Grand G never said it was limited to kids. A prodigy is someone who is naturally or unusually good at something. You can’t practice to be a prodigy, you are usually born as one. Edit: to clarify, you don’t have to be born as a prodigy, you can become one later in life, but you can’t practice to be a prodigy like this person is saying.

"Adults learn faster, but they hit a plateau really quickly"-So true. I think for many adults it's a self-imposed plateau. They pick up violin quicker than children because they know what the violin should sound like. But then they get frustrated and hit a plateau because they know what the violin should sound like! Half the battle is in your mind!

I've always been like that. I'm really good right out of the gate and with a little practice, even in a week people think I've been doing it for over a year or two. Then I hit a plateau and decide if I want to put in more effort or not. By that time, I usually find that it's not for me or achieved what I set out to do. By comparison of the video, I was already doing vibrato and writing my own songs in just a month what takes beginners a year, but after that, I got stuck and decided it wasn't for me anymore.

I'm a self taught pianist and the thing I've noticed is that self taught players tend to learn by playing pieces they like which often means you're "running before you can walk". On the one hand it's good because you're learning through exploration and don't get bored playing really basic pieces, but on the other hand you might not pick up the fundamentals of the instrument and the theory, and can develop bad habits.

I wonder if some adult beginners progress faster without a teacher but with videos because they don't know what is considered difficult and just learn what interests them. This could lead to gaps that need to be filled in later but may be more natural (at least for some people).

@UrBoyJuan i’m complete agree, my first piece was fur elise and i legitimately played the full piece in about 5 months from complete begginer. it wasn’t perfect but looking back at videos it was definitely an average performance. I didn’t care about learning techniques or what was too difficult but just did whatever i felt like. This is why im kinda against formal standardized teaching because it underestimates what we can grasp when we’re completely new. I’m a jazz pianist now, and i can’t imagine where i’d be if i had started playing very cookie cutter pieces with the usual beginner practices.

one of the world class piano players learned what is considered by many the hardest piece in a week. Her response was that "no one told her it was hard". Of course some aspects of learning a hard piece are factual but there is definitely an edge to psyching yourself out on hard pieces I think. Even a piece above someones level is still learnable, just more practice overall.

psa: it is never too late to start an instrument! I started playing viola when I was 13, which seems early in comparison to the adults in the video, but still meant that I was around 5 years behind my peers. My parents discouraged it because they thought it would be too much to catch up to. However, I think this actually helped me in the long run, because I was more passionate, and so didn't become apathetic or quit like a lot of other kids. I'm proud to say, after two years, I'm now at relatively the same level as the kids my age who have been playing 7+ years. I'm even doing my first concerto competition this year!

closely observe how pros do it and try to emulate the movement, you can also look up tutorials. The key is, as with everything else, practice. Once you understand how the motion is supposed to go, your wrist and finger muscles need to get used to the motion, so you have to practice it a lot to feel comfortable with it. It will be awkward and uncomfortable at first, but do it enough and a good vibrato will gradually start to form. Also remember, and keep reminding yourself, that you need to relax your wrist. You can't wobble your wrist if it's stiff. It's not something you will learn in passing, you really gotta focus on learning it.

I was lucky to stumble onto TwoSet from my very first week and your videos have not only taught me a lot of music, it's always makes me want to go practice again. Anyway I just wanted to say thanks for all the love for adult beginners.

In all my old music classes, I was taught that the best way to learn is through learning and playing a song. Never have I been taught the basics of how to hold an instrument and read sheet music for longer than one lesson and the rest is already like 10 sheet of song for a performance in a few months. I learned best that way and I find it better if there are certain songs you want to play specifically because after a while of doing that, you memorise where each note is on the instrument. A teacher doesn’t do much but instruct you and you can easily look at KZread videos for help. Within a year I learned violin and flute flawlessly with not much help from teachers and all just self-taught. Learning a piece of music is the best way to train your brain compared to mindlessly repeating notes. It helps but it’s better to do it via song so you memorise a lot more within a short amount of time, at least it was for me. Isn’t he end, it depends on how your brain is wired and what works best for you.

When I started with guitar, I started with ukulele. But my ukulele broke and the luthier took months to fix it (and also sent it back to me with an unsatisfactory fix twice). So the guitar shop that was helping was so embarrassed that the luthier he vouched for bungled it so bad, he sold be a "sample" Tanglewood which was identical to their top of the line model but without electronics for insanely cheap. Still one of the nicest guitars I have ever played. Almost Taylor level. So I learned Romanza. And then I got another deal on a guitar, this time a cheap one, which I customized with a hand rubbed finish, old bone nut and saddle and nice strings. All solid mahogany, with small visual defect on the back. For a hundred bucks usd. I then started learning the Koyunbaba suite. Took me a while, and it was quite a journey, but damn, did I learn a lot through that. The trick is, when you can pick your own damn music, you're much more motivated to actually practice. I started with cello when I was a kid and every piece was horrible to play. Oh well. Then I got older and started with The Swan instead and moved over to Thais Meditation. Fuck that Yamaha method bullshit. Play with passion. Learn with passion.

I am self taught also: and it’s incredibly funny to hear how you guys learned it in a professional manner because it’s so different. I did the same as the people in the videos. I just picked songs I wanted to play and jumped right into it and I learned while I played.

Ah, watching them watching her play and progress is so unbelievably encouraging, and exciting in a weird way! Please do more videos like this! I want to learn an instrument and have someone be this excited at my progress!

I feel like she progressed faster than they expected because she's an adult, so her coordination is better. As someone who started playing at 6 years old, I was also surprised when some of my friends picked up the violin later than me, and advanced much quicker. Though, people who start young definitely get an enormous head start with learning an instrument, your initial progress can often be quicker if your an adult. Also, i don't know the person in the video, but it is possible that she has learned another instrument before the violin. That is an enormous factor in how quickly you can progress. I experienced the same thing when I started learning guitar after 12 years of violin.

I started learning violin when i was 11 and then I left it. Then i picked it up again at 17, and then left again due to my teacher being a little harsh (and me focusing on guitars). Now, after a music degree in guitar performance and 4 years of being a professional musicians, i'm turning 28 next Tuesday and I have restarted violin, again. This time no tutor like i had earlier (bc cant afford), but really hoping to pull it longer this time. Thank you for this video.

That's so kind of you to ask. ❤️ I've actually gotten better! I am taking all the resources on the internet to get my technique and posture correct. Slowly corrected the way I sit (I play indian carnatic violin) and learnt to shift from first position to second position! There are still intonation issues but I'm now able to express melodic ideas! I'm so damn happy I recently posted a song on my insta, finally after years, first violin video. I was very insecure before but now I think I'm able to make music happen. :') it's still going good! I sit with the violin at least half an hour a day!

@@ayanjoemusic that is so inspiring to hear. It sounds like you are truly motivated. I, too, am on a music journey in an effort to play the piano exceptionally.

Hoping to take some classes, too, but that all financially depends. Anyway, I’m so glad for you. After watching a few “how to play violin” videos, I’ve grown a respect for those who’ve taken on the challenge. I’m sure you’re aware of Anne Sofie Mutter- she’s inspired me as well. On the off-change you haven’t heard of her, please look her up. She’s one of the best violinist in the world. I wish you the best on your musical endeavor

It truly is impressive what regular practice can do. I witnessed it myself when my friend started playing classical guitar. He would practice like 4-6 hours a day and he could play some impressive stuff within a few months.

@@wetsocks8378 really it's the physical risk involved. Stringed instruments are often dangerous to tighten, even in things like violins and guitars. If the string snaps and you're in the way, it can cause some damage and draw blood, especially if it hits your face. Now, imagine those strings, but longer, thicker, and with much more tension. It's like a loaded spring in a garage door, or a grandfather clock. If it releases at just the wrong time, and at the wrong angle, it could very well take an eye out, or worse. Really, it's just safer to leave it up to someone who has the proper training to tune your piano, just like you'd call a repair man for your garage door motor.

@PlatinumVanguard

@@wetsocks8378 There's also a lot of work involved: not all pianos have the same type of action, and if you look there aren't only 88 strings, there are more like ~200 iirc in most modern pianos, and changing the tension on one can change the tensions on the neighboring so it's fairly labor intensive and can take a couple of hours to do for experienced technicians. it's worse if the piano hasn't been tuned in a long time since the strings often need to settle over a period of a couple of months after the tuning and may need to be fine tuned again after.

Not in the sense that they may not be able to play well, sometimes you get people who are an exceptionally good player and then you'll get students to barely put the effort in because they don't care about it because they're being forced but if you have the sense that are exceptionally good that's still don't care about it they just give up because they don't want to do it

@altoclef6688

@Camillo Tejan If you are a beginner, you tend to use all metal strings because they keep the tuning and are easier to get sound from. For metal strings you use a fine tuner. When you play on gut strings (nowadays usually syntetic gut) a fine tuner is useless, you will have to turn it forever before anything happens. So lack of fine tuners means you use higher quality strings which sound better but are harder to play and you need to tune more often. Those strings have metal wound around them, so they still look like metal. Naked natural gut is used for hardcore baroque period style playing..

It is so relieving to learn something without any expectations or trying to get something out of it. I feel highly motivated for each class and almost see it as my therapy or escape from the remaining part of my life which is all about career building and being productive and making things happen. I guess I hate doing things for a REASON

I have been playing the violin for 5 years now and I still don't know how to do a freaking vibrato, how did she learn it so fast ? That's really impressive

Same with me and piano. We must remember that adults have backgrounds, different mindset, better cognitive function, concentration and motivation to learn than children. I have some musical education, I’ve learned to read notes before I’ve learned to read letters and I’ve been singing, tinkering with instruments, including piano, my whole life. But I still consider myself a beginner. So it’s much easier for me and others with similar backgrounds even we think nothing of it. I pick what I want to learn and spend time drilling it. So I may seem a better player than I am. I think adults have patience and fun drilling hard pieces, scales, exercises but little patience for easy stuff. I go through grade 1-3 books/etudes for sight reading and it makes me bored in 2 mins but I can drill small details of 8 notes for 20 min in a piece I’ve been playing for 6 months. Go figure. I think it’s ok to do it both (lots of easy pieces or one or two hard ones) ways as long as you are having fun. As adult beginners we don’t usually have plans to become professional musicians, we just play what and how we want to play :). Still, these videos show how much it’s possible to achieve if you go all in, even if with one piece.

I taught her how to hold the bow - she mastered it in 5 minutes. I thought - wtf? I showed her first position on the left hand - first finger was not good enough - so we did C Maj scale. She played it well - both hands together. We were now maybe 30 minutes into a done hour lesson. Not kidding. So I took out some simple beginner pieces - showed her which places on the stave coincided with which note on the cello. She understood immediately and we sightread through a couple of pieces together. Lesson 2 - cycle of fifths and relative minor scales and how ALL the positions on the fingerboard worked. By lesson four she was playing the Vivaldi cello sonatas - all of them!!! Nice tone, good intonation. Just a genius. Then she was offered a job comparing a new TV show in Hong Kong. She actually tried to get them to fly me out once a month for a lesson. They didn’t agree, but she was a genius.

She wanted to fly you to Hong Kong for every lesson? That would have been really expensive.

Genius is genius. I remember teaching my classmate about chess and after my explanation we had a match and----within 5 minutes she wins.

Always a good time with these two! ✨🎻

This is encouraging, I’m about to start learning to play violin. I’ll make sure to record progress videos!

"so what did you do for 2.5 years?" "Eat. sleep. Play violin. Repeat."

Okay no jokes. This episodes means a LOT to me. it was INDEED really hard, especially for adult beginner players. I was one of them, and now are currently grinding my skills and did some practices almost everyday. sometimes, deep inside there are lots of self-struggles and debates like "Is it worth it to practice this hard at this age? will I be able to do it?" and finally doubting yourself, thinking "Is it worth it? is it too late?" That kind of doubts, and worries sometimes creep inside your heart. Thank you for bringing this videos up, this boosts means a lot to me, I do hope this will motivates others who learned to play an instrument in their adulthood. you are not alone, lets practice more, there is hope :)

Reading this inspires me. I haven’t been consistent with my practicing and it shows, it’s quite lamentable actually. Thanks! 👏🏽

Wow, that is remarkable progress by these students, definitely hard to believe.

😍Beautiful video guys! Loved to see you two shine at the end! 🔥

12:42 Brett: Oh my god. It's hard to play without warming up. Also Brett: *literally nailed it a second earlier* Sure mate, whatever floats your boat.

Maybe he warmed up before turning on the cam

I heard this violin story years ago... After the concert was over, a lady comes up to the violin performer and says, "That was amazing, I would give my life to play like that!". The performer said, "I did."

I love that you're watching not classically trained violinists and supporting them

This works for any instrument. I’ve only been playing baritone for three months and I’ve already improved so much. I went from barely being able to play F, to now playing, well, songs
