We Try Teaching Complete Beginners to Play Violin in 1 Hour 

She did a wonderful job! I started playing when I was her age and it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I hope this is just the beginning of her journey with music! ❤️

Decades from now these two students can show their own children this video. What a memorable beginning.

I'm so happy for you and your daughter. What a special start to learn the violin 😊 Good luck in the future!

She did awesome!

She did great! And what a great experience for her. Hope she enjoyed it and wants to keep on learning :)

❤i wish Catherine lots of FUN with her violin

She did great! I’m glad she decided to take lessons :) Thanks for the update.

Keep the fire of interest burning! Great potential for her!

What a lovely, talented girl ❤ All the best for you and all the family!!!

She really channeled her nervoucitement to do a great job!

The pure bread classical one and... the other one 😂

“My bias can be Mozart and Jimin at the same time.” - Eddy

That is sadly my problem and it's all because of Eddy. (not really sad at all. I've found Jimin to be inspiring:)

​@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia pure BRETT classical, you mean 😉

Brett's teacher vibes are so wholesome

i literally said this to a beginner student today LOL

I just can't with Brett interacting with kids, he's such a natural at it ! He knows when to be serious, when to be silly, how to put himself to their level of understanding. Just... if he ever becomes a dad, he'll be an amazing one. 🥲

@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia totally!!! 😭😭😭 His potential future kid(s) are so lucky! Always when he interacts with kids I melt!

I know he says he doesnt want kids but he would make a good dad!

I always get nore natural teacher vibes from Brett, whenever they explain things to anyone (audience, their friends...) Eddy is a skilled musician, but he uses more musician-centric terms all the time, and isn't able to break things down into layman pieces. I don't know if it's his subconscious need to flex, or if it's just harder for him to verbalize his thoughts in general.

​@@wondercotonI think Eddy can verbalize well, but needs only more experience in teaching kids. Or maybe his personality is little bit more suitable for teaching teen/adult students

lol Love this!

Lol...my first teacher never had taught violin in his life.

My violin teacher is a full-time teacher, for different age groups and levels, but I'm learning more on my own than in the lessons lol. She showed me the fingerings once, handed me the bow and expected me to immediately sightread nursery rhymes.

Yikes! Any way you can find a different teacher?@@Shirafune161

I mean, every teacher needs to start somewhere, right? Someone's going to be their first student, for better or for worse 😂

me me meeee!!

Yes please!

For real! Loving this! ❤❤❤❤

yes. I volunteer as tribute

😂😂😂 I'm a grown 40 year old woman but somehow feel the same...

For real.😊

omg so true

I'm actually about to cry he's so adorable 😭

I wish I had Brett as my teacher 🥲 He is so positive and cute!

it's so adorable

I can't with this one❤

This is a great pedagogical technique, and one they use a lot in their videos. Often what appears to us to us as pure comedy is actively teaching something. Exaggerated imitations of common mistakes, the ones where they demonstrate the different kinds of students or different styles of famous soloists, the critiques of actors playing violinists in TV and films--they're using these strategies to draw our attention to things. Brett and Eddy demonstrated an understanding, very early on, that people learn best when they don't realize they are learning. As a self-taught adult I have probably passively learned more from them than any other resource--especially since they cover a lot of "unwritten curriculum" stuff that is not covered in formal lessons or books but is picked up through experience, over years of simply playing. This is why it is hard to know whether to describe TwoSet as violinists, a comedy duo, or edutubers, because they are very much equally all three of these things. Though they may not think of themselves as the latter two, I definitely see it. Their chemistry echoes that of the great comedy duos, and their innovation and experimentation is exactly the kind of thing that made people like Bill Nye and the Green brothers special. ...sorry I kind of ran away with that lol.

At least they will be happy i get a free violin:)

TRUEEE I got so nervous when playing in front of human beings

Just imagine your audience naked??

They will be super excited and proud to see you play regardless if they say so.

Here are more classes from them, followed by a class thet a worldclass soloist giving to Brett: '4 Levels of Violin Masterclass (Ft. Maxim Vengerov)'

I was thinking the same thing. Brett is a very good teacher, no doubt about that, but this little girl seems to be a natural. Hope she can keep playing with her parents' encouragement, I have a feeling she could progress quite quickly.

and she immediately use fully her bow for a first lesson

​@alyssachan4330 Though about that too, she understood how to use it in no time.

I thought so too! I know kids learn quickly but I was a bit suspicious at first if she was really a beginner. They both did so well!

@@LittleDreamer1412 Her parents left a comment and apparently she's been watching TwoSet for years so learned a lot about the violin just watching their videos. But that's just theory, even if you know what the proper posture and bow hold are, doing it in real life is another story. She did really well for a first time !

Please please😊

Oh yes, I loved the 'learning an instrument in 1 hour' series.

“daddy” material? sus.

Brett is just a natural, I swear he's done that his entire life. He knows to put himself to their level and joke in order to get them more relaxed. A joy to watch. 😊

@@MissTwoSetEncyclopediaSo true!

@@WhoDis-se2uqbro

@@bred007 im sowwy 🥺

I would have loved to have a father half as caring as these two...

@@MissTwoSetEncyclopediaso, if I’ve done the maths properly, Twoset is 4 x the caring? Or wait, is that they are each 1/4 more caring… I’m definitely not arithmetically gifted.

For real.​@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia

Easy when you're just big kids yourself 😏

Well, Sinwin's music shop gave the violins, but yes, it was a lovely moment!

It's a beautiful academy. BeautySet Violin.

You know what ? That is a VERY good idea, I would love to see that. It would really show that it's never too late to start. 😊

They’re great with kids because they ARE kids. Music keeps you young at heart.

Eddy has a teaching video series 8 years back. They both had experiense in teaching during their conservatory years.

One of their videos mentioned Brett getting his first student when he was 15yo and the child was about 5yo. It was his next door neighbour.

I'm giving you all the praise of the world. I'm sorry you teacher is not the best. Keep it up, you can do it ! 🤗

Are you able to change teachers maybe? I just got a new teacher because the old one left and their teaching styles are totally different. Wishing my old one back tbh but maybe it would help you?

@@LittleDreamer1412 I made a mistake of paying for the full course up front, unfortunately. I was thinking of completing it and then working with a different teacher. The current teacher is not too bad, her other students seem to be doing well (unless they're teaching themselves in their spare time, like me) and she's very encouraging, we're just not very compatible.
