  • Ooh, that was so risky.

  • Welcome back, to another e—

  • Welcome back, to another episode of Twoset Violin.

  • Today we have another sight-reading challenge video,

  • but this time, it's very special.

  • Many of you probably know right now, in Australia,

  • there's one of the worst bushfires in...

  • ...uh, the longest time.

  • The fire has spread throughout regions of Australia,

  • lots of animals are dying, and natural habitats.

  • We are going to be playing water music,

  • to help put out the fires.

  • How does water music help?

  • - Well, we have 5 levels in our sight-reading videos, - Mm-hmm.

  • And for every bar we play,

  • we're donating $1 for the first level,

  • $2 for the second level,

  • $3 for the third level,

  • $4, $5, but like, you guys get the point.

  • We'll try to get as far as we can.

  • And of course, the tally will be the amount of donations

  • we give away, to all these foundations here.

  • Should we make it that uh......

  • We each keep tally of how much we donate.

  • - Sure. - Yeah.

  • Yeah, that's competition.

  • - Yeah, see who can donate more... - Who can donate the most.

  • Alright, we've got level 1 in my cap.

  • Dude, this is not easy!

  • - It's the rhythm! 'Cause you gotta focus... - Yeah.

  • - Speed(-up)...? - Yeah, keep going.

  • What?

  • How is this level 1?!

  • Nah nah, false start, the trill caught me off guard.

  • That was right!

  • *groans*
