Attempting ABRSM Sight-Reading Test of Every Grade

7/8 sounds so rytmically wrong:D i would never play such pieces

I’ve got my grade 1 booked for next month and these nerds made it look so easy they boogied to it 😂 Bastards 😅😉🫶

I love sightreading adventures!
But even without my recorder and not counting double and triple notes I got more and more problems only just translating the notes into shape and motion in my brain that quickly the more you got on.
I think sightreading notes is quite like sightreading text - it is practice and experience. Reading really complicated texts while understanding and expressing the meaning to the hearer would be as difficult - only that in music there ist no limitation in speed and strange intervalls can feel like invented nonsense words...
You did great!

sightreading is not that hard

i am 9 years old and on grade 7

This made me laugh a lot. AND it was very instructive (and daunting). Thanks for posting. Glad you two are human too. Meanwhile, won’t be trying these exams any time soon… 😂💕🎻

That last one is the piece you give to the cocky asshole that's always talking down to everyone else. just to knock him down a peg.

Watching Brett and Eddy mess up the sightreading makes me feel a lot better about my exam

why are you so happy HAHAH

For me sight reading notes is fine. Tempo is always hard with me. :( I'm only level 2 though

I got til lvl 7😅😄

Seriously, Brett’s humility is humbling.

God i remember for my piano sightreading, stopping was a HUGE no-no and i always did it cause i got so nervous
The trauma

love how eddy just completely ignored the up bows on the seventh grade piece lol :)

ABRSM Examiner: so you have been playing for 2 weeks now, you learnt what a crotchet was this week and this is your grade 1 exam right? ... Now please sight read this paganini piece. Dont forget the dynamic markings. Begin!

Great show! Thanks!

i think that the FRSM for Eddy should've counted because he did that entire thing perfect on the second go

I REALLY LIKE these two guys!!! I think that they're a REALLY good laugh!!! Furthermore, as someone who's been studying music for most of my life (I'm nearly 48 and a half) I LOVE the fact that I stumbled upon their channel as it's GREAT to have someone I can relate to!!!

Please don't get me wrong, my family have ALWAYS been TOTALLY supportive, and both my parents ABSOLUTELY LOVE classical music as well, but I'm the only one who's studied it seriously.

Unfortunately ABRSM doesn't have sight reading now

No one will probably see this but those sound effects remind me of the game yume nikki

love it

what i never understood about violin is how you can play two notes at once. i play alto sax so like idk

As a player who has been playing violin for 5 months, I got somewhere near 1st-2nd grade

Bruh, they really tried to emulate Bach and failed so hard it’s sad

I am doing grade 7 for trumpet in the summer and seeing the sight reading piece I am terrified

That last piece that Eddy played was actually very beautiful!

grade 2 brett's speed is definitely not allegro

Gotta work on that Italian pronunciation lads

that grade 5 sight reading 1st one the top d I messed up on an audition but I still got in tho

im dying to know where i can get the hungarian dance sheet music for the 8th level that brett played

Question: hOw dO yOu Do ViBrAtO sO CoMfOrTabLy? mY hAnD iS nOt BuiLt FoR tHaT also do u do vibrato like for anything you pla y?

I think the accents in the lullaby piece are suppose to sound like that, it gives it a sort of unbalanced feel like your drifting off to sleep. At first I was expecting, from hearing the name, like its purpose was to lull one to sleep. Out of them all, that particular one is my favorite, just because of its contrast to the others.

THAT WAS AMAZING

Brett when Eddy is playing:😶 Eddy when Brett is playing:🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Only the best of friends can feel the others adrenaline rush.

I like how they pronounce italian words hahaha (not so bad honestly but the accent is funny).

Piano sight-reading is much harder

my cat loved to watch this video

But everything is possible

a lot of these were supposed to be allegro

Lol idk why just watching this gave me test anxiety 😆

Eddy did great attempting FRSM!

Every time I come back to this video I spend my time wondering what kind of friend Brett is to let Eddy go on camera with his hair looking like that. 😆

I love it when Brett wins!!

if some of you thik this is difficult to do, imagine me, a 15 year old college student, balancing a grade 8 exam with normal courses... its been rough to say the least

am i the only one that reads ABRSM as “ah-bur-i-sm” ?
