Whoever doesn't want to be practice buddies with Ray doesn't leave the practice room enough lol

[@danielli7295]

"I love free samples" spoken like a true asian

[@irisce2799]

4:09 "Ah, Shostakovich" with a poop emoji flying across the screen haha XD

[@alexanderhan2819]

Tanhlei shitstakovich lol

[@billace90]

Wow. And those students didn’t recognize Mr. Ray Chen and rejected to practice? Unbelievable!

[@rekzbois9581]

It was staged he took pics with them afterwards

[@peterdeck2696]

@@rekzbois9581 I think the OP was being sarcastic haha

[@liavonazheltanosava8230]

When he smashed that watermelon, I was expecting he would name the pitch :DDD

[@octave11thpianist58]

Smacked* lmao

[@ILikeBirds]

😂

[@AndySaenz]

1:20 That’s cute when he talks to his own violin. 😂🤣

[@twoblink]

How to get to Carnegie Hall... Practice 40 Hours a day!

[@franburns3584]

Holy cow! I'm an old lady (68), and a member of the piano gang. And for sure I would let you use any practice space I have just to listen to your beautiful playing!

[@DanielaBodoh]

Ah, sh...ostakovich!!!!!! 😂 I simply died there 😂

[@esthershin9690]

He’s so sweet! Bringing eclairs!

[@Navyseals3]

4:30 Ray's secret of hairstyling 😧😧

[@datvy1195]

Ohhh so many celebs in this video!!! My favorite Tessa Lark and Julie!!! Awwww how sweet!!!

[@caloriomatheus]

ohh shure... who doesn't want ray chen as a practice buddy haushaushausha

[@anyakurtenkova497]

Your video is lovely! :) So sunny and full of energy. It's 6 something in the morning here in Bulgaria and this is one of the first things I see today. Also: similar experiences when preparing for a concert, only without the walk in the park (case of a hypochondriac singer). I'll be happy to watch more of your videos, keep up the good work.

[@pingu_land]

I wouldn't want Ray Chen to be my practice buddy. He'll literally judge every single note I play. And I'll be like "YEAHHHH NOPE. BYE"

[@wendyshell8679]

Ooooh! This makes me miss NYC, SO MUCH, I cried! I used to go there every year at the end of November, and spend about 2 weeks with my daughter, (who lives there), for her birthday, and cook Thanksgiving for her! And, always, NYC Ballet, The Nutcracker Suite! I miss it so much! There are no words. Love you, Ray!😔❤️🙏🎄🎻🩰

[@Danocaster214]

I thought I was watching this on 1.25x speed but naw that's just Ray.

[@yawenliu1776]

Finally got to hear you live @Carnegie Hall last night! I think you looked really elegant with that suit when you played

[@dangletran3338]

[@liyangau]

Easy, take the train to Carnegie station, it is right next to the train station.

[@innovative_violinist]

I didn't even notice the lack of a chin rest until that guy pointed it out 😂

[@dongmingim]

Probably His masterclass at Julliard.

[@maryannarep]

I've been there 4 times!! You get there by practicing! I usually stay at park Central. Im upset they tore down the Wellington hotel!

[@user-cs2il8uv8w]

Did those people realise that they just REJECT an invitation to be practice buddies with Ray Chen? seriously, he is THE RAY CHEN y'all

[@Hklxu]

I didn't know, that you have to check a violin before a concert. The video was really funny! Please do more videos like this! Thank you!

[@munciyekahir1043]

3:40 omg Tessa Lark hahaha :D

[@frenchpianism]

[@wendyy.8401]

How can they not recognize ray Chen??? If a world class soloist is asking you to be practice buddies, you drop everything you are doing and say yes! Plebs!

[@jj31fr]

They were just acting. They took selfies with Ray later in the video.

[@dongmingim]

I'm looking for his new album since I heard.

[@tanyanwanmimi9026]

[@watchmanling]

What is the bgm at 3:30?

[@SkinoGreeneVu]

You put new strings on a violin before a concert? What's the rationale behind that... are they typically same brand ?

[@SkinoGreeneVu]

Shizuru what about the tuning? If they aren't 'broken in' How do you prevent tune slippage mid concert?

[@Eki_________]
