Fun Fact: for a little while, I played in a very serious band with high expectations and a director who didn't like joking around very much. So imagine our surprise when, one day, while holding a fermata, he just put down his arms and walked out of the room. No kidding, we just kept holding the notes until he came back.
And cello music will just randomly be like, here's this new clef. It looks like what the violas use, but its not. You could be using treble, but we want it to be hard
Here is the alto cliff, this makes finding middle C difficult, this is tenor cliff, it makes finding middle C impossible, oh and say hi to ledger lines
My orchestra teacher showed us this and this one kid was like " teach us the demisemihemidemisemi quaver! " the teacher politely declined while the rest of the class was like noooooooo
Do you also sometimes get lightheaded after playing a flute piece with not that many rests? I do and I’m trying to make sure that I’m not weirdly different
*Storytime listen up* So my school requires a written test for band (which is dumb). As a loophole my band director usually says "Write your name on the top of the paper. Now turn it in". And as long as you wrote your name on the top of the paper, you passed the written test (We still did play tests and stuff if wasn't to pass the class). But this year, he decided to do something different. He passed out a small piece of paper to everyone in the class and said to wrote any question about music you can think of. He would compile all of them into a written test for us to take. But there was a twist- if we wrote a question that no one in the room knew the answer to, we wouldn't have to take the test, and we'd get a 100. My question was "What is the name of the 256th note". Needless to say no one knew the answer. Not even the band director. So I guess this video was genuinely helpful lol
As a high school trombonist I can confirm that that is the only thing fun about playing trombone. Other than that you don’t really need to tune it. You just shorten or lengthen the slide till it sounds good.
@@camerontravers5876 me : shit. my paper sure have a *good* note... no need to breath, make sure to play loud then not even bother and then have that ulululululu note, also, is that demisemihemi note????

Or you're a percussionist like me, awkwardly miscount a very long rest, and play the GIGANTIC CYMBAL CRASH three measures early. I've done that before. Several times.
Same here. Just started playing Keyboard (although learning as a piano) just a few weeks ago. And actually having the C right in the middle is super helpful to remember where all the notes are found
eri139 that actually happened to me back in eight grade. I was in the varsity choir at my school and my director gave me an impromptu solo the day of the concert
@@akimbobiscuit5572 pretty well surprisingly but given how this was my last year in that choir I'm not exactly surprised it, also I just had to sing the intro to the song which we rehearsed in class as a choir

@@loganm2924 umm a major second interval consists of a distance of one tone between two notes. A minor second only has a semitone of distance. So tecnically they're not the same.

*alto clef shows up* "There are also some more obscure clefs that you'll never be told about" *sad violin starts playing but it's on the viola* RIP all the violists
Musical Trash I play viola and violin but i can say it’s accurate, viola clef is just..... unnecessary. Why? Why a whole clef for one string lower than a violin???
The violas in my orchestra are bitter and call themselves 3rd violins to revolt. The conductor gave them the 2nd violin music once, they all realized it, but played it anyway resulting in the 3rd violin being born in our orchestra.

*literally the sound of purgatory*
That is basically it. You forgot the Fermata, which is to hold as long as the dude with the stick wants you to or until it feels long enough
And if youre practicing at home... just play until u pass out or start to fall off the chair
I call it a Frittata
Fun Fact: for a little while, I played in a very serious band with high expectations and a director who didn't like joking around very much. So imagine our surprise when, one day, while holding a fermata, he just put down his arms and walked out of the room. No kidding, we just kept holding the notes until he came back.
True tho😂
the dude with the stick lmao
I read "This video is not a joke. Watch for genuine help"
Renee of CA i did too for a sec,i had to reread
Yep... As an amateur this comment section has been quite informative.
Oh Hey It's Just Renee sameee
Lol same!
Oh Hey It's Just Renee YEAH SAME! I HAD TO READ IT THREE TIMES
"These are the 2 main clefs, the low one and the high one. There are also some more obscure ones you'll never be told about."
*sad viola noise*
I have actually come across an alto clef while playing piano.
And cello music will just randomly be like, here's this new clef. It looks like what the violas use, but its not. You could be using treble, but we want it to be hard
Viola gang
Yimmy !!! no
Here is the alto cliff, this makes finding middle C difficult, this is tenor cliff, it makes finding middle C impossible, oh and say hi to ledger lines

"you can put them together to sound nice"
*plays a minor second*
a minor second is the same as a major second I believe. What he really played was an augmented first
Rush.2112 i’m just gonna assume you’re joking?
It's not an augmented first, unfortunately. Since it's not two notes on the same line it's a second.
mreh.
Yeah. . . Ummmmmmm. . . Nice?
Diminished second.....
My orchestra teacher showed us this and this one kid was like " teach us the demisemihemidemisemi quaver! "
the teacher politely declined while the rest of the class was like noooooooo
"This tells you to breathe in case... you forget to breathe."
* cries in flute *
FACTS
Do you also sometimes get lightheaded after playing a flute piece with not that many rests? I do and I’m trying to make sure that I’m not weirdly different
@@abbybayer9815 SAME i talked about this with my other flutes in my class. You're not alone.
I used to play a brass instrument, but I almost died of no breathing, so I moved to violin.
In my band I play an heavier flute (in G) and after two hours of holding that oh boy my wrists
*Storytime listen up*
So my school requires a written test for band (which is dumb). As a loophole my band director usually says "Write your name on the top of the paper. Now turn it in". And as long as you wrote your name on the top of the paper, you passed the written test (We still did play tests and stuff if wasn't to pass the class). But this year, he decided to do something different. He passed out a small piece of paper to everyone in the class and said to wrote any question about music you can think of. He would compile all of them into a written test for us to take. But there was a twist- if we wrote a question that no one in the room knew the answer to, we wouldn't have to take the test, and we'd get a 100. My question was "What is the name of the 256th note". Needless to say no one knew the answer. Not even the band director. So I guess this video was genuinely helpful lol
Hazel Fitz lol.
Well done
how can i listen up if im reading this
Hazel Fitz 50 ways to like this comment. How satisfying. Actually, what’s the 50th note?
KawaiiKittyCatND 93 There isn't one. It'd probably be some sort of dotted note, because it always goes by 4's. (Except half and whole)
As a musician, I can 100% confirm all of this
Potions_Master
As a highschool band kid, I can also confirm this as pretty much accurate
Potions_Master SAME
As a high school trombonist I can confirm that that is the only thing fun about playing trombone. Other than that you don’t really need to tune it. You just shorten or lengthen the slide till it sounds good.
Same here

I've never studied music or even really professionally played an instrument so watching this video and reading all the comments relating to the video makes me feel like I'm an alien from outer space observing Earth from millions of lightyears away, while also high on drugs and in the middle of a fever dream during a test I didn't study for
sounds about right
1:56 "Someone's playing the wrong note."
THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF PLAYING IN A GROUP.
Or you're a percussionist like me, awkwardly miscount a very long rest, and play the GIGANTIC CYMBAL CRASH three measures early.
I've done that before. Several times.
Hehe yep
I'm a clarinet, and we're in the front row. The low brass will mess up a lot sometimes, and this is literally what the clarinet section will do
Wh1t3An0nymou5 I've heard freight trains belching E major triads. I understand what you meant, nothing major.
You think that bands play the wrong note often
_dont join chior litterally no one's on the right note I stg_
Not gonna lie, showing me where the hell middle c is on the sheet actually did help
Same, and I've been playing piano for eight years
Same here. Just started playing Keyboard (although learning as a piano) just a few weeks ago. And actually having the C right in the middle is super helpful to remember where all the notes are found
"You were never informed of this"
WHY IS THIS MY LIFE IN A NUTSHELL.
eri139 that actually happened to me back in eight grade. I was in the varsity choir at my school and my director gave me an impromptu solo the day of the concert
Joseph Kamantauskas how did it go?
@@akimbobiscuit5572 pretty well surprisingly but given how this was my last year in that choir I'm not exactly surprised it, also I just had to sing the intro to the song which we rehearsed in class as a choir
Can’t believe this only came out 4 years ago, feels like so much longer than that. I go to a conservatory for music and kinda wanna make sure everyone knows about this video.

+Ubey Elliott subito means suddenly. As in suddenly loud or suddenly soft. If you are reading it as it comes up, you probably missed it.
As a musician who has been playing for over a decade,
I find this quite accurate.
No one:
My sheet music: so we're in 2/4, and now we're in 3/4 for a measure before going back to 2/4, then we go back to 3/4, then we go to 4/4 and it will be like that for a while, and then we go back to 2/4-
i find it better to just ignore it and go with how it sounds
Try 6/8 into 7/8 into 5/8 into 2\4 into 12\8 and back to 6/8.
