I always felt like string players were better at ear training than us other instrumentalists because you are accustomed to listening so carefully on your instrument - no keys or valves to press.

[@christinawalker6356]

Also all orchestra instruments are tuned in the same key, and all of the strings are in perfect 5ths which makes it easy to tune by ear once you're more advanced

[@ryanguerra2024]

It’s so fun when KZbin will recommend you things within something you have no clue about and you see random comments like that and you have no idea who the people are that people fawn over. I came here after watching some tutorial on how to make a sand waterfall for aquariums. Not sure why KZbin wanted me to see this Julliard thing, but I’m glad it was recommended to me because it’s a lovely video.

[@theoverunderthinker]

It seems cool, but not surprising. Even famous people are still people, some are cool, some are less so. Since they have to eat after a concert better to eat with other people who have the same interests (music). Most of the reason that they cannot hang out all the time with everyone who wants is because they are busy so they have to organize their time. It was cool to see Sheku Kanneh Masin getting to eat and have fun! mostly when I see video of him is is pretty focused, whether playing or preparing to play!

Its so interesting to me to hear such a seasoned violinist who has competed at so many international competitions talk about that they're just now learning to play the Beethoven Violin Concerto. I was astonished when I heard L. Biatashvilli state she only learned the Tchaikovsky late in her career. I always have the misconception that prodigies pretty much can play almost anything from like 12.

[@macumbeiro_xx]

This is totally unrelated but I convinced my ex-girlfriend to buy a cello because she said it was a dream of her to learn how to play that instrument since she was a little girl, so I gave her a couple of lessons and she had potential, now that we broke up the cello is collecting dust in a random corner of her apartment, it breaks my heart and sometimes I feel the urge to buy it from her and give it to somebody who would appreciate it, it's not that it's an expensive cello it's like $1,500 but nevertheless it's meant to be played and taken care of like all musical instruments, so if you have an instrument just laying around dust it off and give it another try, or give it way to somebody who will love it, the world will be better because of it :)

[@CaptainSuzySparrow]

I visited my coworker and his wife one day to play their baby a happy birthday song on my ukulele. We got to talking and he asked me if I would like his banjo. I had no idea they had a banjo because he never mentioned him attempting to play any instrument, but he had one in a case collecting dust in their walk in closet, and he just GAVE it to me. He told me all instruments should be appreciated and played by someone. Every instrument has potential and shouldn't be left to collect dust. I now play ukulele and banjo because of his special gift. I keep the banjo on a floor guitar stand right by my nightstand and play often. Forever grateful. I really hope that cello finds a good home.

@@overlokoteli I have been plotting on a way to buy it from her, we are still friends, on one hand I want for her to realize her childhood dream of playing the cello and on the other hand I want to buy it from her and give it away... next time I have $1,500 just laying around I will buy it statue for my yard, and then after that when I find another $1,500 laying around I will buy it from her :)

i’m only a freshman in high school but i looked into Juilliard and I was born and Raised in New York, i’m looking forward to go to that school. (hopefully) i’m a clarinet player and unfortunately it will be hard because of how many clarinet players their are. but i’m hoping for the best!

[@jabuettner123]

ѕimply sarah it’s ok. I know it sucks to audition but if you are prepared you can focus on the music. The thing about nerves is they will make you sound 10 times worse on the day. You say you’re a freshman, pick audition rep now - don’t play it too much, keep it fresh, but make an effort towards making your final product 10 times better than you think you can play it, 10 times more prepared, knowing every single note in your head, even the rests, to the point where you literally cannot mess it up. You will thank yourself.

[@chloeshomo8141]

hey i play clarinet too, currently a sophomore, (not to brag, but i have all-state in a month and i’m very excited) if you have plans for Juilliard, try your best to participate in as many opportunities as you can manage. i think i started doing too much, and then lost my passion just recently. so do a lot, but take breaks, and just appreciate the talent that you have. maybe you never asked for advice but i hope you don’t mind my comment :)

I always dreamed about going to Julliard, but alas, no go. Nice video. One of my favorite musicians of all time studied at Julliard. Kip Winger of "Winger" fame.

[@theoverunderthinker]

The good thing about rhythmic and ear training is that it is going to improve your ability to see a piece of music and hear it in your head (rhythm, direction of melody,etc). that way your expectations of what it will sound like when you play it will be closer to reality and will facilitate better intonation and rhythm when you play. It is hard now because you are not as familiar, but it will serve you well later, so it is time well spent. Good for you for working hard on the things that aren't as fun; future you will thank you!

[@gracie99999]

[@carolvang4904]

Hello! Thank you for the video. I was so curious about Juilliard when I visited New York, but the public was not allowed to see the school. I am a violinist and teacher, so I loved seeing the books on rhythm and how they use the Bach Chorales. I might study these too!

[@jgwmain]

It’s great that you guys are studying Robert Starer. My professor for musicianship had me and my entire class try the rhythmic exercises he wrote and the du-de, du-da-di system. And your playing is beautiful. My advice is to try coordinating where in the violin you want your bow to be instead of having it in the same position. It will improve the quality of the timbre and get a richer sound. I saw a KZbin video of two professional violinists (their channel is TwoSetViolin) auditioning at Curtis Institute of Music and getting special lessons. I hope my advice was helpful and I wish you the best of luck on your musical journey.

[@marydoob]

I saw someone else from the ‘80’s commented about the ear training books being the same. He also was impressed by the cafeteria. Our cafeteria had vending machines with cockroaches, nice step up! We had a terrible time finding practice rooms, I would just go down to the sub basement ( A level) and practice for hours. My dinners were often a “dog” at “Greys Papaya”! Still a blast! Nice vid!
