THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I JUST STARTED LEARNING THESE THINGS (includeing reading musical notes) LIKE A COUPLE OF DAYS BACK AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS CONFUSED ABOUT AND LOOKING A CLEAR EXPLANATION FOR!! I am not even learning the piano, I was just getting to know how rhythm, melody, stresses in beats etc work in music. I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH! YOU JUST SAVED ME A WHOLE LOT OF TIME AND THE PAIN OF GETTING LOST AND MAKING MISTAKES AGAIN AND AGAIN. I JUST GOTT SAY I LOVE YOU FOR THIS AND HERE YOU GO, HAVE A VIRTUAL HUG MAYBE!!!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful explanation and method for visualizing time signatures. Your combination of diagrams, clear verbal explanation, and clapping made this click in a very satisfying way. I particularly appreciated your emphasis on details like "four quarter notes fill up a measure, or what's equal TO four quarter notes." That helped a lot.

Brilliant. I got a Roland FP 30x last year at Christmas. I've tried learning on my own and can read notes. I'm trying to learn a few Christmas songs for my 1 year anniversary. My playing is so choppy. I realize in part it's because I never understood rhythm and time signatures. It seemed advanced until I watched your videos. Hopefully this will help my playing sound more natural. Thank you. It would be great to offer laminated posters on time signatures and rhythm. Best videos on KZbin! Please do a video on how to set metronome to match songs time signatures.

Struggling to understand the 6/8 time signature, confused that quarter notes can fit in an 8th note space. Also the dot after quarter note makes it 1 1/2 beats, not sure how they can fit in the spaces. I expected rapid clapping for each of the spaces… I think I understood all the previous time signatures, probably have to watch 100 times before sinks in? Could do with several slow examples I guess,

@PianoteOfficial4 жыл бұрын
Do you mean the number at the bottom of each time signature? That tell us what TYPE of note represents one "beat". So in 4/4 the BOTTOM 4 tells us that quarter notes = 1 beat, and the top 4 tells us that there are 4 beats in each measure. 3/4 means that quarter notes still = 1 beat (because the 4 is at the bottom), but this time there are only 3 of them in each measure.

For playing, singing, reading I like the basic ones? 4/4 and 3/4 because I'm not a super advanced music reader but I like strange time signatures for listening...I love that up in the air feeling when the meter gets mixed up. Most common example is Money by Pink Floyd. I think its in 7/4 time. There are some excellent 6/8 rock tunes too. Rock drummers love 6/8. I also love that sensation of triplets. (3 beats in the span of 2) it usually sounds very emphatic. Can someone please explain cut time? I never could grasp it. My band directors would just say read it like 4/4 but play it faster. 😨 Its an explanation that never sat well with me.

Does beats mean how many times you press the chord? Like for example a whole note is 4 beats, so it means to press the chord 4 times?
@PianoteOfficial5 жыл бұрын
Not quite, but close! A beat is the basic unit of musical time. It tells how fast the music is (it's like the beating of a heart -- or what you tap your foot to). So in 4/4 time, there are 4 beats in a measure, and each beat is a quarter note. A whole note is 4 beats -- but instead of playing it 4 times we would play it once and HOLD it down for 4 beats. So we play it for the WHOLE 4 beats (that's where the name is from). A quarter note is one beat. So we would play that 4 times in a measure. A half note is two beats, so we would play it twice in a measure. I hope that helps!
