    When I was 17, I started learning the violin. I was 3rd chair in high school orchestra and then headed off to college. I kept bothering my roommates when I played in my dorm room. People also told me "you can't get good at the violin because you started so late in life." So I stopped playing and I always regretted it. Now I am 41 and my kid is 8 and is learning the violin, piano and guitar. A few months ago he showed me a video called "Why Violin is the Hardest Instrument" and introduced me to Twoset! And I bought myself a violin and now I practice with my kid every day. I feel like my younger self again - like I got back a part of me I thought I'd lost. Big thanks to you two, Brett and Eddy!
    UPDATE 10/6/2021 - Thank you so much for all your comments, it's so uplifting to hear all your stories of starting "late!" A year after picking up violin again (after a 20 year hiatus) I still play violin with my kid, and playing music is a part of my daily life. We now have 2 guitars, a bass guitar, mandolin, cello, viola, keyboard, harmonica, snare drum , bodhran, doumbek -- and more! -- in the house and we've have had a ball just making music (and lots of noise). What's interesting is that even after 20 years of NOT playing violin, I play SO MUCH BETTER, faster and longer NOW than I did when I stopped. Pieces I couldn't play 20 years ago are easier to learn now because I play "for fun" instead of trying to be perfect. I am learning Irish and bluegrass fiddle, and I am on Suzuki violin book 5 and my kid is on Suzuki violin book 2! Don't make my mistake -- don't let anyone tell you that you "can't" do something, even if you feel like you are too old or not talented enough. Your older self will thank you later!

      @@pzykhe Personally, I really do that the idea of 'prodigy' is a myth. It is fundamentally really about practise. A person can be a 'prodigy' but not be successful in the long-term. All the term means is that the person, especially a young child, is an early starter rather than a late bloomer, and has demonstrated promising POTENTIAL. This is ONLY POTENTIAL, not actual success, and does not show much at all about long-term success.
      I urge everyone to stop being so caught up by the term 'prodigy'.

    I feel like that's generally what happens when you study something in higher education, especially something like music.. Your technical bits gets better but school kills the confidence/ease with which we once did things.. because now you've learnt the technicalities behind everything, your brain overanalyses it and when you play, subconsciously, you play less freely because of all the technical things you've learnt.
    idk if this even makes sense, but it's what happened to me with creative writing.. I became so focused on the technical parts of English and plot devices and things like that, and ended up killing the stream of ideas that used to come so easily..

Maybe not in the traditional way, but in the way they motivate and inspire the future (and current) generations of musicians. In the future, people will point to TwoSet as the reason they kept going or even the reason they started. I hope they can feel it. And I hope they know that they are far from failures and that what they do means so much.

I don't come from a musical or even anything art background, I grew up in an environment where most people I know are doing Science or Business. Before TwoSet, I don't really listen to much classical music, which was a shame because I have found so many awesome pieces that have now became my favorite. I came to an orchestra for the first time a few months ago and it was beautiful. TwoSet really truly have made classical music became more relevant to a wider range of audience in the young generation. I appreciate and am thankful for what they have been doing. I still have not started playing any instrument, but recently, I have been entertaining thoughts like maybe I could start playing, I even look up information online like where to get lessons, etc.

    They say that they had potential but plateaued and became TH-camrs instead… but honestly that was probably the best outcome for them.
    They single-handedly brought classical music into the online mainstream.
    They made classical musicianship seem fun, while still inspiring young musicians to keeping learning and practicing.
    Ask any musician on TH-cam who they think of when they think of classical music and TwoSetViolin will surely come up.
    They gained traction and now they probably make a decent amount of money off TH-cam and selling merch.
    All that is one hell of an achievement considering that we live in the TikTok generation.
    If they became elite professional soloists or something, I would wager that most of us watching would not know who they are, and Brett and Eddy’s lives would probably we a lot more stressful.

    I just wanted to put this out, these guys are probably one of the most influential people in the field of classical music right now. Sure good composers and good players get people interested in classical music, but I feel like these these guys serve as a common anchor point that musicians and just people who appreciate classical music can bond together. Plus they are on TH-cam which makes their contributions much more influential.

      I feel like the internet has been able to cause a rebirth in interest in classical instruments bc it shows that you can play more than classical songs on them

    Guys, you give yourselves much less credit than you deserve. As someone who just picked violin, i genuinely think your childhood performances were good. None of them were horrible, because you visibly put all your effort in the limits of your ability at that time, and mistakes are part of being better musicians.
    Comparing ourselves to others is unavoidable, and being a prodigy or top class soloist is sadly not attainable for everyone, but you're never a failure. You may not have realised your dream carreers but you're opening more youth's minds to classical music and actually making it enjoyable and getting it out of the elitist aspect, especially in countries where musical training is not usual or available. And that is impressive in itself.
    I know saying all that may not erase some regret of the future that could have been for you two, but we are thankful you went up this path. Stay strong !

    To be honest, I feel like when you were young you didn't compare yourself to others and just went for it, no matter how it sounded. You were present and confident. As you got older, your technical skills got better but you somehow lost confidence or let life tell you you're not good enough. I understand why but do try and be easier on yourselves. After all, you play because you love it so why let a 7 year old prodigy video destroy your confidence? To me it's a matter of how you perceive yourselves more than how "bad" you actually are. So just keep going and know that you're good enough just the way you are, and you'll grow with time, in your own time.

    I wish Brett & Eddy could see themselves through their fans eyes! They are truly amazing musicians. I listen to music to feel something, emotions.... not to hear x notes per second :) Brett and Eddy have mastered connecting with their audience, better than anyone!

    I could totally relate to Eddy when he said that he lost his Confidence in playing... i guess thats how adolescence teaches us. I can tell that i became more and more cautious with everything, not only my playing

      I‘m a late beginner (started playing the violin at 15 years old, now I‘m 22) and I hate that I did never experience a time where I wasn‘t cautious; I started being hesitant right away because I wasn‘t a child anymore when I began learning my instrument :(
