Spencer Rubin Story of November 13, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

24 Hours as a Juilliard Student 🎵 #shorts

What did you think?

Making the reed is serious work. Choosing its thread allows a little coordination: "Thread of the day matches my shirt," Spencer Rubin says, midway through an afternoon of scraping, shaping, binding and play-testing.

That desk session gets a generous share of "24 Hours as a Juilliard Student 🎵 #shorts", his only upload this week. The miniature vlog has reached about 190,000 views, taking readers from iced coffee through orchestra rehearsal, lessons and listening class. Editing a video fits between appointments. Teaching comes later, followed by practice when his eyes are, as he puts it, "shutting on their own." Somehow, a Peloton ride makes the schedule too.

The reed-making has given viewers something specific to ask about: why keep making more when the case already contains several? Others propose a crossover with ballerinas preparing pointe shoes, or request a video devoted to the sounds of reed-making. Behind the performance, there is clearly an audience for the preparation.

The new Short accounts for most of the channel's daily viewing right now. Older uploads "Are Classical Musicians Athletes?? 🤔 #shorts" and "Only A Classical Musician Would Say This... #shorts 🎻" continue picking up views at a gentler pace. Channel-wide daily views are a little above usual, while the subscriber count finished the week unchanged. For Rubin, the busiest new story is the working day itself, including the equipment he has to make before he can play.

What viewers say

Why are you constantly making reeds if you have so many in the case? Just curious.

I'd love to see a crossover between clarinet/oboe players making reeds and ballerinas preparing pointe shoes. I get the sense both art forms spend a lot of time doing these prep activities.
