@@easyteh4getperson they're for middle class parents to put a certificate on their wall and brag to other middle class parents that they are superior because their child has Grade 3 violin and the other child only has Grade 2 😉 in reality it's just a way of creating a framework for the process of learning an instrument, giving students a goal to work towards and an indicator of how far they've progressed. Grade 8 is often a prerequisite for music degrees or teaching courses but the others aren't really 'for' anything except giving yourself motivation to achieve your goals and move on to the next stage.
This is just basically Brett and Eddy lowkey showcasing their skills. I sometimes forget that these guys are pro and can play superbly well. I love these guys! Hahaha!
I honestly never though one of them would get a new violin (dunk know why) cuz it feels like the ones they had/have where almost as big of a part of 2set as brett and Eddy since they are the actual violins. But as long Eddy likes the violin it's good :)

@@benjaminyaary8419 but wouldn't it be harder for the examiner to grade the examinees because from my experience, tone and emotion or interpretation is pretty hard to hear through the zoom calls, also the acoustics would be a problem for many as not all examinees have *that* good of a room... :) also, it actually is harder to study the pieces right now through online classes sooo... welp that's just an opinion of someone who takes exams yearly 🙃
Yep, I'd like to see them sightread some of the ones they don't already know. Also this overview neglects that the standard of playing is expected to improve significantly, especially for the diplomas, so even if the pieces aren't that much harder the level of finesse required is.

Did anybody else just sit back and listen to the beautiful music? They have the utmost skill and it really shined through every piece they played(the Bach Fugue and the Brahms Violin Concerto were amazing!)
I am so impressed by Eddy and Brett. Did you notice that the harder the pieces got, the more they closed their eyes and just felt the music? They didn't even use the notes as more than support. I love this channel so much!!
That's also kinda because they have played all the harder pieces many times and know it well by heart. I think they didn't know the beginner pieces which is why they had to sight read them.
I was very impressed as well! Excellent musicians. But the eyes closed was probably when they knew the piece already and didn't have to read the music. :)
I've been studying ABRSM's program for years now...To think that the pieces I had to spend months practicing, these guys could just sightread them... I need to practice.
I love how they're so comfortable playing each other's violins and it's like second nature to them at this point since they've known each other so long. I aspire to gain a friend like that. But none of my friends play instruments so that might take a while.
I actually have a friend that switches recorders with me. As I bought my new traverse flute she brought hers to our rehearsal and we tested each others instruments. Now I realize how fantastic this is ❤
I know it's been said alot but, Brett just becomes a different person when he's playing... and that's really cute for some reason 😂✨ Edit : thank you so much for all the likes guys. This is the first time that I've received these many. 💕✨
Guys, I am so happy to find you! I have had 8 years of violin in Ukraine in 80-s. Obviously, we had no idea who was Ling Ling that times as well as we had little access to knowledge and good live examples. Anyway, after 30 years you inspired me to take my violin out (surprisingly it still sounds) and to start practicing every day (with little progress already). Never in my lifeI could I expect that hard practicing can be such fun))). I also follow Eddy's recommendations on his channel. Thank you guys.
Same here!!! Gave up at 15 (learned for 9 years), picked it up again at 35 after I started watching twoset. I used to hate practice but now I enjoyed it like never before and tried to squeeze time for it after a full day working. Never too late to learn and enjoy music! Keep practicing 😄
Actually wished they did it more often. I do understand that this channel is geared to a younger audience who enjoys the goofiness, as they seek to inspire young folks to PRACTICE (40 hours) their instruments.
i know right.. we enjoy their channel because they are 2 funny goofy violin nerdballs (which needs to be on a t-shirt) but often you get something like this which shows the reason they have a channel in the first place, that even people who have no idea of anything about music, like myself, can enjoy. You don't even need to understand what they are doing to enjoy the reactions.
Honestly I forget that sometimes. But it’s only because they make everything look so effortless, it gives me a false sense of understanding at what level a professional should be. My only level of music is fifth grade clarinet. I watch to learn about music and because their raw charisma is utterly charming. Since they’re so casual, I also forget that they’ve played at the White House and massive orchestras. Basically, for me, they are so amazing that I forget what it means to be a professional musician.
A big, big thank you To the judge who took pity on an 11 year girl forced to take the ABRSM 8 piano exam and then proceeded to mess up on every single scale. The girl ended up passing with merit. That girl was me. I survived my Asian parents thanks to you I am eternally grateful miss judge 🙏
Congrats, iam also learning abrsm piano iam in grade 3 right now i got my first time merit in grade 2 exam my teacher was very happy he still is happy but he doesn't pay much attention to me like he do to other students he just stands behind me and examine me playing grade 3 pieces and walk away with a large breath to other students in my opinion i think he is proud of me that he doesn't need to correct me much on playing the pieces

Lol, where I grew up (Southern California) and in my circle of friends (children of Chinese middle class society where most of the parents were doctors or engineers) we were expected to play all of these before the age of 17, and then go off to medical school to become doctors.

Mister Tchaikovsky, sir, Mister Eddy and Mister Brett here were talking about the conspiracies about your death. In fact, it has been a mystery since years and years ago. Can you enlighten us, probably? 🤓

I never really did any proper grading, but these are some of the pieces I learned on the piano: Bach Minuet in G Bach Musette in D Clementi Sonatina in C Mozart Rondo alla Turka Mozart K 545 Mozart Theme from Piano Concerto no. 21 Tchaikovsky Swan Lake Beethoven Fur Elise Beethoven Moonlight Sonata Pachelbel Canon in D Chopin Nocturne in Eb Op. 9 no. 2 Bizet Habanera Bizet Toreador March Bach Air on the G String Chopin Grande Valse Brilliante Beethoven Pathetique Sonata Mozart Eine Kleine Nachtmusik Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor(learned the Toccata 8 years in, fugue 2 years later) Handel Largo Mozart Fantasia in D minor Mozart Fantasia in C minor And many more And currently learning: Beethoven Appassionata Sonata Bach C minor Keyboard Partita
I am traumatised from my Grade 3 exam. I remember now why I said I am not doing grades again after grade 2 15 years ago. Now I am prepping for grade 4 for purely for technical learning. I am NOT taking grades again!
Brett and Eddy's confusion at Sakura lol. Yes, it is supposed to sound like that, it's pretty distinctive of enka I think, but I'm not an expert so I could be wrong.
It blows my mind how sometime one violin can create what sounds like two complete separate sounds within the same instrument. Almost like oif you listened with your eyes closed you would think there was two instruments being played simultaneously
Growing up playing some guitar I always heard how impressive it was when people could "play by ear", i.e., hear a melody and play it back, but to me its just as impressive and a hell of a lot more useful to be able to sight-read like this. Its a skill I desperately wish I'd learned. I suppose if you taught me one thing, its that its never to late to start!
Final grade: Brett’s Lofi track

@@easyteh4getperson they're for middle class parents to put a certificate on their wall and brag to other middle class parents that they are superior because their child has Grade 3 violin and the other child only has Grade 2 😉 in reality it's just a way of creating a framework for the process of learning an instrument, giving students a goal to work towards and an indicator of how far they've progressed. Grade 8 is often a prerequisite for music degrees or teaching courses but the others aren't really 'for' anything except giving yourself motivation to achieve your goals and move on to the next stage.
How do you know the "sacril boi" can't do the same? Being prejudicial is always easy....
when he started drunken sailor i went offffff man that's an ageless bop
I agreeeee!!
Me too!
True 😂 😂 😂
This is just basically Brett and Eddy lowkey showcasing their skills. I sometimes forget that these guys are pro and can play superbly well. I love these guys! Hahaha!
Highkey*
I love how Eddy rocks out to everything Brett plays haha
Fun fact: today are the 180 years since Paganini's death. And today is the Paganini's day, organised by the "Società dei concerti" of Parma

I love how everybody’s talking about the playing but nobody’s talking about eddys new Violin
I forgot about that!! Asdfghjkl
I feel like I'm going to miss hearing his old one
I honestly never though one of them would get a new violin (dunk know why) cuz it feels like the ones they had/have where almost as big of a part of 2set as brett and Eddy since they are the actual violins.
But as long Eddy likes the violin it's good :)
Really? I missed it! But it’s sound a lil bit different,I thought i was misheard
Aisyarah Andina he said he can’t wait for his new one

When your Abrsm exam is cancelled so you watch two set play the pieces instead
noob if you had rcm exam you'd do it through a zoom call
@@benjaminyaary8419 but wouldn't it be harder for the examiner to grade the examinees because from my experience, tone and emotion or interpretation is pretty hard to hear through the zoom calls, also the acoustics would be a problem for many as not all examinees have *that* good of a room... :) also, it actually is harder to study the pieces right now through online classes sooo... welp that's just an opinion of someone who takes exams yearly 🙃
Jess D mine was cancelled-_-
fr
My violin oral is cancelled :/
I think the higher levels are actually easier for them because they basically memorized the whole piece...
Yep, I'd like to see them sightread some of the ones they don't already know. Also this overview neglects that the standard of playing is expected to improve significantly, especially for the diplomas, so even if the pieces aren't that much harder the level of finesse required is.
This type of video is my fav. Please flex it more hehe

The way they would look impressed after the other nailed a particularly hard passage is endearing. Get you some friends like that haha
I'm still amazed at how much comedy you guys can pack into the single words after each piece
Did anybody else just sit back and listen to the beautiful music? They have the utmost skill and it really shined through every piece they played(the Bach Fugue and the Brahms Violin Concerto were amazing!)
Yep! They are amaZing!!
I am in love with the Bach fugue ( if anyone wants to hear it you can go to Hilary Hahns channel to listen to it )
@@nellapenelope3240 yes they aRe!!
@@teasokolovska8099 Me too!! I love it so much. Ray Chen's is also good, but I will definitely check out our Ling Ling Goddess!!!
@@teasokolovska8099 I have downloaded that piece. It is absolutely lovely!
I am so impressed by Eddy and Brett. Did you notice that the harder the pieces got, the more they closed their eyes and just felt the music? They didn't even use the notes as more than support. I love this channel so much!!
That's also kinda because they have played all the harder pieces many times and know it well by heart. I think they didn't know the beginner pieces which is why they had to sight read them.
I was very impressed as well! Excellent musicians. But the eyes closed was probably when they knew the piece already and didn't have to read the music. :)
They know the pieces and its called concentration
Yeah the first ones they had to keep their eyes open to sightread.
I was about to mention the same! Absolutely true.
No one:
Literally no one ever:
Brett: sight rieding
Eddy: _gently swinging_
The way these two just breezed through my exam pieces 🥺
Can we get Sophie Oui Oui to do a piano version of this!
Yas 😂😂💕
Nobody:
Brett: “Corelli-19”
I've been studying ABRSM's program for years now...To think that the pieces I had to spend months practicing, these guys could just sightread them...
I need to practice.
Hey, at one point, they were exactly where you are, if you keep going you can do what they are doing! Just gotta practice 40 hrs a day
40 hours a day, :)
It helps if the piece you're sight reading is one you've practiced before. XD
I love how they're so comfortable playing each other's violins and it's like second nature to them at this point since they've known each other so long. I aspire to gain a friend like that. But none of my friends play instruments so that might take a while.
Felt.
I actually have a friend that switches recorders with me. As I bought my new traverse flute she brought hers to our rehearsal and we tested each others instruments. Now I realize how fantastic this is ❤
I know it's been said alot but, Brett just becomes a different person when he's playing... and that's really cute for some reason 😂✨
Edit : thank you so much for all the likes guys. This is the first time that I've received these many. 💕✨
I was 50th like and then it turned to 65...
Eddy and Brett kinda switch personalities its very cute
ikr they switch personalites when playing it's super cute
ITS VERY CUTE💖

Guys, I am so happy to find you! I have had 8 years of violin in Ukraine in 80-s. Obviously, we had no idea who was Ling Ling that times as well as we had little access to knowledge and good live examples. Anyway, after 30 years you inspired me to take my violin out (surprisingly it still sounds) and to start practicing every day (with little progress already). Never in my lifeI could I expect that hard practicing can be such fun))). I also follow Eddy's recommendations on his channel. Thank you guys.
Ling Ling would approve
that is awesome! good luck!
Wow that is cool! Much respect to grown ups who start practicing again! So many people just abandon it. Wish you all the best of luck!
Same here!!! Gave up at 15 (learned for 9 years), picked it up again at 35 after I started watching twoset. I used to hate practice but now I enjoyed it like never before and tried to squeeze time for it after a full day working. Never too late to learn and enjoy music! Keep practicing 😄
I did same for the piano after watching TwoSet.
Is anyone going to mention how much emotion they played with on the harder pieces?? That's more emotion than I think I even have!!
13:48 little does Brett know he’s gonna play this with the SSO in Singapore when they hit 4 million subscribers haha

Oh lmao
cmon i can't be the only one that loves loves loves seeing them show off their skills lol
Exactly
Actually wished they did it more often. I do understand that this
channel is geared to a younger audience who enjoys the goofiness, as
they seek to inspire young folks to PRACTICE (40 hours) their instruments.
i know right.. we enjoy their channel because they are 2 funny goofy violin nerdballs (which needs to be on a t-shirt) but often you get something like this which shows the reason they have a channel in the first place, that even people who have no idea of anything about music, like myself, can enjoy. You don't even need to understand what they are doing to enjoy the reactions.
They're very, very good
12:09 anyone knows this piece hihi
There are so many comments that are like “sometimes I forget that they’re actually professionals” and I’m here like
“HOW DO YALL FORGET THAT?”
right?
Honestly I forget that sometimes. But it’s only because they make everything look so effortless, it gives me a false sense of understanding at what level a professional should be.
My only level of music is fifth grade clarinet. I watch to learn about music and because their raw charisma is utterly charming. Since they’re so casual, I also forget that they’ve played at the White House and massive orchestras.
Basically, for me, they are so amazing that I forget what it means to be a professional musician.

Congrats, iam also learning abrsm piano iam in grade 3 right now i got my first time merit in grade 2 exam my teacher was very happy he still is happy but he doesn't pay much attention to me like he do to other students he just stands behind me and examine me playing grade 3 pieces and walk away with a large breath to other students in my opinion i think he is proud of me that he doesn't need to correct me much on playing the pieces

Lol, where I grew up (Southern California) and in my circle of friends (children of Chinese middle class society where most of the parents were doctors or engineers) we were expected to play all of these before the age of 17, and then go off to medical school to become doctors. Glad you got to go to music school and actually become professional musicians!

Growing up playing some guitar I always heard how impressive it was when people could "play by ear", i.e., hear a melody and play it back, but to me its just as impressive and a hell of a lot more useful to be able to sight-read like this. Its a skill I desperately wish I'd learned. I suppose if you taught me one thing, its that its never to late to start!
Do you know these kinds of videos act as a repertoire catalogue for me and I am so grateful for that?
In case you didn't, you do now.
