Becoming The Fastest Violist In The World! (1-10-60 Minutes Practice Challenge)

[@donovanalvarez-angeles4295]

As a viola playing in high school this motivates me to just practice more and more seeing what can truly be done on a viola if I continue to grow and get better

[@eao3482]

Well said!

[@elissahunt]

It sounds more like a bumblebee on viola. Violin is more like a honeybee.

[@E_FoxSnowspirit]

I love how relatable the constant swing between confidence and complete self doubt is

[@-SteampunkTraveler-]

If you can play it slowly...you can play it quickly!

[@8Phoenix8]

It's true. Just new techniques once you go fast. :)

[@E_FoxSnowspirit]

Presumably, you could do that with any piece that you chose. I mean now there are either kind of almost sacrilegious that it's a slow piece. It should never be played at speed.

[@TragoudistrosMPH]

6:34 being new to viola vs violin squabbles (from woodwinds), i can't help but hear that tempo and marvel at how neither instrument bursts into flames and becomes firewood from friction. Wow...

[@cinchonine]

That's one fat but agile bumble bee

[@audrey829sj8]

This is my first time listen to Flight of the Bumblebee on viola, you'll break the record in no time 🤣

[@Chesemiser]

Something compels me to say this was a completely flawless rendition of this piece, think it might have been the smiles that confirmed the accuracy and grandeur that was your rendition

[@lpldl]

5:37 James turned immediately to Brett Yang by doing a terrified little scream.

[@-SteampunkTraveler-]

💀😭 Fr tho

[@euphxrz]

Omg yess😂

[@alessandrorossi1294]

The best rendition of Flight of the Bumblebees that I have ever heard! All hail the king!

[@michael_koski]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who always forgets to do dynamics! It usually takes me a couple of play-throughs before I add them in, and then I feel like I'm learning a whole new piece. Any tips? Merry Christmas! Ana

[@gabriellapenfold4714]

Practice in chunks of measures. My teacher stops me immediately. It’s not play the whole piece until it’s fine and then go back and change mistakes -it’s more- practice a few measure until it’s absolutely perfect and move on. The practice is most efficient this way!!❤

[@E_FoxSnowspirit]

You know you have skills when lh pizz is a technique you use as a backup

[@Cloxxki]

For a total meme, it's actually an amazing piece. To get so much "nature" from a 4-string instrument.

[@E_FoxSnowspirit]

Yeah- it really does sound exactly like a bee. I wouldn't need the title to be able to interpret it's emotion

[@theonlyeble]

Screams in sautille

[@E_FoxSnowspirit]

* cries in chromatics *

[@deadmanswife3625]

First! Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year to you Viola King

[@TragoudistrosMPH]

It's encouraging to see struggle to satisfaction! 😁

[@matattack5751]

I think the next cover should be of "just the two of us"

[@RascalOutdoors]

I hope you have happy holidays!!

[@themusiccovenant]

Excellent

[@paulieboy6644]

How tall are you, btw? That viola looks huge on your shoulder!

[@user-pz6hs6wi6f]

Virtuoso 🥰🥰

[@cristiansp5046]

Bro, we need to listen at you playing the noteblock universe score from Scott Buckley I need to know how the viola exists in this ost

[@camab7672]

No bueno quiero que este señor sea mi padre

[@Hannahorse715]

NOPE SORRY!!!!!! David Garett already has that award from the Guiness Book of World Records :) you can find the video on KZbin

[@ViolaKing]

Yeah but I’m just gonna count him as a different category bc I’ll do it on viola

[@Hannahorse715]
