I need to practice. I need to practice.
Practice and TwoSet.
You may notice...
We're wearing practice merch...
Because today's video...
Is about practicing.
Have you practiced?
What's your excuse?
My excuse is...
I'm watching TwoSet Violin!
Nah! No excuses.
Today, we're going to review...
Your excuses for not practicing.
We asked y'all on Twitter...
These excuses are...
Don't know...
- Yeah. - I mean we will find out...
See if we can actually use them or not.
And also if you're someone that struggles with, uh...
Procrastinating from practice
Maybe violin is hard...
You don't have time.
Maybe you're a single mother working three jobs...
Nah, nah, nah! No excuses.
Stick around to the end of this video...
We're going to show you...
A surefire, a 100% guaranteed way...
To overcome all your excuses...
And get that practice in.
That's right.
Make your dreams come true.
I mean, it's really dead.
What?
Let it sleep you know, and just...
It needs to rest as well.
No, you know what this person needs to do?
Mariah?
As you pointed out...
The violin's asleep so, just let it sleep.
Just like...
Your dreams.
Ooh!!!
Cause you're not practicing!
Ooh!!!
- That's brutal. - Next one!
- Summer break! - Wow...
Five minutes for summer, like...
You don't even have a piece going.
Damn it, brain cell number one!
Why you got to do this to brain cell number two?
Brain cell number two tried.
Come on, guys.
- This is - - It's not an excuse!
These excuses are not good.
Fedora says...
Oh.
Oh, well.
Wow, that's next level laziness.
It is true, though, like, any of -
Anything that gets in the way just
stops you from practicing.
One is like don't put the shoulder rest on, you know.
Kate Martin said...
*Sighs*
You can do both at the same time.
We serve the inspiration
but you still have to actually get...
- Yeah. - Your fingers working.
Namjoon...
You got it right.
Namjoon Potter.
For the world to have better, even better music...
We all have to practice.
And work together, so we have the best music
in the world, in our time.
- 21st century. - I just realized...
It's Namjoon.
If you take out the Potter...
Then, it's RM from BTS.
So, now I can have a picture of RM saying...
And that'll be clickbait.
Oh, wow.
Is the instrument okay?
Well, that's like the classic excuse.
- My dad. My dog. My dad? - My dog ate my homework.
- My dog ate my homework. - My dad?!
- I don't know what your dad eats... - Yeah.
Yeah.
Good job!
- Doing both at the same time. - Or?
People are like...
TwoSet preaches practice...
But then they're uploading so much they don't prac -
We still practice, guys!
- Practice and then we film. - God damn it, guys.
Our schedule is tight.
We practice a lot and film a lot.
- Yeah! - Gah!
Alright.
It's not an excuse.
- You - - Still gotta practice.
Yeah, go do something else!
Get an instrument.
Practice your sense of rhythm.
- Practice - - With a metronome.
Tell your violin...
- No excuses! - Oh my god...
My violin is lazy...
Damn it, violin-chan.
No excuses.
You gotta practice, violin.
Violin...
I'll pick that violin and just go...
Tell it to keep going.
They're pointing at the same place.
Yes, so you guys are in the same place then.
- So you should be practicing! - Practicing!
Kira you messed up.
Should be practicing now.
Just!

You almost got us there.
You should still be practicing.
Oh god...
Okay, good. Yeah, fair enough...
Yeah, Sarah...
Yeah, just...
It's cool.
Ling Chen? That's why you're missing -
- That's why your last name - - Ling Chen?
That's why your last name is not Ling Ling.
Wow.
That's a long a** excuse.
Oh no...
Keep it up. You can pick the violin up and practice.
On a more serious note, Cindy...
I know what it's like to have crippling self-doubt.
If you stru -
If you're someone that struggles with...
Self-doubt.
Then...
Stick to the end of the video,
we'll teach you how to overcome it.
Yes.
The foolproof way.
- Yes. - Taught to us by Ling Ling.
Yes, the Ling Ling Insurance.
Ling Ling Insurance.
Nah!
- Weak excuse. - Weak.
- That is weak, guys. - Weak.
I work all day too.
And I'm tired.
We make videos and -
And all day and I'm tired.
You know what, Brett?
I work all day.
and I'm tired of these excuses that I'm reading!
- Ohh!!! - Ohh!!!
But time is just a concept.
So if you think of tomorrow now,
then it's now, so you should practice.
Yeah, always practice.
Now is now.
There's no tomorrow or yesterday - it's just now.
It's the secret to the forty hours a day.
Yeah, guys.
Nah.
No more sleeping. Instruments don't sleep guys.
Instruments are just in their case.
They're just ready...
To be nourished and played by you.
Yeah.
So do them a favor before they run away.
- Well. At least you're honest. - Well, I mean... Yeah.
You just answered yourself.
Pretty much saying...
I don't have any excuses.
Yeah.
- That's very relatable. - Yeah.
I like that.
Samira, well done.
Wow, that's a very, uh...
Spooky...
Sacrilegious instrument.
Practice.
Oh...
Practice 3000.
Excuse...
Yeah... That's...
Excuses... Let's move on.
Alright guys, are you ready to hear...
The secret?
To overcoming all excuses?
Alright, guys...
I want you guys to follow us right now and do this.
I want you to pause this video...
And go grab your instrument.
Right now.
Do it with us.
We're gonna do this together.
Alright?
We're gonna get our violins.
Are we actually? Oh...
We got our instruments.
Alright.
Got your instrument?
It helps if you have merch by the way.
If you have merch it's kind of like a bonus x2 booster.
Yes.
Your intelligence goes up 10%.
Plus five defense against excuses.
Yes.
The stats goes up.
Alright, now.
We want you to follow along
and do this exercise with us.
I want you to visualize every excuse that you have.
Every single reason.
Reasons are just excuses disguised by logic.
Alright.
Now...
I want you to...
I don't know where I'm going with this.
This might be real cringe.
But I'm just gonna go with it and if it's cringe,
we'll do something out of this.
Put it together.
We want - we want you to compress it into a little ball.
Imagine it's like a little rice ball.
- That's right. - Yes.
Compress your excuses into a rice ball.
Squish it even more...
And even more.
And then now open your palm.
You see...
Just... You just see trash.
This trash here....
Represents...
Your dream's lost.
Mhm.
Okay.
So what you're gonna do...
Is you're gonna take this trash...
And you're gonna go...
Ling Ling says practice 40 hours a day!
40 hours a day!
And then you're gonna practice!
