I Pranked PRO Violin Teachers by Pretending To Be a Beginner

[@10data10]

I loved the gag but also liked the way that the teachers tried to really help you. And that one teacher that realized you were fixing your intonation was really listening to you play.

[@magic131]

She was great...I'd learn the violin from her anyday

[@YearofShakespeare]

Yeah I was thinking you were way too in tune. It must be hard to play badly when you have years of good habits

[@mikeSGman]

Yup. Was a great observation.

[@flipgsp]

@@YearofShakespeare Ya Spanish is my first language and years ago I took a Spanish class in college for an easy credit. I had to fake like I didn't know Spanish the whole semester. The teacher didn't fall for it, and I feel like she purposely tortured me all semester because if it😂 She would give me this evil look all the time like "I know you're faking it🧐" 😂 Because I had no clue how to be bad at Spanish. No matter how hard I tried to suck, I was too good 😂 Acting isn't one of my skill sets either.

[@xavierpoes4985]

@@magic131 I'd learn anything from her. She is so patient.

[@logpogger9506]

I really like how Amy is saying things like ‘it’s like a car suspension’ because she knows he’s a mechanic. That’s actually helps when you have something like a muscle memory to learn something. It’s like the karate kid

[@Netaction]

She was happy to have an intelligent student who understood the underlying mechanical basics.

[@neildutoit5177]

This is a key life skill. Being able to figure out what other people understand, and then explain new things to them using analogies to those things. I've seen so many business pitches fail because the presenter could only use analogies that they understood and had prepared before or used before, not that the audience would understand. This woman nailed it. She didn't prepare that. She payed attention, during the meeting, to figure out her audience, and adapted her content accordingly, on the fly.

[@mindlessmeat4055]

I tutor people for a side job and I try to relate things to real life stuff.

Not every artist could be a good teacher. Not every teacher can teach in a flexible way to meet the differences of students. Finding those teachers who shine like star is invaluable work! Good Job!

[@YearofShakespeare]

Diego Gurisatti is my violin teacher for 2 years now. He is a great man and brilliant teacher 🙌🏼.I really recommend him 🙏🏼

[@samuelschmidt3263]

In my opinion the blonde teacher was really great. Because she not just said “Oh yeah and do this because it is how it is” she was like “Do it this way because of the vibrato what you learn later” or “Do it that way because of the physical laws”

[@brianpage7569]

Well, they are very pre scripted to make money on their channels..This same video has been faked thousands of times by thousands of channels..Pretty sad people believe these are even 0.069 % real

[@RobLandes]

Hey Brian, while it’s true many prank channels are scripted, and that sucks, these are all 100% real, and I don’t know how to prove that to you other than to tell you to contact the teachers directly and ask them if this was a setup. If you can think of a better way to prove these are authentic, I’m all ears.

[@lellort3040]

They actually look pretty natural. I guess he is saying that the violin teachers community seems to have a very positive mood and a real teaching vocation. I think finding another awesome violing player in online class can't be offensive in any way

[@tclanjtopsom4846]

This is just a way to try and big note yourself, if you aren't good enough get attention without overused "pranks" I suggest you give up.

[@tclanjtopsom4846]

It doesn't really matter if they are real or not, every second video on utube is a variation of this theme.

Rob Landes, I'm not sure if you know this but Established Titles is a SCAM. Establish titles sells you a piece of land that is so small that it cannot be registered as an actual piece of bought land. Established titles is the only one who will recognize you as a Lord/Lady because the land was bought via a website that is not actually partnered with the country of the land. Hope you find this helpful.

[@JetStoneGD]

Established titles has been going on a sponsorship spree so their company can look official and trusted

[@barfbaggaming7664]

Yea and literally every KZbinr I watch is sponsored by them it honestly annoying at this point. But websites like this can’t be trusted. I think in 2020 is when they started to hugely advertise around Christmas time. And the sad things is that it works.

[@MrJdsenior]

There are so many teachers with "my life sucks" written all over their faces when you do this. Their faces and timing on the reveal (the musical one) is always fun to watch. "OK, what's going on here?" That is kind of THE question, isn't it? :-) I liked that the dude took the pranking so well and actually enjoyed and questioned the stunt. Man, if these teachers can put up with that and stay on track, and they did, they are good for anything. I actually wouldn't be surprised if most of them have seen worse, in the musical portion, anyway.

[@abealrine1177]

Cool video. I like how you are trying to add something to the "pretending to be a beginner" genre. If this finds you, here are some video ideas I would love to see. - Mute who can only respond with their violin. (You can give them a heads up or not when hiring them) - "Pretending to be a Beginner But I'm in Love with My Violin", Explain to them how you might be hurting your violin and caress it or even kiss it. You could even pronounce your love to it, but sometime outrageous would be interesting. - Star student who explains that they are having an "off day" and suddenly "feels it", revealing their ability after a few less successful attempts. (You could set this up with saying you went to online music school or have been told you are amazing by your wife) - Insecure violinist. (E.g. They think all their notes are screechy and their intonation is off.) But in reality they are perfect, and at the end they play really well (After they've been given a confidence boost from the instructor). - Play with a quicker tempo and when they ask you to slow down, slooowww dooowwwn. (Play Goldilocks with the instructor, giving them some explanation regarding your tempo) Also, if you are interesting you could change your explanation for why you're having a lesson. It doesn't need to be that believable, most people won't question it too hard/ forget about after a while. E.g. I want to play a wedding processional song in order to marry my violin or I plan to serenade my wife in front of all our friends, I just want to make sure I get everything perfect. What are the goals that these ideas are trying to achieve? Retain the component of learning the violin and have an impactful reveal. These are just ideas, you can take them into consideration, alter them, or discard them. If others have an ideas or variations of the ones posted here, I would love to hear them!

[@RobLandes]

This is great brainstorming, thanks for taking the time to write it up! I’ve already got another idea in this vein that makes me fall over with laughter, so I hope you can see it in March!
