You kinda have to think about it like reading a play out loud for the first time. You know what the words on the page are, but you don't necessarily know how to make them sound right, you don't know their exact meaning and sense yet. Being good at sight-reading is a skill you can work on.

I’m in a piano class (I’m a college music major and there are piano requirements for non-piano players) and the professor gives us repertoire to play and sight reading too. My friend played his piece for her, and she gave him pointers for how to work on the piece. Next class, he had made barely any progress, but he did the best in the whole class at sight reading and she called him out for not practicing his piece outside of class

11:24 I am genuinely impressed by the fact that he hit the high notes perfectly first try

Level 1: 0:46 Reiding - Air Varié 1:57 Elgar - Idylle Level 2: 2:44 Joachim - Violino 3:49 Schumann, Clara - Leidenschaftlich Schnell Level 3: 5:00 Wieniawski - Alla Salterella 6:06 Rode - Moderato Level 4: 6:58 Reger - Moderato 7:37 David - Menuett Level 5: 8:41 Reger - Grave 10:23 Wieniawski - Le Chant du Bivouac I know I haven't put the full names of the pieces, but I didn't want this comment to be too dense and long.

That last level 5 sounding straight out of fantasia. I couldn’t stop picturing a winged pony stumbling around before learning to fly at the end 😂😂

Brett's facial expressions should be immortalized into an emoji pack XD

Love how Eddy vibes to Brett's playing!

I woulda gave Brett a point for his level 5. It wasn't the right speed, but he was able to clean it up and had the correct notes.

The look of "wtf" on Brett's face when he's playing and listening to some of these is fantastic. 😂

I am so proud of you guys for this. You may have made some mistakes but for your very first time ever seeing these pieces you both managed to do *so* well. You're genuinely so skilled not only at playing your instruments but at translating what you see on the page into music, it's inspiring. I hope you feel like you did better than you expected because you certainly deserve to.

If you're playing the pieces at a rough performance tempo anyways, you could time how long you play without messing up instead of using a point system, since right now it becomes impossible to score a point at the higher difficulties

I always love to hear that buzz sound whenever these two erred.

First twoset video I've watched in a LONG time. Really enjoyed it! You guys should make a video of some classical music pieces recommendation (that are not so popular and similar to some of the pieces played in this video), I think that would be a really cool video to watch.
