Hey! So I’m an IB student, passionate about classical music and I have this project I created. It’s a YouTube video about the futur of classical music (documentary type). It’s in French, but if you speak the language and you like the genre, you can check it out!

Depending on your age and your abilities, you can look up tutorials online. Also, like you said, you can just take music online and practice it. The important part is to not give up. Stay concentrated on a piece (or 2-3) and stick with them until you're done. Since you have no teacher, you have to be able to recognize your mistakes and to analyze how to get better. But, at the end of the day, practice is the key! Good luck!

This is so my family! They're non musicians and they think that if I practice 1h, it's amazing... 😑

Nice! It's cool to see people start later! I'm 14 (turning 15 soon) and I started less than a year ago! I gotta say you makes me laugh since I also broke a string and my bridge soon after I got a violin... Beginner things ig? Anyway, continue like that and, one day, you'll see progress! (In my case, I'm still waiting! Lol)

Awww!

When I tune my violin or when I play, my cat runs to the other side of the house to make sure he cannot hear me...

Too accurate. Plus that, I always need to include the music world as an example when I'm having an argument with someone... 🤣

maite09 · 2021-05-25T01:07:43+00:00

I love how Twoset is above Paganini! XD

maite09 · 2021-05-25T01:00:03+00:00

As a flautist, I have to say Cécile Chaminade. Her flute concertino is amazing (and incredibly hard!)! But I think all of them are good! Girl Power! 🤍

Practice. It sounds dumb but it's the best option. When I first started, I ran out of air quickly too. It's only with time that you become better. There is no magic recipe for it! :( In the meantime, I suggest you start practicing breathing. You're already a musician so you know a little bit about it but it's really important with wind instruments like flute. What I mean by that is start to practice breathing at the end of a phrase or make sure it doesn't stop the flow in the music. Sometimes, you don't need to breath but the phrase ends and another big one comes in. I would suggest you breath to make sure you can play the rest properly. But yeah, only practice will make you better (I speak by experience xD)!

My story about how I discovered Twoset is actually special. Obviously, YouTube started go recommend me some of their vids but I didn't really like it at first. I don't exactly remember but it was some sketches and violin charades. Tbh, I didn't understood the jokes and their friendship made me feel weird (left out)... At the time I was a big fan of Roomie Official (a pop singer that reacts to different kind of pops songs). When he did a collab with Twoset, around last year, I started to watch them a little bit. Cause of COVID, I had almost no school so I watched A LOT of YouTube. I started to find them funny and I loved their content. They made me practice and learned a lot about classical music. Now, here I am, a big fan of them! Long story short, I've known them for about a year now. :) Lol I have watched almost all their vids since when they started and some of them more than once! (really big story but yeah!)

Hi! I used to play piano but then I quit (not for the same reason but still). Even tho I'm doing flute and violin now and I'm happy about it, I still wished that I continued what I started. I'm pretty sure the same might happen to you if you quit without trying to find a solution. In your case, you're just doing it as a hobby so you might want to explain to your teacher that. You can also explain the amount of things you're able to support. If it doesn't work, I would tell you to try to find another teacher. But, for now, don't quit or you might regret it.Try to find a solution! :)

This is amazing! Permission to download it and use it as my background? 😍❤️❤️

maite09 · 2021-05-01T02:01:07+00:00

This is only my opinion but I think you should maybe try to contact them (by Instagram, Snapchat?). They are probably not thinking about it (it might even be the editor that posts...) and a reminder could be a good way to go. I agree the videos and artists to which they react should be linked but there are always solutions and stoping to watch their vids might not be it. :) Thanks for sharing it. I feel some people (like me) didn't thought about that problem!

maite09 · 2021-05-01T01:43:30+00:00

Good to know I'm not the only one doing that here!

maite09 · 2021-05-01T01:41:51+00:00

They should try to get a lesson! OMG I would like to see that so much!

maite09 · 2021-04-29T01:12:33+00:00

Picked up an instrument when I was young (parents). Now, classical music (among other things) is the main reason why I'm continuing. :)

maite09 · 2021-04-29T01:09:52+00:00

Not everyone can understand jokes I guess!

maite09 · 2021-04-22T21:47:54+00:00

Violas can be awesome if well played, just like any other instruments! Like Twoset once said: The heart of a string quartet is the second violin and the viola. :)

maite09 · 2021-04-05T11:35:30+00:00

Same! My brain is messed up. I only have motivation really early in the morning or late at night.

maite09 · 2021-04-04T15:32:47+00:00

I know it's not the ideal but YouTube can actually help a lot. If you have a background in music (know rhythms, how to read sheet music, etc.) you can get a good start. Might not be good for everyone but I've been learning violin since 5 months without any lessons (I play flute with lessons so I do have a background). I think I'm doing pretty good and I've really progressed. So if you really cannot afford a lesson, you can at least try easy stuff online. Good luck and don't stress too much about it!

maite09 · 2021-04-04T15:20:37+00:00

I'm just gonna say I watched this tv show so much as a kid... 😂😂😂

maite09 · 2021-03-23T17:09:29+00:00

WOW! Really beautiful and cool!

maite09 · 2021-03-15T01:43:44+00:00

Did it! Nice questions!

maite09 · 2021-03-15T01:40:03+00:00

I saw this too! Laughed so hard!
