      For actors, the hardest instrument to fake-play is violin. I usually go into hysterics when I see an actor pretending to "play" the violin! The easiest instrument to fake might be one in the wind family (as long as the cameras don't point too much at the fingers). It's easy to tell fake-piano players by watching the ridiculous expressions on their faces, or uncoordinated arm and body movements.

      the difference is if you are at rehearsal and you kind of know the piece so you know the bowings and such, and you can listen for shifts or you know them too, but your fingerings/intonation/etc. are off and you didn’t practice so you have to fake it.

    This video saved my 10 year old daughter! Thank you so much! She has worked very hard and this year made it into the intermediate youth orchestra in our city. She's at the far back of the first violins and at the front of the stage where everyone can see her. She's also younger than most of the others and small for her age so her toes barely touch the floor from her chair. Tonight the beginner orchestra finished and left the stage and the intermediate filed on. Somewhere in the process of trying to get herself, her violin, and her binder of music settled, the binder burst open and the music all went onto the floor! She hurriedly gathered it up and ended up just pulling out the music for each piece from a pile on the floor. She was a little off a couple times in the first page of music but I assumed it was just from the stress of her binder explosion and it wasn't enough that anyone else would probably notice. After that, she was fine. Well, it turns out the first page of her music totally disappeared. She was obviously very familiar with the piece but hadn't memorized it. So she faked her way through until they got to the second page. She's an avid TwoSet fan so has watched this a few times and we're both so grateful to you for saving an eager young violin student!

      @@brendonmanning7280 I have this little story from high school a few months ago. So I attend a Music High School (no it's not like a TV drama, and I'm the only one who randomly breaks into song in the hallways) and we have various musical groups that practice during instrument class, which is 2 hours on monday.
      So I am a part of such a group, which is basically a chamber music group with a couple of violins, a cello, a trumpet, a piano and recently even a flute. This year, a violinist friend of mine has been wanting to join us since she did play with our group on certain occasions last year, but the self-centered conductor of the orchestra group (which she is formally a part of) would pester her not to transfer, along with the teacher who takes care of such things. A bit of drama ensued between our chamber group teacher and the conductor, and finally one day I have reserved a seat for that friend and she comes into the bus with a "shit just happened" look on her face.
      Around that time the tension between all parties interested and involved in that transfer (which by the way she had every right to make) was at its apex. It was Monday, and she had to attend orchestra rehearsal rather than our own cozy friendly and all around great group. During that class, the conductor said the following to her, who was playing the second violin part. "Hey, (name), would you perhaps like to *transfer* to the first violins?" A bit taken aback, wary, and as she put it recently, "loath to give up the easiest part in the orchestra, which I don't like to play in anyway" she timidly refused, saying "Uhm... no, I'm not sure I could handle that." His sarcastic reply was as follows : "Oh, at least you're self-aware." Those words were spoken by the conductor to a very self-conscious girl in front of the whole orchestra.
      We've been meming the incident ever since.

      yes and no. yes faking sounds hard when explained but if you have played for quite some time it becomes second nature and your mind and arms just kind of go on autopilot.
      but also no to just playing the correct notes. im not sure if you play a string instrument but if you dont, its important to know that string instruments are difficult for a myriad of reasons but a big one is that its not like guitar where you have frets or a woodwind/brass-wind where you have keys to touch or whatever and you just have to focus on your hand position as well as your breath, depending on the instrument. with violin, viola, cello, and bass, we dont have any of that. we have to know exactly where every single note is across the entire violin, and while you can read music very well like most seasoned players, if you are in the middle of a piece and its a fast tempo like presto for example, to go to that high note and then right to the next note and follow the rhythm and melodic contour requires so much brain power because if you mess up that one note, your rhythm can easily be thrown off which then means more missed notes. and because of our instrument, if you move your finger the smallest bit on the string, you easily fall out of tune. so to not only move your hand to the correct position and land on the right high note thats on the body of the instrument and therefore harder to reach is a lot to do

Our conductor changed the fingering and my stand partner got super confused and air bowed the whole thing. Our conductor looked right at us, stopped the whole orchestra, and yelled "Hey! You look like you are FLOATING! GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME! IT'S A SIMPLE C SCALE.. -insert facepalm- look, you're a good cellist, but you need to change the floating. We need a new you"
