing
I didn't even realize the mask was for the hickey that's genius!
If I showed up to teach and saw Ray was my student, I would promptly log off, initiate a full refund, and leave a five star review.
I thought the sameeeee😂
Like dude, let me give you your money back
Missed opportunity. I would have him teach me instead.
I would want a lesson instead too!
*Alternate Reality*
Ray: "Who do you think I look like?"
Teacher: "Oh yeah! You look like-"
Ray: "Ray Chen?"
Teacher: "No, Brett Yang~"
Ray: "WHA--
I literally thought he was trying to be Brett
@@chickenflavoredmilk784 I thought so too! LOL
anyways who’s this ray chen guy? he seems to be impersonating hank chang. this is unacceptable!

this is like being a cooking instructor and finding out that one of your students is Gordon Ramsay
He did this once, just search it up 'Gordon Ramsey in disguise'. It was pretty funny.
Excuse me teacher, may I know where is the lamb sauce?
No! Because Mr Ramsay is scary! Mr Chen is friendly. Lol
@@meunomejaestavaemuso loll yes i saw this
@@dianal.1279 Exactly haha
"What did you do today?"

8:20 shout out to the Italian teacher who recognized him! That must have been such an EPIC moment
Epico
Grandissimo!!!
@@chelseadalotta97 Didn’t you mean aMaZiNg?!?
@@fakebob9591i understood the reference:)
I was worried those poor teachers would end up the butt of the joke but this was actually so wholesome and entertaining. Good on you Ray.
OMG..RAY YOUR DISGUISE ACCENT IS SO ON POINT I'M IN SHOCK!
Well, he's Australian but chooses to speak in an American accent and can basically switch between the two accents at will from what I understand.
Wait what
Ray's disguise accent gave me immediate fight or flight AND flashbacks to encounters with all Vietnamese acquaintances of my parents is2g
*Ray trying his hardest to play badly"
Teachers with their teacher eyes: "WOw you're very good, your technique, your posture, intonation!"
I think they've seen more beginner doing bad posture so many times the good one just really stand out.
"I fell off the stage and my violin broke" i started crying i cant breathe
Holy sh*t 😂😂😂😂
I want to like but it has 69 likes. I'm not gunna be that guy.
@@grease3873 come back
@@Artist-128 dammit lmao
Pls someone send me a clip of that
And it was a very... traumatic experience.
He should have had his awards just casually in the back during the lessons lol
That would have been so good
😂😂😂
This was great and all BUT HE’S SO CUTE AS HANK LIKE WHAT
THE ACCENT AS WELL ADJJGSKKDJD SO CUTE
And the hair and the glasses aghgjdksksksks
No.
Dea okay
Nobody:
Ray: disguised of Brett
Psd: Sorry i needed to do it cause he looks like Brett
Lol a Walmart-brand Brett
Next time, Brett can try disguising as Ray.....
BREEETTTT
Honestly, the dead face look and the glasses makes me think of Brett.
Oh, and the hair too.
Lmao same
Same :‘D
😂
Prob what he was aiming at XD
i didn’t see that until this comment lmaoo
"hank chang does not like scales"
well it seems me and hank have a lot in common
You and me both bud. Flutist here.
yep
maybe there's a Ray in all of us Hanks
Ray’s disguise as Hank was flawless. Amazing that none of those people recognised that it is Ray, making it hilarious.
ikr lol
then again, near-enough-doppelgängers are common enough that teachers tend to just not pigeonhole people
The Italian dude did though 👀😁
@@frankxie7846 asian stereotypes worked for ray this time. =D
Yeah except one person did recognize him...
He could have bought lessons from others too that recognized him right away. No reason to post does videos.

BAE lololololololol
😍😍😍😍😍
I can’t decide whether he’s being racist
@@JohnSmith-cx8co this is the stupidest comment i've ever seen. periodt.
I like how Ray played the Saint Saens Rondo and Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto on the $69 violin and still made it sound amazing.
actually so true! And even made the G string (which I think sounded pretty dodgy last time), sound epic!
Ray Chen is completely unrecognisable in his disguise, I kind of needed to remind myself that Hank isn't real and it's actually Ray Chen a couple of times lol
same haha... i totally didn't recognize him at first
Ray is channeling his twoset vibes in this video. I love it
Ray: I'm actually...**takes out the glasses and the hair*... BATMAN!!!!
No, that's Superman 😁
omg tchaikovsky i didnt know u were still alive 😳
Hey I wish you composed another violin concerto
@@nag1tosgf I am not, I just got the change to come here as kind of a ghost and check out how things're going
@@Jay-S04 well, I actually have, just it isn't published because I'm kinda dead, but si have written some of those
Nobody:
The most overly prepared student in existence: *brings a Strad to his first violin lesson*
(I know it's the $69 violin from the other video but for just the sake of the joke please ignore that 😂)
i wishhhhh he used the strad for this
PLEASE SAVE ME FROM THE BASEMENT!! I WANT TO BE FREE!!
Practice bOi
No
PLS BE SAFE
Damn.the dedication for this comment.
Report Ray Chen to the police for abusing Hank Chang
If i was one of these lovely teachers, i would freak out if a beginner start playing Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto tbh
Thank you Ray (and Hank😂) for this amazing experience, it was fantastic to meet you!
You did great! Join Ray's community on Discord. Link in video description. :)
💕💕💕💕
how did u guess him LOLLLL that was too funny!
It's so nice that Ray Chen took time to recognize and thank teachers! Also, I think I understand now how people can fail to recognize Clark Kent.
damn ray’s accents are all on point like how,
including that time he spoke in german
He's a musician. Being a good listener is part of the package. He just seems to be very good at applying what he hears.
**cough** It's not like he's Asian or anything and can speak in an Asian accent bcs He grew up in an Asian household (cough cough)
Ray is a very good actor, and can do any accent, it seems! If he ever needs a break from the violin, he should go to Hollywood!
"I have a pencil"
*whips out apple pencil*
- Ray Chen, 2020
HAHAHHAHAHAH
My biggest takeaway from this is how cheap top notch lessons are and how underpaid teachers are.
Wouldn't they notice who you are? LOL. Unless Hank Chang is perfectly disguised. I suggest another series where you surprise people by being the teacher. HAHA!
Hank Chang is perfectly disguised, lolll
This will be very fun!
Everyone has at least a few other "twins" that aren't related(at least not closely).
LOL Ray still sounds like Ray! Maybe because I'm Chinese... Haha! I hope Ray really have another series of him being the surprise teacher!
I definitely think they knew or had an idea from the beginning, they just didn't want to guess wrong lol
This Hank Chang guy is pretty good, he should be a concert violinist or something
It is must be hard for a virtuoso to hold himself and not to flex 🤣
That is the nicest most loving teacher ever: "I can see you are holding your bow in an UNCONVENTIONAL way." And the best of all: "Of course you haver perfect pitch, it's just that there are different frequences of perfect pitch!" I love her.
Ray Chen is the most humble famous person I have ever seen
FYI at 8:55 the Italian sentence "Ciao Melissa sono nel video di ray Chen" simply means "Hi Melissa, I'm in Rai Chen's video".
Ahh ha detto Melissa lol, pensavo avesse detto Ulisse
The teachers were exceptional; I haven't played in 20 years; thinking about taking lessons again and I'm seriously thinking about online teachers... Thanks Ray! I mean Thanks Hank!
Lmao dude even got 4 fine tuners out just for this joke.
CoreBoredom no, that’s the 69 dollar violin, not his strad
Cool, I didn't notice that
My favourite part is when Hank said ‘I’m not actually a beginner’ and everyone was like ‘durrrrrrrr’
lmao so true
Ray struggles to keep his asian accent and keeps switching between perfect english lmao
Yeah I noticed this too😂😂
I know Aline Pascutti, she is a colleague and a great violinist! That was amazing, Ray! Thank yooou
"I have a pencil"
*Takes out expensive apple pen*
I have a pen....
@@fluffernutter9420 I have an apple!
Catstuffies Tran Unh, Apple Pen(cil)!
@Martha Papadopoulou Unh, pen(cil) pineapple, apple pen(cil).
the most impressive part is that ray nailed faking a chinese accent.
Well he does speak mandarin so...
He is literally like Clark Kent. A totally different person with his glasses.
The falling-off-the-stage footage tho. O_O "I even fell off the stage and broke my violin." Imagine after saying that and then being like, "Now, i have a strad."
Fiverr tho, $5 for 30min? $20 for 60 min? It's a steal. Though, I guess virtual lessons aren't always as good. I certainly started at $20 for a 60min group piano lesson when I was 5 or 6, but by the time I was doing grade 8 pr 9 RCM I was paying above $100 for one-on-one.
I'm mainly impressed by how well Ray does a Taiwanese accent, it's super accurate. Despite hearing it all my life from my parents I still can't pull it off. Would be super cool if next time you offered to accompany them in a piece for the remaining time in the lesson!
Bruh those people are goin to get pranked so hard
His face when he was playing the Saint-Saëns showed who he really was, c'mon, who else could be with that eyebrow and face stuff????
I mean he did the same thing when he played your piece XD
his movements are way too smooth for a noob. Even when he tries to fake being bad it shows
Hahaha love the "beginner" playing in the end and the facial expressions 😂
Hello Ray-good luck with the stream (even though you probably won’t read this lol)
He probably will since their is only a few comments.
He even liked it lol
Does anyone even read these? or am I just typing to myself?
@@finxy3500 I do ... Thumbs up!
@@finxy3500 I read your comment! Usually while watching videos I will read all the comments to sort of get a summary of what the video content is. :)
I was so anxious about the whole thing.... he going to prank professionals and going to play his Strad, oh nooo!
But Ray is such an amazing person, that was a wonderful act of appreciation and generosity towards teachers and musicians!
For a moment there,I thought the man on the lower right was Brett.
I thought the same too.
You mean the right? there's nobody at the bottom left. And it... looks absolutely nothing like him, apart from being an Asian person wearing glasses. Kinda problematic right there...
Just Another Bucky Lover if you watch their tiktoks,you’ll get why. Plus,the glasses Brett wears looks exactly like the one the man on the lower RIGHT wears lol
@@usuallygrey I've watched plenty of 2Set. Plenty of people wear round glasses. That doesn't change my point. Whether you intended it that way, or not, it's still kind of a problem.
I thought exactly the same thing!
Imagine if RAY CHEN said “yeah let’s stay in touch” to you... yeah my heart would explode.
Imagine being flexed on by your student so hard LMAO
If you go to their fiverr pages from the links in the description, you'll see reviews from hankchang24. Haha.
He even left this review for Aline: Amazingly patient and knowledgeable teacher. 10/10 would recommend for any level of aspiring violinist. She improved me all the way to where I could play Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto flawlessly.
hahahahahahhaha oh ray
@@carolyong hahahahahaha
Ray Chen disguising as Brett Yang is what every Twosetters need to see rn
6:18 I have a pencil (Ray chen flexes his apple pencil)... Flexing already...
Loved how they were honestly praising Hank technique even when Ray tried hard to make it sound bad. They are good teachers !
I dunno, but Hank Chang looks much more like Brett Yang than Ray Chen :P
Hank needs to be a recurring character. Nonnegotiable.
Hank: Some people say I look like Ray Chen.
Teacher: Nah, you look more like Brett Yang.
This was so fun!! And such a nice gesture in the end! 😮😄
I would love to see you do this again. 😂 It was not only hilarious, it showers much love and support on the teachers that offer lessons, like for violin, and make them available financially for everyone. They work so hard for such little pay and deserve all of the exposure and recognition we can shine upon them. 😊
This is awesome. Being a music teacher is a thankless job and I am truly grateful for my music teacher and her patience.
Please don’t lock hank in the basement #protecthankchang
No
7:40 is Ray hoping that they will mention his name LOLOLOL
Bro, Hank does a super good impersonation pf Ray Chen, good for you hank!!
bro his disguise is actually so good tho
Now I want to have violin lessons from them. They're so nice.
This is a good advertisement for the teachers!
Imagine discovering Ray Chen is paying your fiver lesson and also compliments your playing. ❤️
Kudos to the teachers as well. All of them are great violinists!
It is really great to know good quality instruction is available this way for such affordable prices! These instructors are doing a great service.
When you watch this, listen to Hanks message in the end, realize the "100.007 views" and feel happy for him to be finally released... ♥
I watched 2Set Violin just for laughs and I Hillary Hahn then started to check out violin soloists on TH-cam. Two months ago I never listened to any violinist. I’m spending hours a day now. I enjoy chamber music as well. I watched a documentary on Janine Jensen I love that woman she conveys so much emotion into her playing I thought it was not real at first. I love to listen to her play however, watching her perform adds an additional dimension. So this 71 year old is hooked. I watch building, repair and setup violin videos. I was a drummer for 35+ years nightclubs to bowling banquets only a few years full time. House band at a large fiction center 3 to 4 weddings a weekend I have eaten more stuffed chicken dinners than you could imagine. Well a new channel violin subscribed. Thanks
I saw the Hank Chang photo when scrolling TH-cam and I was like “this guy looks familiar… but I don’t know anyone named Hank Chang, so maybe it’s just a coincidence”
That is awesome that you compensated them like that. Teachers and mentors are needed now more than ever
Omg Ray there is an even cuter version of you? Like what? There should def be a part 2 💯💯💯💯
i'm so glad you paid them good money for their time. Especially that first one charging 10$ for 30 minutes?? That's just inappropriately small an amount.
Awesome video!
Nobody :
Most youtubers : SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON
Musician youtubers : Accent that like button!
Hank : Love that like button.
Ray Chen is so cool and down to earth, sometimes I forget how famous Ray Chen is in the classical music community.
I had to stop halfway through the video and take a break because the way he is trolling them is just...😂🤣🤣🤣
Like even with the crazy bow hold he had perfect bowing technique!!! And then they started flipping out about the way he was holding the bow I just can’t stop laughing 😆 Thus is the type of quarantine content I love to see!
I think it would be really cool if you have a follow-up video where you give each of your teachers from this video a lesson/advice/whatever.
Loved the video, Ray! Thank you for supporting teachers during this difficult time. Also, thank you for showing me where to find affordable online lessons! I'm just getting started and didn't know where to find a good teacher I can realistically pay for so this is super helpful.
Loved this. They can put on their page that they taught you now!
LOL. I cant wait for this! Sounds like it'd be so fun. Even better if they recognized you XD
Well Ray,
You make that $69 violin sound amazing!
I love your videos and I love the way you support the string community!
