Okay. No, no. Let's just start with middle C.
Middle C is right here.
*plays middle C*
Like this?
*Eddy plays middle C*
That's right, well done!
Professor Yang, how do you play middle C on the violin?
Let me show you.
Now all you have to do
is put three fingers on this string here, and -
Whoa! Can I try?
Yes, you can. Be very careful.
Okay, third finger on the string...
Is it here?
Yeah. Close enough.
Look, I just learned how to play "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" in two months.
*plays Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star*
That's awesome! I also learned how to play "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" in two months.
Listen, listen!

So the key to making a good sound is making sure
you're not too light or too heavy.
It's a great combination between
weight, contact and speed.
Like this?
Yeah, that's it. Sound ain't bad.
Ohh, it's too light. It's too -
Yeah...
Nooooo, it's too heavy. Too much weight.
But I literally didn't change anything.
Well, sorry to say, the bow is actually heavier at the frog
and lighter at the tip.
So, you literally have to re-calibrate
the pressure for every single millimeter of the bow.
Oh, I just did seven hours of piano practice today.
How productive. How much did you practice?
*bone cracking sounds*
I also practiced seven hours of violin today.
Ohhh, my neck...
I think I need a massage...
You need to see a physio...
A, B.
Remember the space.
Okay. A, B.
*Say whaaat?!?!*
Why?!
*hey that's pretty goooooooooooooooood*
*oof*
I can finally play all the notes on the fingerboard now.
Well, kind of...
Good, now we can move on to double stops.
Time to practice your thirds, your sixths, your octaves and your tenths.
And don't forget fingered octaves!
Then, let's spend the next five years
trying to play in tune.
*viola playing*
I can finally play double stops.
Okay, g- great. Did you practice your chords?
What is a chord?
Well, it's three to four notes played at the same time.
It's literally impossible -
to touch three strings at the same time.
Ysaye didn't think so.
*Ysaye laughs condescendingly*
*sighs*
Okay.
*more viola playing*
*condescending laughter*
By the way, did I tell you that you need a new violin?
Because there's no way you can win a competition
with that cardboard box.
Well, how much does a good violin cost?
Well, anywhere from two hundred thousand dollars to...
Ten million dollars.
