It's over. The machine overlords have made their way into classical music.
Today I'm embarking on an unprecedented journey where I'm inviting Chat GPT to be my violin teacher to take on Antonio Bazzini's famously difficult piece, "Round of the Goblins."
Have to say, I was not expecting to receive such a humbling experience but as they say, it's always good to keep learning! 💪🏼

I got interested in your App and wanted to start, but my instrument isn't on there when I want to get started. Is there an option to add also other instruments? Winds are quite underrepresented there... Would be fun to be able to use the App also with other insgruments 😊
If it's anything like in the twoset video, where Eddy asks ChatGPT about up-bow staccato and it told him to point his scroll upwards, this is gonna be a very InTeRestiNg video.
They used version 3.5 though
I thought this too-but seeing Ray use ChatGPT 4 instead of bc 3.5 like the person above me mentioned… it’s a huge difference
Very inTreSTing!
@@kristopherwilson506 i'm so stunned at how well it worked and how good these etudes helped Ray improve... It's a bit concerning how well it works XD.
@@sabrinai Very concerning!
i love how he's a world-class violinist and yet still eager to learn many things! so humble and energetic 😊❤
It's funny how chatGPT recommended exactly the most basic exercises and volumes that 'traumatised' my childhood. I always thought everyone has been 'tortured' by Sevcik, Flesch, Kreutzer and Fiorillo, but that doesn't seem to be the case, as even a great violinist like Ray didn't known about them. That being said, those exercises are pretty standard for eastern european violin schools (or so I imagine, in my own bubble!). ChatGPT is probably more agile and efficient in finding those sources.
It is refreshing thought to see someone like Ray struggling with some passages: a reminder we're all still human and there's no glory without the necessary effort.
Great video! ❤
Are you from Romania?
Ray, can I just say how grateful I am that you take the time to make all of these videos. You really inspire us all.
Something to note: slow practice doesn't just mean playing slowly, it means playing slowly enough that you have 100% accuracy so you train your muscle memory
You have to eventually master a scale or a piece to beyond concert tempo. Only then you have the reserve to play on the stage on even a bad day.
How does plaing slowly enough give you 100% accuracy?
Slow is accurate, accurate is fast.
I may tatoo this frase @@rlrihards948
What did ya'll think? Do you think AI can be a good teacher? 🎻
surely not as good as a Ray Chen 'Teach Me Now' App which I can't wait for you to develop :)
Yes, as long as you keep an open-mind, definitely useful :D
Gpt, for me, has been best used as a personal Jarvis that makes connections for later. Like “give me a table of frequencies for notes from C3 to C4”
“What are the angles between molecules of different shapes?”
“Show me a the equation for impact, then let’s use the values we discussed in table 3”
When I ask it about consonance or dissonance, or harmonies, it gets bad at describing such experiential things. So far, gpt is still just a reflection of whatever it was trained on.
Ive been using it to learn Mari (a minority language from Russia, similar to the Finnish and Estonian languages) and it certainly works as a teacher in both fields, but it has its flaws, like not being specific or occasionally using a wrong translation or always using the formal phrasing of sentences.
Overall it can definitely be an aid but it doesn't replace human teachers
It gave good advice in this video. Kreutzer 2 for practising ricochet was a big surprise. I wouldn't say AI is a good teacher though as it can't give feedback... yet. That would be a major game changer.
I’m not a musician, I’m a scientist & heathcare professional, PharmD, but I watch your videos and TwoSet Violin all the time.
This is EXACTLY how I feel when I’m having a scientific discussion with ChatGPT, sometimes it says stuff that makes me freeze and say to myself ..HOW just HOW did it know that !??? It’s almost SCARY.
And this is only the beginning for AI 😮
Off topic but it never ceases to amaze me the wide variety of people who watch TwoSet; people of all ages, all nationalities and from many different professional backgrounds, musicians and non-musicians alike. This ChatGPT stuff is far out though.... beyond our human capabilities I might add.... without getting into deep water....
@wakingtheworld Agree with you, Twoset has a huge variety of followers and still the musicians in the chats (comments and LL40Hrs) always take their time to help us non musicians with our questions. I'm amazed so many different people can enjoy two dudes with violins that much.
@@xandraxandra1437 It's a wonderful supportive community.... and I can probably safely say here that I had a run in with an unsavoury character the other day who basically said that anyone taking up the violin after the age of 50 is wasting their time; how no one will be able to play Massenet's Meditation... which I said was on my wish list... unless they start by the age of 5 and that I'm living in a world of illusion where my tutor is just taking my money to keep me in ignorance. I was like 'whoooaahh'. I know I've got YEARS ahead of me and am not under any illusion. This person wrote PARAGRAPHS, I'm not kidding. And they're TwoSet followers(!) BUT anyone running someone down like this just never happens on their channel and if they even started, they'd be shot down in flames. The person (with a foreign name) wrote in a very mature way so I thought it was some middle aged lady with a grudge and a serious attitude problem. Turns out to be a 11y.o. lad who started the violin aged 3. However people I've since spoken to, think his Mum posted her hurtful comments. I was told to set my heights no higher than 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'!! This was after I'd said that it's not the technicalities of a piece that matter but rather that you play a simple piece well and mentioned Hilary's 'Twinkle Twinkle' (which I can recommend btw. It's exquisite). So you can see it's got to me. And as I'm nursing a fractured wrist atm I can't even get near my violin to practice... 😥
@@wakingtheworld I think its because there is not that many channels talking about classical music. So it kind of agglomerates all of the demand for that type of media
@@SamuAguiaHP Never thought about that aspect.... so TwoSet kinda cornered the market at the right time! And now we have Ray to add to the mix. These guys are not only keeping classical alive but inspiring folk to play. Otherwise, my neighbours would have saved themselves a fortune in cotton wool the past 18 months!! Jk
I'm not a violin player, my 11 year old daughter is. She's part of a childrens orchestra here in the Philippines. Your reactions on this video shows how a genuine of a person you are. Humble yet a very accomplished professional musician. We love your videos. Keep it up!
"you only know what you know" that's the key ,once you understand that concept it makes you to be always a student 18:35 always open to new or different ideas
This is just Ray Chen discovering all the major etudes and exposing himself for not using scale books lmao
Also fun fact: in Itzhal Pearlmans masterclass he name dropped the Carl Flesch scale as one that he practiced in his younger days
I agree! Maybe it’s not about how smart AI is but about how Ray can improve in such a short time with some random etude practices! 😂
its kinda funny, i get the feel that being a prodigy he probably dived straight into the difficulty pieces and just learned like that, just shows how going to the basics can really be important.
now i feel bad for skipping all the etudes because they were so boring 😅
i love how he looks so shocked at his playing, like his hands have been possessed and he's just watching them move on their own like 😮
Ray on shifts 7:15 to 8:40 and 10:07 12:18
Ray on ricochet 12:35 to 13:57
Just a reminder for me that etudes really help because it's so harddd hahaha, your amazing Ray!
This is one of the best videos Ray Chen has done so far🙌👏
This was so interesting. Especially the moment you recognized you only know what you have experienced and may be missing out on other ways of practicing that will make you even better. It is especially en pointe given you are an incredible violinist already and still work hard to find ways to improve❤
Please continue this series with ChatGPT! this is entertaining and fascinating!
Honest question: how is it possible that you are such an amazing violinist and never tried Flesh or Sevick op. 8?
Could you share how was your technical routine during the process to became this amazing artist?
Huge fan…
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
0:52 Whoooa, how cool to hear the Australian accent come to the forefront 🙂
do post a video of "Round of the Goblins" when you're done practicing it!
Wow this was so interesting! I like how you were skeptical at first but after giving it a shot, you noticeably improved and you could see what ChatGPT was trying to make you learn. Speechless.
Ray discovering new etudes to practice it's really funny! It feels like Goku from Dragon Ball discovering things and having fun 😂
This video is great and the quality of the editing is so much fun! great work and GL with the piece :)
Man, love the video! Gotta point out that the editing is so freakin good on this one! Much love❤
You are always so open with trying new things and honestly share these.
I love that you made this video. It's really motivating me to practice my scale book/etudes 😅. It makes it seem so much more useful after seeing the immediate difference it makes in your practicing.
ahhh many thanks and thankful that Ray Chen opened this kind of platform, testing the waters with different modern innovations, and incorporating music.. this is a game-changer! thank you ray!
Great vid! Topical and practical, and made me laugh. Loved watching your progression with the piece and your progressive realisation about the effectiveness of new practice methods and how ChatGPT can help.
Love the incredible number of prices and trophies in the back while Ray's practicing.
and the way ray being through all the stages of skepticism and acceptance here is adorable lol
I remember Nathan Cole talking about finding etudes to target specific technical deficiencies, which I think is great because I think a lot people just learn etudes to be flashy. So glad you made this video...super inspiring!
Luv the clip! Can't wait to try improving my skills with chatGPT sensei 🙏
the clip so inspring n comments are friendly. I love this place🥺💕
wasted😆 tha sound effect just cracked me 😂
Heifetz much proud that you practiced some scales and arpeggios!
Loved it! It’s never too late to learn new things.
Ray, you're awesome and cool! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about CG! I have up the apps that you also proposed, I'm discovering it right now! Can't wait to listen to your next videos! ;)
Thank you for the wonderful video ❤❤
Hey ray !
Been messing around with your app for awhile. It’s pretty cool ! If possible, you guys should add a metronome or tuner feature (to tell notes) so that I don’t leave the app to do those things. Many thanks
I think it was interesting and perhaps a good change of pace for Ray in particular because he is knowledgeable with effective practice and the violin. He was able to discern what ineffectice and inefficient practice instructions were. Because he knew that, he could further refine his prompts until he got something that was worth practicing. Someone less knowledgeable.... Probably would not have gotten the same things out of it.
Beautiful etude about life’s journey. Amazing content, thank you
i'm looking forward to this, Ray! ❤
Not gonna lie....it's quite refreshing & inspirational to see someone so excited about...practice session, scales and arpeggios... I need to practice .....
This was amazing to witness! Thank you for showing us the magic and skill behind Chat GPT-4
Muy buen video. Gracias!
To answer your question about the Flesch system: "Is this what other people have been practicing the whole time?" Answer: "YES!" 😂😂😂
I literally fell out of my chair at your reaction to this!! And your reaction to the one string scale exercise after one measure was priceless! 🎼🎻🤘
The way I warm up with scales, and also how I have my students practice scales, is like a Galamian Flesch Combo Platter. Start with a major key (let's say D major). Metronome: quarter note = 60
1. Go through the Galamian three octave accelerated scale series (half notes all the way through 32nd notes) in the chosen key (D major in this example), and straight into the major arpeggio. The D at the end of the major arpeggio becomes the first D of the D minor scale.
2. Go through the whole accelerated series again, but in the parallel minor of whichever major scale you started with, finishing with the minor arpeggio (D minor in this example). Now, we can make a seamless transition, (still without stopping because every last note becomes a first note), into Flesch!
(In any key, it will always be exercise 5 in the book, but starting at the 6/4 bar (arpeggiated series). The arpeggiated three octave series (6/4 bar) always starts with the minor arpeggio, so using D major as our example, we would have the Flesch book ready with D major.)
3. The D minor arpeggio that finishes the Galamian scale series is also the first bar of the Flesch arpeggiated series (exercise 5, starting at the 6/4 bar) so we just go directly into the second bar of the 6/4 section.
Once we finish the Flesch three octave arpeggiated series (at the conclusion of the 6/4 section), this is the first time we will have stopped our bow (barring any unforeseen emergencies or natural disasters) since we first started with the D major scale in half notes (Galamian series) ages ago! 👏👏👏
So, quick water break, and then go through all of the one string scales in the Flesch book (exercises 1-4). I also like the Flesch book for chromatics and sixths. That's how I utilize Flesch, and how I have my students utilize it as well.
I really loved what you said at the end of the video, about how valuable it is to try something new and not assume you already know everything lol! What I also gleaned from this is the value that can be had by going back and practicing etudes from books like Kreutzer and Dont which might seem "too easy" or below our playing level. That Kreutzer etude was the first huge moment you had where your playing transformed! How incredible is that!! Even in my mind, I was thinking "oh, a stupid Kreutzer etude, yeah right" 🙄 and how wonderful it is to prove ourselves wrong! 🎻😍
I think the credit here needs to go not to chatGPT (sorry, chatGPT), but to Kreutzer, whose etudes are accessible enough to violinists making that transition out of books like Whistler, still getting comfortable with new positions on the violin, difficult key signatures, etc., yet still just as valuable to accomplished violinists like yourself! I hope everyone who saw this will show their old dusty Kreutzer book some love and get to work on a not-so-easy-after-all etude! 🎻🎻🎻
I have been watching several videos with same background and could not stop thinking "why that house has a typical Aussie backyard?" (because I thought you are now living in the US) - Now I got an answer because of your neighbour, thank the person!!😁
The interesting thing about this is some of these etudes I am learning right now in my own violin lessons (I think I've spent at least half a year on Kreutzer 9), or have learned in the past. Figuring out the exact "this is the point of this etude" is something that definitely didn't stick with me when I was younger, but is easier to articulate as I am taking lessons as an adult.
This was very fun to watch as usual Ray. I think A.I can become a good teacher depending on how well it knows said instrument and music. I say it can be a good counter of a teacher, especially if anyone don't have the appropriate money to hire a teacher until then. I say they can both co-exsist the teacher giving exercises to students as well from chatgpt recommendations they might not have heard of to help improve the student. I can see it like that. Also Ray, I have discovered he instrument I enjoy playing now. Would love a video of you going through it. It's a digital wind instrument known as a areophone. Its a pyscal instrument small n compound. It carries digital aspects that can play sounds of any instruments through apps which is pretty neat. Thanks for a upload. it's encouraging me for sure to get back into practicing my Aroephone now. Been kindof slacking due to warm weather. XD
Really enjoyed watching you practice. It makes me want to join tonic despite me not playing an instrument :)
So do i
I am a little bit too late to the game (loved your video, btw, always do), but Star Trek, being full of genius quotes and fantastic music, offers this little gem of a quote: "Species that don't change - die". And to quote the wise ancients: Tempora mutantur et nos mutamur in illis (Times change and we change within them. )
Gosh I wish I could play violin, just a little tiny bit.
My pavorit violinist now.. After my uncle Ara Malikian.. I like ur style mr.ray chan..
Refreshing and interesting, have a good night Ray! :D
6:00 this is just insane to me, like how can one be so amazing that they can't rush or slow down anymore
okay nevermind, just a few seconds later, you made me eat my words lol
but still, it's crazy how you can tell if you're not going at the correct BPM
wait, is this video not to be taken literally lol? kinda confused here
Good lesson!
I just reach back to my current, younger adult, and childhood viola teachers. They give me really good feedback and help. They know me personally and my physical quirks.
🎶Great video! love how your "Australian" came out after you talked with your neighbor. 😍
Ray, please could you remember that for us meer mortals the who do NOT possess your talent, it IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ball game?!?!?!!!!!
You have the ability to pick up any piece and understand EXACTLY what the composer is trying to convey and how to convey it, whereas the likes of me need someone to explain X, Y and Z.
Really cool video but I am very surprised that you haven't encountered Carl Flesch before. I thought that was supposed to be the bread and butter scale book.
Pierre Gaviniès is another masterful etude book for that excellent list.
Great video idea, thats why you're the 🐐
What app do you use store your sheet music on? I have an iPad but i store my pieces on files…
This is amazing 😮
Great idea and fun
I love your video ideas
What app are you using to find the music sheets?
How much did you practice the pieces it suggested? Surely one run through each wasn’t enough to improve Round of the Goblins?
where do you get all the digitized music on your ipad?
What app do you use for read sheet music?
Which size and make of tablet are you using ?
Terje Moe Hansen has a great video on ricochet!
Hello does anybody know the classical music peace beginning at 17:25? There is no credit and id like to know the title, thx
What app do you use for your music? And is it free?
The Flesch scales are really popular here in the UK and Europe. I'd imagine the Galamian scales are most popular in the US education system
"hi ChatGPT. here's the current source code to Tonic. Can you rewrite it to integrate with OpenAI API that it suggests practice etudes and routines for whatever the user is trying to play?" - Ray probably
Im gonna use the same method for my piano practice 😅
Same, I'm a beginner gonna try to learn my third piece.
Thank you for this. At the very least, ChatGPT can introduce the unknown. That alone has value.
Just thinking about the fact, that I have actually played every etude and exercise, Ray had to play here.
Guys! What is the piece played at 3:15 when he begins the search on chatgpt4?
Ray be flexing hard with all of his medals in the background
the classic surprise when you practice and you actually get better after it HAHAHAHA
love you ray
Scale gang where you at?
Flesch Scale System is wonderful.
starting to think *D A S S C A L E S Y S T E M* is the secret to being the next paganini
OMG I was tortured (!) with the Flesch Scales in my youth 😂 This brings back memories…
This video motivated me to listen to Devil’s Trill Sonata
4:22 the switch of accents there 🧑🍳💋🤌
6:30 I think I use that metronome app too lol
would have been so funny if ChatGPT suggested the Tonic app for suport...
In case you don't know, Ray Chen is an extraordinary violinist whose outstanding, internationally prominent career is ready for the next world !
Hey Ray, I would love to see you make a video with Chloe Chua. Please consider it! 😮
Was expecting Tonic to have a built in metronome. 🤷♀️
Lesson learned: Kreutzer and Flecsh are gods
The crazy thing is that Ray just learned this now when everyone else learned that...50-100 years ago.
@@Aaron-xq6hv Better late than never 😂
@@PatriciaDHarden Touche
omg 07:24 i feel like i know this sad sound but i can't remember where is this from
Hahaha I have been so confused and thought I was going crazy like why does he only sometimes have an Australian accent!?
Someone on ling ling 24hrs recommended Ray as one of the best violin teachers. Anyone know how much he charges for online lessons? Also where I can find the link to sign up.
the dance of the goblin
Hey guys
I forgot what the piece called at 10:52
Can anyone remind me please
Devils trill
What scales has Ray been playing if not Carl Flesch, I thought everyone did those
we don't use scale book in asia ( at least I never heard a piano/violin student using it . I didn't know there's a scale book exists
I asked chat gpt to grade my essay based on my class’s standards and the rubric and it gave me an A+ but my teacher gave me a C+ lol
😢
Bro, he skipped prodigy level he wants to go back and unlock thee level.
I guess Ray can change accents from American to Aussie depending on location--if he is in Oz or the US or in places where he thinks the American accent is more acceptable. This is similar to Gillian Anderson who grew up in the UK but was born in the US and also lived in the US. I forgot the exact term for this bilingual phenomenon which is different from code mixing and code switching or L1 interference that happens with Eddy and Brett.
Bold!
definitely, we have a different definition of easy then!
