Played this for my grade K, 1, and 2 music classes. They LOVED it. I like how the teacher says a little about the instrument, but not too much. We especially loved the viola song! Thanks
"Contrabass is the most important instrument, and we would want you to play it".... what she ment is, "Please someone play it, no one plays that instrument.. AAAAH" Its weird that drums are so popular but bass is not, Im not that informed in music but bass sounds like a support instrument like drums, mby ppl just like to punch stuff
@@Zzsillykitty_Vi There's a great piece for the Cello called Mozart's 5'th Violin Concerto arranged for Violoncello:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hvJ3_c3C-O8.html
I’ve never played a classical instrument 🎻 but I dream that I do. For me the viola and cello sound the most pleasing to me. I also like the sound of the uncommon 5 string viola dubbed the chin cello.
Lindsey Butcher 1:48 Another neat thing is that if you decide to play the Cello this year, is that you get one at home, & one at school this way there's no need to carry it back & fourth w/ that heavy case on the bus.
You can also tune a Double Bass in Fifths (C1, G1, D2, A2, plus high E3 for 5 String Models and even so F0 for 6 String Models) cause my Bass tutor Joel Quarrinton said Fifths tuning will have much better intonation with the rest of the string section.
Lindsey Butcher There's a new kind of string family called the New String Family by Dr Hutchins. The instruments are named by the sound they produce: Treble, Soprano, Mezzo, Alto, Tenor, Baritone, Small Bass, Big Contrabass.
1:48 The other great thing about that the Cello is that you get one at home, & the other one at School this way you don't have to use that Cello case to carry it.
Great comparison. My 4th grader came home with these 4 on a list saying he wanted to do orchestra this year and had to pick one. I had a loose familiarity with each, but this really helped us get clarity and him to decide. :)
@@lindseybutcher8159 You can also tune a Double Bass in Fifths an Octave below the Cello cause according to wikipedia it'll have better intonation. The new violin family has 5 more instruments the Treble which is an Octave above Violin, Soprano Violin which is an Octave above Viola, Tenor Violin which is an Octave below Violin, Small Bass which is 2 Octaves below the Violin, and Subcontrabass which is 3 Octaves below the Violin. The 5 String Contrabass in Fifths aka 5Bass is really a gift I'll like.
@UCtJEi8xNLX2GnjWXGkgWFnQ I'm getting a 5 String Cello which has a High E String added, because the High E String allows me to play Violin pieces down an Octave right off the bat.
I'm going to try to teach myself the violin during this pandemic! I've always wanted to play a stringed instrument (guitar), and I will get a guitar too... but doing a musical inventory I realize that the violin just really makes me smile whenever it pops up, whether that be in Baroque or bluegrass or epic music. So I'd love to learn that one (though, what I may THINK is violin may actually be viola or another one of these 4, I'm not sure). Can't wait for it to arrive, I ordered a cheaper one to see if I can even play it lol.
Just saying u may need a teacher just help you with things you may not realize your doing wrong if it was piano it's easy to be self taught. Best of luck I hope you be grate musician one day but most importantly don't give up!!!!! P. S what did you get?
What about that sound that’s like a violin, but it’s used on longer notes and it’s rally high pitched... i don’t know what it’s called. You can hear it in songs like Ready As I’ll Ever Be Non-Stop Hamilton Or in suspense music
Feel free to use the video. What is mentioned is dated information for the terms in the buildings I taught in when the video was made, but the actual instrument info is the same.
This was actually the video that taught me the difference between a violin and a viola. If I had to choose a string instrument, it would be either one of these two. If I had to pick just one out of both of these, it would be the violin. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd rather play an instrument that gets more attention. In this case, the violin gets more attention than the viola. Besides, I like a lot of the higher sounds the best. Even though the cello and double bass are so unique due to the much lower sounds, they would be really heavy to carry, especially if you are just taking lessons and are not planning to do any performances with them.
