@@lollycopter Probably wanted owner to become a doctor or lawyer, or doctor of law or maybe medical lawyer but la they have to become a musician. Such disappointment for the whole pack.
Brilliant! For my dog, it's arpeggios. Played or sung, she demonstrates her vocal repertoire at fortissimo as soon as I start. Ignores scales or any other music.
Yep it’s really cool. My dog comes to my bedroom door whenever I do my warm down routine on the trumpet because he knows I’m almost done. I like to jokingly say it’s his favorite song!
My dog definitely was able to recognize the trombone solo from Bolero. At first he would make this high pitched moan when I got to the highest notes. After a while, just playing the first note would set him off. It got to the point where even if I played it very softly down an octave he would recognize the tune and start to hum along.
As a trumpet player I can't help but acknowledge the fact that this guy's fundamentals are flawless! Happy to see the dog appreciates that aspect at least😁👍🏽
Hunting here in Britain uses packs of beagles in which the hounds are controlled using a horn. This command resembles the one known as Doubling the Horn, which is used when the quarry is sighted.
I bet they picked that combination of notes for signaling the chase because that's what got the dogs most worked up. Like how all lullabies sound similar across different cultures.
@@pendlera2959 it's probably also because hunting horns don't have valves which would make them fragile, so as a result usually play the same note repeatedly, like with this opening
This is so friggin' funny. I'm sitting here dying laughing showing it to my daughter and explaining the context. But dude . . . you have no idea what you've done. Now my wife is yelling at me because our cats are freaking out hearing your dogs howl !! We have a dog too . . . he could care less.
@@garry6485 yeah i like it too but i mean every trumpet player has to play and practice it so often (mainly for auditions) that it gets borderline annoying
I took viola lessons for many years from this sweet lady who had a gorgeous black poodle named Winston that always dramatically howled at the top of his lungs when I played a piece in C Major (he was the sweetest and softest dog). My teacher explained to me that many animals (and people) have what is called a “trigger note”, which is a specific tone or noise that sets off many feelings or alarms in someone’s head. Everyone’s perception of sound is different, and some ears can tolerate some noises better than others. For example, some people can handle the THX sound better in D Natural than C# (like me). We associate tones in music to things in real life that correlate with the emotion getting across. The dogs in this video looked just as triggered as Winston would get.
I don't think it has to do with that note (or that specific frequency anyways, when he's playing the scales he lingers on that C# a few times and the dog doesn't react). I'd agree with a different comment which theorizes that the dog anticipates the end of the trumpet solo (which is loud and shrill) and reacts accordingly.
😂😂😂 You were not sorry! You did it twice, and from their reaction, one can tell, you were playing even more of it previously. Your dogs are lovely, and they rule you just the way mine rules me. ❤️
When I got my first dog, Bix, as an adult professional trumpet player; I was insistent to train him NOT to howl when he heard the sound of a trumpet. Bix was pretty good about it EXCEPT when I played Schmyl & Goldenberg. That set him off howling in pain!
My dog that passed away last year was the same way with Eb regardless of the octave it was played in. He was Border Collie & Husky mix. Summertime starting on G as soon as I hit Eb the singing began. I now have a full blooded Husky and he doesn't seem to be bothered by any note so far. I kind of miss the duets.
Don't worry, your dog doesn't hate it. Dogs aren't dumb like we usually think. If dogs don't like something, they'll stay away from it. My dog howls like this when I play the harmonica. His ears even perk up the moment I pick it up.
I had a roommate who had her 8 years old niece at home for a week end. I was listening to Mahler 5 in my room at a point. When I get out, she was there with big eyes saying: you are listening to scary music. Beside that, I had a cat who was very found of Britten's lacrimosa
I would shut myself in an upstairs room so my little dog wouldn’t have to hear me practice the flute, but he would scratch at the door to let him in & sit with me. He loved piano also. Miss him terribly…
@@blackfootindian8258 who spit in your drink dude ? might be yourself considering you're doing the round to be "that guy" on the internet. Why dont you make yourself happy instead of looking to make others miserable huh kid ? might work to fix ya.
When I was a kid, we had a dog that would howl just like this, to certain pieces played at the piano. He'd run up to the piano, get right under it, and howl to his heart's content. He loved Prokofiev sonatas.
Our dachshund despised the clarinet which my daughter played in the school band. He would make all sorts of hound howls. The poor kid would go out to the tool shed to practice!
Ps every time you pet him in this situation, you're not consoling him, you're encouraging him. Petting to dogs is different than touch is to humans. He interprets that as a reward and equates that to 'this howling is a good thing.' Cute doggo and nice vid! 👍🏼
Not necessarily...touch is just as much a comforting tool to dogs and cats as it is to humans. Thats like saying talking to them is a reward; it depends on the dog, whatever else you're doing at the time (laughing tells the dog youre happy with them for instance) and the context. Puppies sleep on top of each other, momma dogs will lick their pups to calm them (and herself) down, thunder jackets are fitted to snugly hold your dog and decrease anxiety, etc. In this instance, if the dog felt encouraged, he wouldn't stop howling, he'd continue and get louder. My dog stopped growling at the mailman because I'd comfort him by talking to and petting him. He'll give a little startled woof now but hasnt growled in...years I think. If he felt rewarded, like I said, he wouldn't have stopped the behavior. Now it CAN be a reward, but you have to train them to see it that way and honestly...easier and less confusion to train them to respond to a clicker, if you're going that route.
Whenever I would play in a minor key or anything by Grieg on my viola, my Labrador mix would always huff, glare at me, and thump her head down in an obvious show of displeasure. If I continued practicing, she would huff, glare even harder, then leave. She was at least okay with major keys and Mozart, thankfully 😁
This is so funny. I used to look after a Visla that would not care if I whistled. But if I whistled the theme tune for Antiques Roadshow, he would go absolutely beserk. These dogs are too intelligent for their own good!
I can't get over how wild this is. I just gotta know how and why he reacts like that? did you condition him somehow with the opening? Poor fella really hates those C#'s
@@chef7734 Yes - it is a written D#. You're correct. But correcting the OP wasn't really right either, since it IS a concert C#. Not trying to argue about it - it's just objectively a C#.
@@chef7734 lol what an argument, hit a C# on the piano and that's what it be, no one cares about the transposed "note" the note that was played on the video was C# or if we want to get REALLY ACCURATE 278 Hz
LOL That made my day. That dog doesn't want to hear a death march! Let's hear his reaction to the opening of the 5th. Maybe he'll look out the window??
One thing is for sure, if Leonard Bernstein was reincarnated into the body of a dog (at some point of the repeated life cycles), that one definitely isn't carrying Lenny's soul.
All my dogs decided to howl along from home when I played some trumpet while teaching a band class from home virtually. My students got a kick out of it. I find that they howl less when I play some flugelhorn.
I had a little Jack Russell who would howl like that anytime I played the blues on my sax....I could play anything else an there would be no reaction, but a blues lick would get him going.....
Perfect. Perfect. Violinist sympathizing with BOTH of you. (The garage can be a very nice place to practice, if you just put in some lights and dress warmly.)
Dogs hear extremely well ... guy sits right next to dog and blow loud tones out. SO nice of you :P If i accidently hit the box with dog treats just the smallest amount, which i can barely hear .... my dog will wake up from deepest slumper evar about 3 rooms awat she will be right next to me in secounds lol.
I once knew a small person who suffered from a fatal psychiatric condition known as Jack Russell Disease, who loved the song "I Get Knocked Down, But I Get Up Again" by Chumbawumba. He would always sing along (and to that song, only - although he liked to sing when the telephone rang, too, if you want to call that a song). The strange thing is that you could state the lyrics in flat, normal speech, and he'd react the same way. Do whatever you like to disguise it, take pains not be "saying it to him", any disguised form of the song at all, and he'd throw his head back and go all micro-wolf.
@@kevinbissinger What about the way I described it sounds like bullshit? And why? I find it strange that you would think you can read that into what I said. I get that you might not like people messing around with words beyond your toleration limits, but there's a long way to go beyond finding someone else's way of expressing themselves irritating (like someone might get irritated if someone refused to use capital letters where appropriate, for instance - doesn't bug me, but I bet it bugs some people just as badly as my "bullshit") to thinking they're lying. I object, Yer Honour. Thanks for giving the song's name. I'll probably forget it again until the next time I'm reminded of this Jack Russell person. (I can tell you some more lies about him. He was a world champion Cobra Killer. He had a known score of 15:2 . Victorious Snake number 2 was his demise. He survived at the vets, but escaped before he was recuperated enough, went hunting, inflamed all the injuries again, and that was it for him. But he would've probably chosen the same path even if he could. I swear to Jesus, the Prophet Whose Name it is not Safe to Mention, and Buddha and Vishnu that this is true. But you're probably going to see right through me again. Perspicacious. I wish I could see the con men coming like that. I'm always getting had.)
Dude yes! My dog also does this but I'm on a piano though. My dog somehow loves scales, arpeggios and fast pieces. She kept singing over and over too following the melody, gosh dogs are the best. So cool!
Trumpets are loud and dogs have stronger hearing than us. Maybe practice in another room than the dogs. That's what I've learned to do as a guitarist/pianist.
