@@lulcy789 I already know most of these things from other TSV videos so nothing surprised me. But they make it very interesting even for non-musicians😄
Would love an episode about how you balance your personal/professional lives. With all your touring and practicing, how do you make sure that you’re taking care of yourself and leaving time for your other goals and interests?
Incredible question! Fantastic! I'd love to hear about this as well. Perhaps get a nice vlog to invite fans to tag along for a few moments here and there during a busy week. You know, like they did during the making of their "Fantasia", a short film.
1. Do not play concertos 2. Show up 15-30 minutes early 3. Do not look at the winds players when they have a solo 4. Bring a pencil and eraser to rehearsal 5. Do not talk behind people's Bachs 6. The inside player always turns the page 7. Practice before the first rehearsal 8. Watch for bow marking and changes 9. Listen, blend in and watch the conductor 10. Don't talk to your deskie too much
YES...those people who constantly play in every break...and it's always flashy, fast stuff....you never hear them playing something slow and beautiful....no, because they can't show off with that!
Great episode. It was (understandably) a bit string-centric. Would love to see a few more episodes with special guests to discuss issues for woodwinds, brass, percussion, etc.
Oh, another really good one: when someone in your section has a solo, DO NOT FINGER ALONG WITH THEM....that is SO annoying! It's like you're a vulture, waiting for them to miss so you can jump right in. Also, don't hold up rehearsal by asking questions of the conductor that your section leader can probably answer....at least ask them first, or let them ask the conductor. And if it's specific to your instrument, ask the conductor during the break, so you don't waste everyone's time.
Also an episode on the art of practising in general. How to practise smart, efficient and effective and how you could schedule a practise session, in order for it to be all that. And not countless hours of mindless repetition with no progress. Especially because everyone tells you "to go practise" but no one teaches you, HOW to actually practise, in order to achieve the best possible results, in as little time as possible. Since it is so difficult to master practising and additionally having few guidelines on how to be smart about it, it would be very interesting to hear your thoughts, experiences, knowledge and wisdom on it. Love you guys❤
Basically, do what will help the orchestra to succeed, including being pleasant to work with. And as much as you don't want to gossip with the other players, do NOT gossip with the pianist. We know EVERYONE. 🙂
one of my fav twoset videos was the one where they talked abt their embarrassing stories. i was so into it that i actually thought that lol these guys should make a podcast, i would definitely listen to it. AND DAMN 4 YEARS LATER AND NOW HERE WE ARE
one thing i learnt from old twoset videos is: listen around kids: the viola jokes never age lol i watched them with my sister like 10 times LOL and i play viola
I’m still a terrible page turner (it’s the dry skin), but I actually had to be taught to turn them properly, when I was a graduate viola student. Instead of putting the instrument down and turning with the right hand, continue to support the instrument with only the head and shoulder, and turn with the left hand. My classmate taught me, and 40+ years later, I taught one of his students, who we had just hired. This may not work for the violins, but it’s a regular practice for the violas.
If you get a magnet ring for your pencil you can leave the pencil stuck on your music stand and never forget it. Plus there are magnets that also have a rubber coating. You can stick the pencil to the music stand from below which will make turning the pages easier.
Would love for you guys to talk about your process in coming up with video ideas. Who's idea was violin charades? What's your favorite type of video to produce and why? What goes into putting these awesome videos together for us viewers and what have you learned along the way?
If you have several bars of rests before a page turn (maybe even with meter changes), copy them to the top of the next page. That way, you can turn the page early and still safely count up to your next entry without forgetting how many and what kinds of rests you have.
Yes. I always do this when typesetting parts. If there are several multi-bar rests, the page turn should be after the first set. If the rests are | --7- | - 16 - | - 16 - | - 8 - |, there will be more anxiety if it's | --7- | - 16 - | - 16 - | page-turn | - 8 - |. Much kinder to have | --7- | page-turn | - 16 - | - 16 - | - 8 - |, and preferably some sort of reassurance cue at the top of the page, even if it's just the name of the prominent instrument. Not all copyists have enough time to be kind!
I think exploring about what you should do on your first day, first week and first month in orchestra could be interesting. This could include deductions on the paycheck, preparing for your first concert, concert dress, guest conductors, and performing with choirs and soloists.
21:57 as a choir singing, I can relate to the blending, we practice that A LOT. And when I was in the audience for the Wiener Filharmoniker and Symfoniker in Musikverein, one of the quality markers for me was that the violins all sounded as one, one gigantically projecting violin, with the cleanest sound I have ever heard
Could hardly wait until I could take my daughter to school today. Now I finally have some time to enjoy this podcast. I just love how Brett and Eddy are role models for everyone, not only about classical music and practice, but also being authentic and creating an encouraging, constructive, non-toxic environment. Keep up the good work guys, and also take care of yourself 💜
14:25 What a great story about Eddie and the kind concert master defending him to the conductor! That would be my worst nightmare though...you think you're safe in the back and then getting dropped up front with the concert master!!!
My High School band director would say to us "if you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late." to impress upon us to always show up to class and performances early enough to get ready and sit down.
As someone who has a habit of turning my head towards the speaker in a conversation automatically (Trauma habit), it lays over in my behavior-in-orchestra habits and makes me the stinker who looks at the woodwinds during rehearsal when they have solos-though it doesn’t show through in concerts.
Even if youre not in Orchestra and just a musician in orchestra but still want to be professional these tipps are so important and as you can also hear by their story that sometimes you get these lessons a bit late and then have awkward or embarassing moments that could have been averted
Would love an episode or segment with advice for people learning later in life (20s/30s), people who didn't get to go to music school or get a lot of musical education growing up. Things for them to practice, skill wise. Things for them to study, music theory wise. Things like that. Loved this episode, keep 'em coming 👍
to add to the tip about bringing a pencil/eraser- bring extras. literally the quickest way to make friends if someone forgets theirs and you save their ass lol
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, but it’s difficult to put it into words. I’d love to hear more stories about your experiences. And not just yours, but the personal stories of other musicians as well. To hear these behind the scenes stories, somehow makes me understand the music better. I’m not a musician, but as a dancer I have worked with a lot of (middle eastern) musicians. Knowing these people and the difficulties they are facing, made me better understand what is going on onstage during a middle eastern concert. Until I discovered your channel I always saw a symphony orchestra as a body of anonymous persons just doing their job. That changed. I went to listen to some symphonies lately and it is much more relatable to me now. Your little stories in many videos made me understand better the people who play the music. And that makes the music more enjoyable to me. I don’t know if this makes sense to you.
My biggest tip: Try to start in an amateur orchestra as early as possible. Don't wait until you have to sit in a professional one. A youth orchestra is much more relaxed about these things and you can get the experience without the drama.
I would love to hear more "nerding out about music"-type discussions. It's always fun to hear people talk about what they're most passionate about and what they're currently discovering!
Honestly, I’d listen to any topic you guys decide to feature! It would be really cool to hear your opinions on music school and youth orchestra, though. I’m in youth orchestra and I’m curious about your experiences. Much love!
Omg my clarinet section needs to hear the “don’t talk behind other people’s backs”. My band didn’t have a bass clarinet so I was assigned to it this year and sucked because it’s a bunch of different technique and they basically ostracized me and refused to even look at me, and I’m the director’s favorite. Lol.
I worked for a professional orchestra before. You can sit "7th chair" second violins and still be literally 3 feet from the conductor because the seatings were circular position, and right behind us were the oboe, flute, etc. You can't hide.
I'm an amateur violinist and choral singer - nowhere near professional, I just play for fun. But I was nodding along when you talked about blending with other sections. I taught myself, almost by accident, to listen to the other sections while playing in a community string orchestra as a teenager. I found that skill applicable to choir as well, and I'm always baffled when other people can't do it, or don't think to do it. You're playing in a group, you should be listening to that group!
Super duper love love love this new podcast channel! So awesome getting to just listen to the gained wisdom that both of you have had over the years. Very valuable information and lessons. Thank you both, Brett & Eddy. Really appreciate your valuable time and shared knowledge and years of experience. Sending warm hugs filled with love and encouragement. 🫂💕💯🎻🎻🥰🥰
You know, a lot of what you say not only applies to Orchestral rehearsals, but also anything that has a group of musicians coming together, like choir... tho I must say, we have the privilege of having our own scores, so a big thing is - remember to bring your scores!
I’d like to hear about how you prepare for a lesson. I don’t mean practice that week; that’s obvious. What I mean is, in like the hour or so before your lesson what are you doing? Do you do a basic warm up? Go over the pieces? Make a list of problem areas? How do you prepare to get the most out of the lesson time?
On the page turning: I see it increasingly more often that the outside person turns the page because its so much easier for them to reach it since they sit on the side where the page is, that needs to be turned. Its an exception ofc with the concertmaster or section leaders since they still need to lead the orchestra/section.
thank you guys so much for this!! i’m studying violin performance for college this fall and although i’ve played in youth orchestras since middle school, i’m so nervous about college orchestra 😭😭 wish me luck
I would love to hear more about your orchestra experiences because I relate to it the most. But I would also be interested to hear you talk how to manage a string quartet or other chamber music setting.
Love these podcasts ! It would be interesting to have the same format but with tips for music university ! how to prepare for the audition, how to organise your schedule between classes and practicing but still having a life on the side (lol), etc.
OK. I admit, I'm guilty of the "practicing concerto during break" thing. I never thought about that and I will not do that anymore..... Makes sense. Thanks guys!
I feel so fortunate I only discovered this channel in episode 2 so I didn't need to do the agonising 3 month wait the others had to do. But welp, 3 more months for me to wait now...
I'M SO HAPPY!! And the timing is so perfect because I just finished Episode 1 this morning. Then I was like, "ohh it's been two months. I wonder when Twoset will upload a new episode 😢" . Then here we are!! You guys read my mind 😭
The conductor talked about me behind my back during rehearsal, and I was like, "is It about me?" And he nodded, so I told him "so turn around and talk looking at me" I ended up leaving the orchestra and he sent his "pets" to talk to me and ask If I would come back because he had some unrefusable offer... Of course I said no.
Sat near a harpist for many years in a pro orchestra. You may put your extra set of strings in a jacket pocket, but the harpist puts extra strings in that bag on stage, along with Tibet Almond Stick to take care of all the dings and nicks the instrument get when being moved, and a dust cloth because they don't get to clean this instrument at home.
Hurray!! I really hope there gonna be more orchestra-talks! Btw, about the last one, don't you ever talk ON STAGE because literally everyone can see that, even if you are in winds section(and maybe hear too if there are some mics around) ☠☠☠
2B pencil is also preferred because it's a softer lead, and therefore easier to erase. Worst thing is trying to erase something and scrubbing a hole through the score because it won't come off
Loved it. It's a rare insight into professional orchestras... and funnily enough... in our community orchestra it's so similar! I always get SO annoyed with the two girls that NEVER bring a pencil.
"that was super intense" "he send a message" a professional musician played the next phrase of a concerto.. "super intense". But in the movie adaptation : Duel!! Two string players fighting with bows!!
it`s so interesting to hear your experiences, especially when i`m not involved in all these things so i`m not familiar with how the orchestra works, please talk more🙏🙏
I would love to hear about your relationship with literature. What type of literature you like/dislike, book recommendations (music-related & others)... Writing music. This comes from author-to-be who is beginner pianist. Where does it start, are there any character arcs or structures to write it (like Aristothelic structure in drama/literature), "genres", which are your favorites to write, how you express some things/feels with music. And/or writing in general. Continuing with the theme of one your older videos: if especially your violin would be a person, what kind of they might be. And relationship with your violin(s).
EVERYBODY WAKE UP TWOSET TALKS POSTED
(I don’t care what y’all talk abt on here this is my therapy
NO WAYY 💯💯
yasss I love listening to them talk
JOKES ON YOU I DON'T SLEEP!!
(Also, agreed
Yeah I need to recover after that April fools video
Yasssssssssss don't sleep
Here's a cup of coffee ☕️
Not even a musician but here I am, listening to a half an hour podcast about surviving in orchestra.
😂😂😂
Same😂😂
Lollll genuine question what is it like hearing this stuff, does anything surprise you or is everything kind of what you’d expect?
Why? 😂

Good use of Bach there
11.Tune up then shut up ! That is all that I remember from my school orchestra days.
I thought Eddy's first tip would be to make sure you're not late. 😂
hahahahhaha that would’ve been ironic
I thought it'd be to bring your instrument haha
@@ciara03 lmaoooo that too
hahaha!!!
Or, remember to bring your instrument
So, to sum up: don't be late and have 20 eyes to be able to look at everyone and everything at once
And twenty ears to hear everyone around you, outside your own section
*ahem* 40 eyes lol
Biblically accurate concertmaster.
Would love to hear you each talk about some of your favorite pieces in depth and why they are your favorite.
yes this!
oooh I agree
YES...those people who constantly play in every break...and it's always flashy, fast stuff....you never hear them playing something slow and beautiful....no, because they can't show off with that!
Great episode. It was (understandably) a bit string-centric. Would love to see a few more episodes with special guests to discuss issues for woodwinds, brass, percussion, etc.
Yeah, like the person on the left turns the page? I think it’s the opposite on the other side, 2nds, etc. I think it’s the upstage person, isn’t it?
@@hopegold883 yeah I think the 2nds and 1sts left side turns and violas cellos and double basses (?) the right side turns
Yes, I was about to comment the same. It would be very cool if they had special guests.
@@nerajdajmk1030I agree, how cool would it be to invite people like Hilary into their podcast?
How about that one classical opera singer, I don’t think opera is very that well known
Oh, another really good one: when someone in your section has a solo, DO NOT FINGER ALONG WITH THEM....that is SO annoying! It's like you're a vulture, waiting for them to miss so you can jump right in.

Also DON'T WARM UP WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S SOLO BEFORE REHEARSAL!!!
Yes, orchestral survival guide part 2 please!
agreeeed
Yup, absolutely! Part two, pleeeeaaaasee!
yes yes yes!
yes please!
Me, a vocalist: yes this is very important for me to know
My orchestra will play pieces that have a choir part this session. Never done that before. Perhaps the choir won’t have done it before either then.
oui oui indeeed
I think vocalists absolutely need to know this as well (:
@@M_SC Ooh what piece? I've only done Mozart's Requiem but it was very fun

omgggg u called it!!!
one thing i learnt from old twoset videos is:
listen around kids:
the viola jokes never age
lol i watched them with my sister like 10 times LOL and i play viola
I’m still a terrible page turner (it’s the dry skin), but I actually had to be taught to turn them properly, when I was a graduate viola student.

I knew Twoset Talks would be back. Quality over quantity, and I totally approve.
yayayayaya I agree these videos are very high quality!!

1st rehearsal is for practicing sight reading.

lmaooo and canon in d😂
Thank you for not abandoning your podcast channel after the first episode ❤
TwoSet talks is like the podcast we have been waiting for years!!!
yesss I’m so glad for this episode because I’d love to become an orchestral musician one day
As someone who has a habit of turning my head towards the speaker in a conversation automatically (Trauma habit), it lays over in my behavior-in-orchestra habits and makes me the stinker who looks at the woodwinds during rehearsal when they have solos-though it doesn’t show through in concerts.
Aaaaaah, finally!! Honestly, I would love for you to talk about your book collection that we can see on your shelf and why its there. Thanks guys!
ooh I agree, they could talk about their new setup, btw are they in Singapore?
I'm so glad you did not abandon this project!
4:52 random noise and Brett's quick witted response by giving Eddy's flexing time
Eddy’s gotta flex his perfect pitch anywhere and anytime, as a person with perfect pitch, I’m guilty of flexing it everywhere 😅
He got it wrong it was a D natural imo
YOO I WAS LITERALLY THINKING “why did they abandon this podcast :(“ YESTERDAY
smeeee I was like “when r they gonna do another episode?”
NO SAME
haha yep!! me too
Twoset are the bear grills of orchestra and classical musician life!
Eddy, that concertmaster was not only kind, but he was a GREAT TEACHER.....he knew you needed to experience to teach you a lesson, and he provided it.
Even if youre not in Orchestra and just a musician in orchestra but still want to be professional these tipps are so important and as you can also hear by their story that sometimes you get these lessons a bit late and then have awkward or embarassing moments that could have been averted

I don’t Even play in orchestra but I watch it because TwoSet.
FREE THERAPY ILY guys so much!!, You have inspired me so much and I’m so happy you made a new channel where you guys talk and teach!!🤩🤩🤩

And he nodded, so I told him "so turn around and talk looking at me" I ended up leaving the orchestra and he sent his "pets" to talk to me and ask If I would come back because he had some unrefusable offer... Of course I said no.
Yes please to more orchestra episodes!
Sat near a harpist for many years in a pro orchestra. You may put your extra set of strings in a jacket pocket, but the harpist puts extra strings in that bag on stage, along with Tibet Almond Stick to take care of all the dings and nicks the instrument get when being moved, and a dust cloth because they don't get to clean this instrument at home.
This is great, and I hope there will be many more in this series! You two never disappoint!!
89 days without Twoset talks new ep, UNTIL TODAY, FINALLY GUYS
wow, has it been that long?!
respect that you actually worked it out 😂
I love these types of videos, please make more!!!
Maybe an entire episode on how to follow the concertmaestro, especially from the back rows when you cannot see them!
I would like another orchestra one this was great 🙏
Very interesting for me as non violinist hobby player! Never thought about these things. More of this please!
Great! I would love to hear an episode about the ideal conductor orchestras will always love to work with 🎵
A lovely channel to listen to while practicing
YOOOO LETS GOOOO TWOSET TALKS POSTED WOOOOO
I’m not a musician and I still find your tips fascinating! 😂
Hurray!! I really hope there gonna be more orchestra-talks! Btw, about the last one, don't you ever talk ON STAGE because literally everyone can see that, even if you are in winds section(and maybe hear too if there are some mics around) ☠☠☠
2B pencil is also preferred because it's a softer lead, and therefore easier to erase. Worst thing is trying to erase something and scrubbing a hole through the score because it won't come off
Loved it. It's a rare insight into professional orchestras... and funnily enough... in our community orchestra it's so similar! I always get SO annoyed with the two girls that NEVER bring a pencil.
"that was super intense" "he send a message" a professional musician played the next phrase of a concerto.. "super intense". But in the movie adaptation : Duel!! Two string players fighting with bows!!
Yeah, movies suck for the most part
If you can survive in orchestra for a short time, you can survive for a long time.
😂😂😂😂
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly
Love these! I’m all for a part 2 of this episode!
lesson learned: GO PRACTICE!
14:34 I like how they associate the term "rach 2" with the symphony instead of the concerto (rach 2 symphony >>>>>PC2)
it`s so interesting to hear your experiences, especially when i`m not involved in all these things so i`m not familiar with how the orchestra works, please talk more🙏🙏
I would love to hear about your relationship with literature. What type of literature you like/dislike, book recommendations (music-related & others)...
Writing music. This comes from author-to-be who is beginner pianist. Where does it start, are there any character arcs or structures to write it (like Aristothelic structure in drama/literature), "genres", which are your favorites to write, how you express some things/feels with music. And/or writing in general.
Continuing with the theme of one your older videos: if especially your violin would be a person, what kind of they might be. And relationship with your violin(s).
PLS DO PART 2, love u guys ❤
I'd like another episode! I just like hearing y'all talk.
This channel needs wayyyy more recognition!!!❤
OMGGGGGG FINALLYY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOOO LONG FOR THIS SECOND EPISODE
