Going to Music University (Expectations Vs. Reality) 

Makaios im dying 😂

Ye bro

the asian mom IS the teacher 🤯

Huh...?! 😡

@Tra My Dinh why are you angry?

You don't use much square roots as a piano tuner. Logarithms though...

Le Subtil sell piano tuning is based around various roots of 2

E=mc²

Equal temperaments aha

Not questioning it but didn’t know genji turned to a life of piano tuning after the omnic crisis

What is that tune

Because he took loan to go to Uni. Duh....

Am I Slandic?

@@amjan cXDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDddd

Sigurboði Grétarsson what was he singing?

well… the reality is pretty much like your expectations. It is only math and mechanics in the first year.

@@nilab499 yes

The expectation was me at 8 yrs... The reality is me now, realizing that my childhood dream of being an astrophysicist will never ever ever come to fruition

I wanted to be an astrophysicist before I realized that you have to do math 😂

@Clarinetmaster Ishkindofsortofmaybe I mean... It's in the name. *Calculus* based physics.

Pramita Bhattacharya 😂

Ta tiki taa, ta tiki taa, ta tiki takita takita tah, ta titi takita takita takita titi tah!

I am a South Indian and I approve.

So true. As a Indian singer and dancer, it is harder than Western rhythym

I’m Pakistani (please don’t kill me) and I love tikka masala as well! 😂😂

I thought he was going to say something like 40 hours= 1 day 🤷

square root of b squared - 4ac over 2a?

Ben Koh you forgot -b plus/minus before the square root

@@Ben-ob4to Lol wrong it's -b +- √b²-4ac/2a

It's minus b plus/minus root b squared minus 4ac over 2a

Even practicing in the bathroom, that’s dedication at the core!

Jungkookie in our profiles

Why is your name salt

It's not.....

Wth is ur username😂 also jungkooooook!❤️💜 And yeha im north indian, very accurate👌🏻

@@sunbee3665 well, North Indians don't know shit:)

Plot twist: that's north indian

@@adichew plot twist: that's bharatnatyam style,, thus applicable through India.

1000th like lmao hope that made your day :)

"Thakha dhima thakha dhom, Thaiyum thadh thak thaiyum tam " was what they were trying to say lmao

Someone is hungry 😂😂

LOL🤣

Oh my god me too! I was srsly wheezing, and he nailed the rhythm *sarcastic* 😂

*Oh yeah yeah*

Omg same😂

E too I was laughing a lot that my stomach hurled!!

Oh, those goofy little musicians, they don't even know... :D

Baguette Gott Ah yes... complex numbers

Jay technically is right. there is no square root of a negative number. and it is proven impossible. imaginary numbers are phony.

@@botdog370 It's math, everything's made up in some way. Yes, there's no square root of a negative number within the realm of real numbers, in those restraints it's impossible. Within the complex numbers it's perfectly possible. The question with things like that in maths is not whether a concept is "real or made up", but whether it's usefull for solving problems. And complex numbers certainly are.

Baguette Gott yeah i was saying it in that regard. but that’s very much true, thank you.

Part of the thing is when you go to university you are with a bunch of other people who have talent or potential in the same area - if you went to a normal school (i.e. not a specific sports or music or posh one) you were probably a 'big fish' in a relatively small 'pond', and now you're a 'small fish'. But try and see it as an opportunity to learn from others and maybe have some friendly competition.

1 year later how is you

@@pmz558 I ended up getting tendinitis from practicing too much and I couldn’t play the rest of the year. I got help from a Taubman teacher and then I auditioned to move to playing jazz piano. Somehow I got accepted even though I only started learning jazz two weeks before the audition, and I’ve loved it ever since ❤️

@@craftylouie oh nooo that's terrible 🤧 I hope you can excel the class even though you got tendritis... I'll be cheering for you through this comment ✌💕

I was wondering how I passed the admission exam, I was wondering why people say I'm good if I feel so mediocre. But now I understand that maybe (as it happens to many other musicians) I'll never be good enough for me. So, chill, you'll do great, just get things done and try to ignore your negative thoughts about yourself.

TheVic9999 mom? ):

I'm already a master of my instrument the whistle.

I'm actually going to do that right now... :P (but not because of your comment... sorry) :D

Don't tell me what to do

no u

Qwifinn The Awesome SAME AHAHA

Qwifinn The Awesome me toO XD

Same damn

HAHA AND MEEEEE

Samee

I feel for you! Hope you're doing great! I love realism and the old romantic styles of art - I can't tell you how much I love to see modern painters preserving those principles. Keep it up!

lmao

🤣🤣🤣

@Student Carla Ortega hehe

IKR???

Ikrr😂

STRAYA MATE

Yvonne Tsau apparently they went to uni at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia

Neel Parmar ikr thy are so talented

Yvonne Tsau My brother went to QUT

Ikr, I wanna go there

TheLegendaryUnitato i'm felling it bro, i know what you mean D:

Tbh just asking why are y'all learning that???????no offense but I just thought..."learning significance and culture of African drums"....it's understandable if it's a culture class but....

You William It was a "culture class" on the history and influence of different groups of people and time periods on music. The class was actually interesting.

I've heard quite a few african drums, and I disagree about them all sounding the same.

Don’t be disrespecting my ancestors!!! .-. They’re mostly the same beats (like all music), but each beat goes with a song, dance, belief, or tribe. It’s unique if you actually listen to real Africans from different tribes. There’s not all much of the same

Underrated comment lol

Cat Lover I’m still a little bit jealous of anyone with a Moscow or St Petersburg Conservatory music education - except I wouldn’t want to live in Russia 🇷🇺!!!!

In Soviet Russia the worst were the compulsory courses on Marxism, Leninism, history of the only party, speeches of Lenin and whoever was in charge right now... And you had to demonstrate your loyalty to the cause every single day. This is why people actually chose to study stuff like mathematics or physics, because over there they were less strict about THAT part.

@@carrieheidbrier1925 Russia is gorgeous youll love it.

Emerald Broker Well I would like to see several Russian cities some day, but I have no plans to go there for now!

I guess great success needs great sacrifice, it seems to work exactly the same with their ballerina institutions in Russia and in NY. They literally dedicate their life to do that job (like I guess they probably cannot date anyone, nor hang out with friends in the evening) but I mean, the school invest their time in them securing a place for them, so I guess it's only logical that the school expects to be able to count on their dancers for the time they can dance.

Me in January: Me: Oh boy! I can't wait to learn music theory! Finally everything will make sense! Theory teacher: We're gonna go over the first 5 notes of a C major scale for three weeks and then I'm gonna keep testing you over everything you don't know until you magically learn it instead of just teaching it to you. Then we're gonna do first and second species counterpoint, and then I'm gonna teach you about intervals, and then we're gonna do part writing and figured bass, and oh by the way your final is a composition that you have a week to write and you have to prove to me that you understand music. Me: please no... Aural Theory Teacher: I'm the head of the music department and I'm gonna teach you at lightning speed because that's the kind of person I am. [Side note: She doesn't just have a standing desk, she has a standing desk on a treadmill.] I know some of you can't even read sheet music yet, but we're gonna start testing you on dictation and sight-singing! And keep testing you on dictation and sight-singing! And maybe just barely teach you how to hear some intervals, but definitely not how to identify notes by ear, because we're just too busy doing dictation and sight singing! Me: Is there anything I can do to get better at this? Teacher: No! Piano teacher: yeah just do this thing online and then towards the end of the semester I'll have you do some other stuff for me (that will be harder for you because you don't know all your scales by memory) Me: Well...that doesn't sound too bad... Online Thing: You're gonna play 30 measures of just C at 40 BPM, and then halfway through the semester you're gonna jump to playing full fast pieces even though you've only been playing C up until this point Me: Ok, at least vocal stuff shouldn't be too bad. I've got some hard ones, but I've also got a bunch of songs I know really well. Vocal teacher: For your final I want you to sing the Latin piece that you got two weeks ago and have only just now memorized through hours yelling in the practice rooms, and the German piece that you overlooked because it was really stupid hard and you only memorized the notes! Me: You're sure? Not the classic rock? not the broadway? not the Italian? not the Japanese? Those two? Teacher: Yes Me: Mumbles the right notes in nonsense German and somehow still gets an A for the class And that's just the music classes, lol

@@Sours56 While it sounds terrifying and I totally feel you... I wonder how you even got into music university? Where I am from (germany) to get into musich university you have to be able to write down simple rhythms and melodies they play to you. To be accepted as a compositions major you have to play the piano and an orchestra instrument (I guess one of them can be at a basic level) and you definitely are tested in your sheet reading ability. What do your entrance exams look like, I really wonder! Unfortunately I never applied for music university, although I had years of training in all that theory and dictation stuff. But I am a terrible performer. I can play in combos or orchestra, but me in front of a commitee - I even start doubting my tuning abilities 😔.

There are lots of online things to help with music theory, there's also this app for android called "perfect ear" that practices intervals and stuff

@@najkazu lol same in architecture, we had to design a whole building first semester while taking 3 basic theory classes, like then why are you even here for? to watch us suffer? let's just teach ourselves shall we?

Oh, I'm in my first year of college and my Comp Skills class made us write 4 different pieces throughout the semester and made use a bunch of 20th century music techniques. I'm happy with my courses besides piano skills which is literally hard for no reason

Ikr?? It's actually very easy, you just have to multiple a negative with a positive.

@@luisesophiejakobi2976 thats not how square roots work but ok

@@riblja_kita2488 if that's wrong, could you tell me a video where it gets explained right? because that's how I learned it in school and if it's wrong, I would want to learn the right way.

@@luisesophiejakobi2976 of course, when you square root a number you find out what number times ITSELF equals that number. So if you multiply a positive and negative it isnt the same since the numbers are different

@@riblja_kita2488 thanks

I still need this "piece" explained to me...

Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns OH MY GOSH I found out about that piece about two weeks ago and now this. I just wanna forget about it :(

even though i'm a Satie enthusiast, i FIND myself practicing 4'33 by john cage 40 hours daily, by staring into space and doing nothing at all. but hey !! i'm practicing, better than Lang Lang, who only practices 34 hours a day

Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns f&&&&*54321 I need 5 f

Any piece ever written surpasses all the works of Satie.

It's called conservatory (often conservatoire) in English, too. In the US, however, conservatories are typically just another department within a larger university and rarely stand alone schools.

I go to conservatory in Europe, and it's honestly amazing. At first I also thought some of the classes were useless but now I find them really helpful

The best conservatorio/university for composition in Argentina is in the Universidad Católica Argentina. It was founded by Ginastera and has kept a great program and library. It's a 5 year program with 5 year long theology courses. I'm an apostate.

@@8LyJu8 I think you forgot UNA and UNLP...

@@jasminpustaiova9304 what conservatory you attend? I would like to know more about your experience.

448?

@@dishwasherdetergent3366 reference to the global pitch warming vid, i guess: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UCAOkP2BatM.html

Twoset is lucky, that they're really loved. Nobody gets as defensive and butthurt like Indians.

Auri the Cellist This is literally my high school, every aural lesson, we listen to some random african or chinese piece

Many classes ARE like that...

it's a satire. You have to attend to a bunch of useless classes.

They're really only useless if you let them, though. There's a lot to gain from stepping outside of comfort zones.

they are not useless on their own, and you can still gain something from it as an instrument player but the reality is that you really want to practice as much as you can to succeed in orchestras/job auditions because the competition is absurdly brutal.

W.A. Mozart Good one...

Last time I was this late, Mozart had used the time to actually proofread his stupid comment.

W.A. Mozart wtf is a viola

Schwallex _ why that's very polite of you. Edit= -_-

Kathryn Arinduque something better than a violin

No God please no! Noooooooooo!! On second thought...NOOOO😁😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol no way fan fiction makes me puke

why do i want this to happen like what

Celestial Piano Sage HI

Mavis Kurta Lol hi

Celestial Piano Sage :D

Ender 01 ikr!!! 😆

QUICK MATHS

Gustav Mahler good talk, dad

Same

Being seduced by applause and depressed by failure _is_ a path to success. It's a simple algorithm really

Okay. Don't go university then.

In England, after age of 16, you choose your own A-Levels (usually 3 subjects) . I chose Music, Computer Science and Maths.

i love that brett says chicken tikka masala lol!!! so funny

As an indian, IM DEAD AT THISSSS

Padma Sabnis well don't be its all for fun...

Right ? What's your problem? Offensive? Lol you know what I find offensive? People who don't enjoy comedy. It's a wonderful tool for overcoming obstacles like racism. Your just a weak Ass person looking to be offended. And Indian food and rhythm are both great and wild to people who aren't accustomed to it. So yeah I'm certain that you are just looking to be offended. Well I'm down to offend you. Lol you're weak and sad. And totally not an intelligent member of the human race if you're upset because of an obvious fun bit of wordplay. I guess what I'm saying is lol you are less than human. And it's certainly not because of your rich and wonderful heritage. It's just you

Exactly, Thank you. Your reply gets 8/10 - Too much "LOL".

Asian audiences on this channel are just as good if not better at pen twirling, and non-Asians don’t care about pen twirling🤣🤣

ATTRACTIVE

Erik Nystrom chill

George Frideric Handel 🤓 Not so useful for musicians, but very important in physics, harmonic functions can be written as exponential functions with i in the argument. Im good in math but not so good in counting. ( Einstein vs Fritz Kreisler)

you know they knew it was a joke lol right

TheWildDefender Yes of course! By the way I suggested to Eddy and Brett to make a video regarding the anecdote when Albert Einstein (who was actually a pretty good violinist) and Fritz Kreisler played together. When Einstein missed the beat, Fritz Kreisler said: Herr Professor, Können Sie nicht rechnen? I guess Eddy and Brett forgot about it .

Are you in University? Because there are some more general ways to explain how complex numbers work than i² = -1 Also this subject is so fucking important for too much stuff lol. Coming from an Engineer student (Control and Automation)

A=415 :)
