Everyone is saying how similar Keith and Chris look so similar, but can we just talk about how hard Keith worked on this? And how WELL he pulled it off? I have so much respect for brass players already, because the weight of the instrument would already be something I’d struggle with, let alone standing there for hours to practice. But now? It’s just increased tenfold. He went from knowing nothing to being able to serenade us with a beautiful piece in 30 days, which just goes to show that NOTHING is stopping you from achieving your own personal goals. If you wanna learn how to play the guitar, do it! If you wanna learn how to speak Spanish, do it! Learning is how we all come together as people, and the end result is magical ❤️

[@panconmo2059]

[@andreigolovik3047]

Knowing nothing? He was a horn player all through university. Switching between brass instruments is like switching between guitar and bass; the basics and feel are nearly identical

[@CoopMaLoop_Official]

@@andreigolovik3047 Actually at the beginning of the video he expressed that this is the only bass instrument he’s struggled with because it’s differed compared to what he’s played, and it’s why he chose it, because he knew it wouldn’t be easy. It’s not nearly identical, as I’m sure a trombone player wouldn’t be able to just pick up and play a French horn solo in a blink of an eye. Also, please remember it took him 30 days of practice to be able to do what he did, and i really doubt he only practiced for thirty minutes a day. He put in a lot of effort and time to get where he was at the end of the video, so no, it’s not easy. He started from knowing nothing about that specific instrument, and even stated that, and grew to be able to play a beautiful piece in thirty days, and that is a very daunting task. Edit; at 0:59 he even states “I have no idea how to play that thing, it’s got no valves”

[@CoopMaLoop_Official]

@@andreigolovik3047 The time stamp where he talks about it is 0:48 I believe :) it’s the only brass instrument he can’t just pick up and play.

[@isabellechong7841]

fun fact, the trombone actually is one of the *lighter* brass instruments since it's essentially just one big hollow tube. Instruments like the tuba or baritone tend to be heavier bc a) there's more pipe to them and b) the valves (in my experience) tend to add on extra weight. also if you're lazy (although it's poor posture to do so and it's bad for your airflow if you're practicing big sound) you can sort of cross your legs and rest the bell on your knee when practicing to improve endurance

I know. I’ve been playing violin for three years myself and I don’t know if it’s because I’m learning through a public school curriculum or if I’m just bad, but I can barely do vibrato.

[@raeofsunshine17]

@@adeviantsponge7328 No you're not bad, you're learning! I didn't start learning vibrato for a few years myself and it took another few years to perfect, and I was in private lessons. It will come if you persist, I promise! Sometimes it can be harder or take longer to hone technique in group settings. Private lessons, if you can afford it, can really give that one on one coaching, but if you keep trying and practicing regardless, you'll get there, I promise. It's worth it. Best of luck. ❤

“I realize I’m starting to sound real sexual with what I’m saying” You never realize how dirty the terminology for learning an instrument is until you’re an adult.

Seriously, same, this video was amazing! And Keith is great. I really love his energy and his voice, whether he's calm or hyped up, he always gives off pleasant vibes

[@ironjellly]

I hope Keith knows how inspirational he is to young kids in band and theater. Arts programs are always less popular than athletics and scholarly programs in academics, so they often get looked over and sometimes completely crumble all together. Keith showing his love for music like this just makes me really hopeful for the younger people watching 💖

[@wombat4583]

Rather than less popular I think it's important to consider what's needed to get started. Outside of a school setting, athletics are often cheap to get involved with (though some require more equipment than others), whereas with music there's the cost of the instrument and for most guidance is needed to fix mistakes and beginner tips before they become bad habits.

[@ironjellly]

I never had to purchase an instrument while in band. Never spent a single cent. I was very, very lucky that my school had the funding to buy their own instruments. This isn't the case everywhere, obviously, which is why it's important to fund these programs just as much as others.

[@wombat4583]

It's not so much having to purchase things for school. My point was that interest often starts outside of school. If you want to continue after school you'll need to purchase it. If you have a strong interest you're probably considering it before the opportunity arises in school. Sports are something that's often inclusive or easy to start. Music can have harder point of entries. Of course I do have a problem with how some schools are obsessed with sports scholarships but that's a different problem.

[@piersoncomposer]

@@wombat4583 The one thing to consider though is that the majority of HS and younger athletes don't continue sports beyond HS either. There is certainly a failing with music education to help equip kids to become lifelong musicians but that is not unique to the arts. Our society definitely idolizes sports in ways that we don't see in other areas. Sports also do cost a ton of money, especially if you want to get good at it (just like anything). But from a purely school-education standpoint, there is a similar cost between sports and arts for the casual learner. You are definitely right that interests start outside of school though. Most artistic friends I know were supported in that and encouraged by family members, same with sports students. Overall, what I'd like to see more of is holistic education and experiences with young people; knowing they can play sports while also engage in arts (and that BOTH can continue after formal schooling).
