To TRULY master your instrument you have to play hot cross buns

[@gracesnyder5769]

hot cross buns is the way to go

[@musicalsnowflake846]

I can play hot cross buns and Mary had a little lamb on almost a dozen instruments (in order of best to worst, bass clarinet, Bb clarinet, tenor sax, ukulele, guitar, piano, voice, ocarina, recorder, violin, and I have done it before on marimba and vibraphone.). The only instruments on that list that I would say I play at a intermediate level (possibly high intermediate but definitely not professional) are bass clarinet, tenor sax, Bb clarinet, and ukulele. Ones I’d say I’m more of a beginner at I’d guitars, piano, and voice. The other ones I just know how to play either just hot cross buns and Mary had I little lamb or maybe a little more than that (marimba and vibraphone I could play more and I have, I’m just not a percussionist so I basically just treat it the same as piano in my hand you just play it with mallets). I really want to learn all woodwind instruments, along with some brass instruments, and the instruments I said I’m more a beginner level at, and I also really really want to learn violin.

[@novatheenby8779]

I was thinking hot cross buns when she said B, A, and G! I know those aren’t the notes for hot cross buns on the flute, but I could totally still play it on recorder to this day 😂

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

I play both the concert flute and violin, and I can tell you unequivocally that violin is a much harder instrument to learn. For starters, the violin has no frets. It takes muscle control, proper finger placement and an ear for each note to be played. I’ve been playing the violin for about five years now, and I only play it in the first two octaves. But since I only play lyrical tunes and hymns, all I need to know are the first two octaves. 😉 And after five years...I still can’t do a true wrist/arm vibrato. The best I can do is a fake finger vibrato. 😖 🎻 🎶

This was really fun to watch, especially since I play both flute (since age 12) and violin (since age 21). Even though I was so much older when I started violin, I would still say that it is much harder to learn than flute! But once you're adept at either instrument, both present their own unique challenges.

[@Molly-rp1kg]

I’m 14 and started violin when i was much younger. It is hard to make a nice sound and have good intonation as a beginner. I started piano a few months ago and got to abrsm grade 3 standard in 4 months. With piano you don’t have the difficulty of playing out of tune and making a ‘wispy’ sound like on violin. You can play music that sounds nice immediately. However, playing with 2 hands at once and reading two clefs at the same time is hard. I feel like all instruments have their own difficulties so its hard to compare. Great video, thanks!

[@yesntnono4172]

I’m learning piano and I’ve been a saxophonist for three years so my main problem is the coordination between hands and the two clef thing

[@ely7150]

lol I've been playing both for 13-14 years. And I can proudly say... Violin is harder

[@wilmab4120]

I definately think that you can have more talent or just have an easier time learning one instument than another. When I was younger I used to play the clarinet and I got a very good sound even at the first lesson. About two years ago I decided that I wanted to learn to play the violin and at least in the beginning it was so much harder than clarinet even though my teacher said that I sounded better than most beginners(it still sounded terrifying and my cat got so scared he wouldn't come into my room). But I guess violin is harder for beginners because there's so much to do at the same time, hold the bow correctly and straight, keep the other hand's posture, play in tune and syncronize the bowing with the other hand etc. I'm just happy that I started with clarinet because I would have given up so quickly if I started violin as a 10 year old😂.

I play both violin and flute. I would say flute is harder to start but easier to perfect and violin is easier to start but wayyyyyy harder to perfect

[@lizzagrace4630]

why would you say its harder to start to play the flute?? As a violin player I can pick up a flute and make a sound and play some tunes without ever having lessons, but I don't think I could have ever done that with a violin when I first started, intonation seems to be more difficult and making a nice sound obvs (so scratchy hahahah). Just curious?

[@rosiemeade7612]

Lizza Grace yes I totally agree with you. What I meant was for the average person, it is harder to make a single note on flute (where you can actually hear it) where as you can easily pick up a violin and bow it and it will make a sound. However once you can blow into flute it is a whole lot easier as violin is very technically harder

[@lizzagrace4630]

@@rosiemeade7612 ahhh I see, thanks!!

[@heathermcdougall2399]

Flute is much easier than the violin, and the oboe is much harder than the flute. The bassoon is somewhere in-between the flute and oboe.Cello is pretty difficult too.

[@BlackRaven87]

I play both as well. Started the flute in 5th grade and picked up the violin at 19. I would agree with you the flute is easier to perfect and the violin is harder to perfect. I also learned the violin on my own, no lessons.

[@matthewluck9077]

I knew this video was doomed from the moment I read the title 😂. It’s nothing against flute players, but violin is just WAY harder to learn than flute. Of course they each have their own intricacies that take a lifetime to develop, but starting out, violin and strings are just much more complex to figure out. Flute bonus: lower lever flute players sound way better than lower level violin players haha.

[@LoreCatan]

I agree that the violin is harder to learn [Twoset has thoroughly informed me how complex the violin can really be], however, in the defense of the flutes, to become a professional flutist you must have a serious set of lungs on you. I'd also say that the position of the flute is more uncomfortable long term than the violin. In conclusion, flutes may be easier to learn, but they bring a lot of pain to make up for it too.

[@crunchyycarrot359]

bruh, holding a violin is so uncomfortable, I've been playing for 7 years and I still get back pain lol

[@LoreCatan]

@@crunchyycarrot359 well than the lung thing still stands. I wonder if flutists get faint after playing.

[@crunchyycarrot359]

@@LoreCatan yeah I get where you're coming from but there are also many more hard things about the violin too. Violinists still have to worry about bow speed, bow pressure, hand-eye coordination, tuning, hitting the right string, shifting and more. Also, intonation is extremely hard as there are no frets like on guitar to guide you to the notes, so even with the tiniest variance of your fingers, the note will either be sharp or flat and overall, not sound good. Playing the violin requires you to coordinate and balance your entire body to get a decent sound. The spacing between the notes gets different as you work your way up the fingerboard to the higher notes too. It's ALSO different for every violin.

[@crunchyycarrot359]

@Lyla Laycre same

[@gcg8187]

@@LoreCatan I never feel faint anymore, after playing flute for a year. But after 9 years of playing, my shoulder get so sore if my posture isnt perfect. And I permanently have minor nerve impingment on my left hand index finger where I hold the weight of the flute. So I have to take frequent practice breaks when it feels tingly. This wouldn't happen if I played violin lol i dont get how piano players can sit there for so long

[@peteralexander3034]

Katie, gotta say, for 2 people who have little experience in each others instruments, that was amazingly great to listen too. The flute duo at the start in particular was magical! Looks like the violin is definitely much harder to learn though. 2 things to point out though, your boyfriend certainly has a future as a flautist for sure. For you, keep up the practice and I no doubt you will probably become really good at the violin in the future as well, there is certainly potential their and it did seem at least half natural for you even though you've never played before I might add :)
