@@henryn5445 exactly. Then you don't have to worry about your sheet music or your music stand. You also can count and know when to come in if your playing with an orchestra, I would imagine. I know I was a vocalist, and while contemporary music is easier, I knew the lyrics and all of the verses of close to a thousand songs. It's easier to just memorize them than sightread lyrics, and of course you can't perform with sheet music at all as a vocalist.
@@IorekBear92 Well, I'm not going to argue with you about it. I'm sure different singing venues have different criteria, and sometimes the audience doesn't see you, or if you are singing while playing piano it would be easy. I could have used sheet music when recording in the studio, but I sang in choir, as a lead in theater, and with a microphone in front of a band, and in all of those places you really couldn't have a music stand or sheet music.
Because they are so casual and have a bunch of fun with playing music and running the channel, I sometimes forget that these guys are legit professionals and in no way are the pieces they play *easy.* This is one of the videos where all their hard work and experience really shine through. It's one of those things that looks like you can do it so you try it and you suck because of that difference in skill. I wish there was a second subscribe button :'(
@A.H Well I obviously know that they *are* professionals. I don't literally forget it and become surprised whenever they mention it. It's just that they don't show it off all the time. It's fun and casual and they don't constantly try to show off their skill just for the sake of showing off. This is one of their videos that show the more technical side of playing the violin and I just wanted to show my appreciation for their craft. As someone who doesn't play the violin or any other instrument, it's cool to see all that goes into playing the violin on a professional level and what that exactly means.
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.
sometimes i forget the reason why the piece sounds so robust, beautiful and effortless is bc the musicians are talented and hardworking little shits this also makes me realise that i am a talentless piece of trash that has not practiced
@@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.
That fact that Brett said that he doesn’t know the Mendelssohn piece is so cool , little does he know , he will be playing it as a huge performance in a few years 😂
Of course he knows the Mendelssohn, every violin player learns it. Its almost always learned after Bruch as the "entry" into higher level violin repetoire
To TwoSetViolin: Have you tried the ABRSM UK Jazz test???? Part of this test is for the musician to improvise where there are literally blank sections in the music, to fill in the empty bars with your own melody while paying in the existing key with the existing chords or chord progression.
@@zurich5607 I play a ton of jazz and I think its cringe when classical musicians try it because it sounds so awkward. Still appreciate their effort and the fact that they gave it a chance though.
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 🙃
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!
It's crazy how they'll play these gorgeous pieces and put their heart and soul into it but the second they finish they're just like "cool" and move on to the next one 💀
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 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 ❤
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.
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. 💕✨
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.

Just a note from one of your fellow Ling Ling wannabes. Let me throw things into perspective: I’m an introvert, I’ve got stress problems, and I’m always under pressure to be the next Ling Ling. I’m one of the newer fans; I only found you guys this year. But from the moment I started watching your videos, you guys have inspired me in ways that are more than just practice. You’ve taught me about commitment, and with the TwoSet fandom, I’ve found so many relatable things that I feel at home. 😊 Brett and Eddy, in my mind, you’ve gone from just two random peeps I watch to being my favorite senpais. You guys seriously are the best. Watching your videos makes me laugh like crazy, and in a way, it makes my anxiety issues melt away. I’ve actually got some motivation to stop pretending to practice social distancing with my piano now too. You probably won’t see this, but thanks so much for all you do for your fans. And I’d like to thank the rest of the TwoSet community too, for making the best comments and the most hilarious memes. Love you! 😁 - A 13 year old Ling Ling wannabe ❤️

Eddy and Brett: Flying through grades in a matter of minutes Me: stares at my pile of repertoire that I’ve been working on for the past year with 40 hours of practice every day
Ikr , Brett played my piece so well but he escaped the hard part , actually maybe it's just hard for me , this is why I cannot be ling ling cause I'm still at grade 6 after like two years *sigh* shouldn't have stopped violin just for my major exam
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.
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
Teacher: “I bet you all are going somewhere spectacular once summer vacation starts in June!” Me and my friends who have ABRSM examinations in June: **anxious laugh**
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!
When you realise they just sightread beyond diploma level music and made it look kind of easy. Damn, they were right... they do practice 40 hours a day. I need to sort my life out 😂 there are so many memes that I forgot that 2 set r INCREDIBLY skilled musicians.
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 😄
Wow TwoSet’s sightreading skills are on point!! I am 11 years old, still going through grade 6 XDDD, I play the Handel Sonata one...which I still sound like crap after 5 months of practicing...ugghhhhhh...I love you TwoSet!! You are the best!!
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!
Where I grew up (northern cal) we were expected to pass all the levels with gold certificates and also get music scholarships to schools where we also don’t learn music (I tried real hard but only got a half scholarship)
@@moongonemadmode1067 the leclair or vivaldi allegro? either way i feel you cos im on grade 5 too and after every practice my arms feel like dropping off
Everyone else : Ah imma take the ABRSM, one grade a year (which is very very difficult, and probably means 40 hours practise everyday) Brett and Eddy : "Let's try and see how far we can go" *aces the whole test from grade one to getting the license in 17 minutes*
uh, i tend to take two terms per test, and i barely practice(i'm getting to higher grades now so its a bit harder but like, if you have the training its not that hard)
Not really. They pretty much always play at their professional level nearly every video. At this point, it’s harder to forget they’re skilled-gotta flex to motivate the future Ling-lings of the music world my dude 🌎.
I wish this video was a little longer. We can listen to your violin playing all day. Wishful thinking: another livestream or maybe a violin duet performance to motivate all the people specially that we are in a pandemic situation. Pretty please. :) Edit: OMG. This is the first time I got this number of likes. Thank you so much, guys. I thought no one reads my comments. >...
This is pure unadulterated pleasure listening to and watching these musicians perform. Brett and Eddy are wonderful violinists with a gorgeous tone. Their charm and humor is icing on the cake.
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 think this list seems great. These are the pieces played by myself over the years for my exams. For the grades I skipped, please add in for me. For some others I forgot their names.

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
Dude i remember taking these exams was a nightmare when i was a kid because i live in turkey so english is not my mother tongue and you expect a kid to play and talk to a some british dude that looks like gandalf in a different language was pure pain and mine wasnt that hard i took the level 4 on flute as a 5th grader and i remember looking to my friends that took 7 on piano and thinked they are either a prodigy or mad dumb cuz it was a suffering
i was 13 when i took my 1st ABRSM, and yup that British dude does look lika gandalf 🤣. i was dead nervous until i can even understand each note in front of me

No, really?! And I thought I'd comment how much I love it every time I hear Bach. Different strokes indeed. What kind of music or which composers do you like/prefer?

That fact that Brett said that he doesn’t know the Mendelssohn piece is so cool , little does he know , he will be playing it as a huge performance in a few years 😂

It was surely sarcastic. Mendelssohn violin concerto is one of the biggest violin concertos ever.
Of course he knows the Mendelssohn, every violin player learns it. Its almost always learned after Bruch as the "entry" into higher level violin repetoire
@@lik7953 I know it was just sarcasm 🙃
To TwoSetViolin: Have you tried the ABRSM UK Jazz test???? Part of this test is for the musician to improvise where there are literally blank sections in the music, to fill in the empty bars with your own melody while paying in the existing key with the existing chords or chord progression.
Jazz solos are really fun once you get used to them. I’d like to see two set do something with jazz/jazz improv for sure
You can just kill me now thank you.
@@zurich5607 I play a ton of jazz and I think its cringe when classical musicians try it because it sounds so awkward. Still appreciate their effort and the fact that they gave it a chance though.
British jazz musicians are on another level the past few years like right off the top of my head tho i can only think of alfa mist XD

Eddy casually borrowing Brett's violin just lengthened my life span
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

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 🙃

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*
It's crazy how they'll play these gorgeous pieces and put their heart and soul into it but the second they finish they're just like "cool" and move on to the next one 💀
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.
Brett has now become the opposite of Alma, he turns flats to naturals.
More people need to see this comment lmfao
I hope i will see this meme on subreddit today 🤲🏻
Cause he's a NATURAL
I was the 100th like now more people sees this
XD good one! Like this comment EVERYBODY!!! Twoset needs to see this! XD
The way they would look impressed after the other nailed a particularly hard passage is endearing. Get you some friends like that haha
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 ❤

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.
@@Alex-is8hk
...and they also look down on themselves.
They have a lot of self-deprecating humor... But also, so many of their videos are them dicking around
They need this kind of video to remind us that THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL.

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

Just a note from one of your fellow Ling Ling wannabes. Let me throw things into perspective: I’m an introvert, I’ve got stress problems, and I’m always under pressure to be the next Ling Ling. I’m one of the newer fans; I only found you guys this year. But from the moment I started watching your videos, you guys have inspired me in ways that are more than just practice. You’ve taught me about commitment, and with the TwoSet fandom, I’ve found so many relatable things that I feel at home. 😊 Brett and Eddy, in my mind, you’ve gone from just two random peeps I watch to being my favorite senpais. You guys seriously are the best. Watching your videos makes me laugh like crazy, and in a way, it makes my anxiety issues melt away. I’ve actually got some motivation to stop pretending to practice social distancing with my piano now too. You probably won’t see this, but thanks so much for all you do for your fans. And I’d like to thank the rest of the TwoSet community too, for making the best comments and the most hilarious memes. Love you! 😁

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

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 😄

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.

Rock as in music genre or geology's thing? 😂
fitria ahsani if you were referring to the music, you would say “rock,” not “a rock.” So.. geology.

I literally came from that video, how did you know? :')
@@Frewster me too xD
Dude i remember taking these exams was a nightmare when i was a kid because i live in turkey so english is not my mother tongue and you expect a kid to play and talk to a some british dude that looks like gandalf in a different language was pure pain and mine wasnt that hard i took the level 4 on flute as a 5th grader and i remember looking to my friends that took 7 on piano and thinked they are either a prodigy or mad dumb cuz it was a suffering
living in turkey sucks. you're still luckier than me i've been playing upper advanced pieces since i was 9 but my family never took me to an exam.
i was 13 when i took my 1st ABRSM, and yup that British dude does look lika gandalf 🤣. i was dead nervous until i can even understand each note in front of me
'british dude that looks like gandalf' TOO REAL. im from India and i still remember the first exam i took, i was already so nervous and on top of that i was NOT expecting to play for some old dude whose accent was so thick i couldnt even understand what he was saying lmao
GANDALF HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

NEW TWOSET VID!
Nobody will ever read this but I just have to say that I don‘t like listening to Bach. But when Eddy played that fuge...that was somehow touching. Now I can‘t stop listening to this piece. Thank you, Eddy, and congratz for actually bringing me to finally enjoy something by Bach :‘)
No, really?! And I thought I'd comment how much I love it every time I hear Bach. Different strokes indeed. What kind of music or which composers do you like/prefer?
I didn't read it!
I love Bach too, but I think I know what you mean...
If you like piano at all, try Glenn Gould playing Bach Goldberg variations. If I could only listen to one piece of music the rest of my life it would be this.
I am proud to announce, for the first time I was able to follow the notes while you were playing
On the first piece
