I agree that this lesson on counting beats was very clear. Like you, I always wanted to play the piano. When I bought my beautiful piano I was in my mid thirties. At the time my children were young, I was divorced and had a full time job. It never occurred to me how much time was required for practice between lessons. Because I didn't carve out that time the lessons were short-lived. Finally, in my mid sixties I retired and resumed lessons because I had time to practice. I'm now 71 and after a year without a piano (we moved to Australia in 2018) I found a wonderful teacher. But she's been on maternity leave so without the structure of actually going to weekly lessons I've become a slug. Fortunately I watched this video and am motivated to return to daily practice. Sounds like you're on the cusp of realizing a long held dream. You'll be challenged but with each accomplishment you'll feel growing pleasure and satisfaction!🎹

How does that work and how does it sound?

This is a great lesson. So simple, but correct step by step instructions. Implement what he says to do in this lesson, practice it regularly for even just a couple of weeks and you will greatly improve. Ultimately a piano player must develop an inner sense of timing. Especially because you want to learn to use the pedals with your foot. But foot tapping and counting it out does get the body’s senses of feel going and that will help develop that inner sense of timing. Alternate adding some metronome work too. Start painfully slow with all timing practice exercises. Gradually increase tempo, but then go down to a slow tempo again. Timing is so huge in music. The great musicians always have an excellent sense of timing. But they have put in a lot of work to get there. Stick with it and it will pay off.
@TealTrump115 жыл бұрын
This is great! I've been thinking of a way that I can teach my students how to do length of notes. I usually just introduced what count or division you say with the note (i.e. I wouldn't teach e+a until I was teaching 16th, and + until I taught 8th notes. ). My way was fast but I knew there would be issues when it came to understanding length of notes. Having more than one way to teach note lengths is always helpful

@johnbianchi38775 жыл бұрын
Nice for beginner students. A good foundation. I would add however, and point out, that the bottom number in the time signature does not function as a number at all, but a numeric representation of a note. In my middle school band class I will demonstrate this by drawing a few time signatures on the board - such as 4/4 ; 6/8 ; 2/2 - and then ( with washable marker) draw the number 1 with a line under it on the back of my hand. As I place this over the top number of each signature, the kind of note that gets one beat is revealed : 1/4 : 1/8 ; 1/2 ; Or sometimes I'll draw 4/4 as 4/with a quarter note beneath it - or 6/8 as 6 with an 8yh note beneath it, etc.

@mayiask6545 жыл бұрын
In my opinion this can help an inexperienced player in keeping an even rhythm in the beginning. But permanent playing by counting these „micro timings“ or subdivisions will keep the player from gaining an inner pulse. I would recommend that the player should at the same time tap LOUDLY with his foot on the 1s, 2s, 3s, etc. This will help establishing rhythm and feel into the body. So that at best one day he will feel rhythm rather than count.
@FreakinRocket5 жыл бұрын
If you want to improve rhythm, you will need to use a metronome 80% of the time you play. Subdivision is a great tool but if you are actually going for rhythmic accuracy, subdivision won't help if you are not using a metronome. Yes metronomes are an unpleasant sound but if you don't practice with them, your performances will seem amateur regardless of your piano skill. Play a piece or exercise 4 times with a metronome then play it 1 time without. Repeat forever. No matter how much you have mastered a piece, use a metronome during most of your practice time. Subdivide with the metronome on or even practice your subdivision by turning on subdivisions on your metronome. But if you are going to try subdivision, do yourself a favor and have a metronome going.
@lou19275 жыл бұрын
Agree,also I have found counting 1/2 notes ,dotted 1/2 notes and whole notes works,but counting shorter notes does not.Having a feel for the rhythm allows you to play the piece without counting 1/4,1/8 and 1/16 notes.Can't imagine playing a very fast piece and counting everything.

I've just gotten into music theory. I have been playing on and off but I want to get into the basics. People say you don't need music theory. I don't think so. For me, even if you don't want to follow the rules you still need to know the rules. If you want to break it fine. However, isn't it nice to break the rule once you know the rule? Getting deep into music theory allows you the capacity to manipulate the theory based on the kind of style you want. So this tutorial is valuable because it can help a lot of musicians. For people who love classical music, this is also important.
