These lessons on rhythm are the very very best I have ever watched .. So helpful ! Know has ever made them so clear to me... THANK YOU ! Lee

[@espressonoob]

My piano teacher always tells me to count out loud or even use a metronome, but it's so difficult to focus on so many things at once lol

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

Agreed! You will get used to it though and over time, it will become easy.

Hi, Why don't just use 1 e & a. like your previous lesson. What you think about StaffPad vs Notion6. I'm looking handwriting, sound, and easy to use. And thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@arthouston7361]

When I first started looking at music on paper, I found that counting did not help me much. Instead, I developed a feel for rhythm in my head when I looked at the notations. At first, I would get sheet music for pop songs (the British invasion era) and watch the notes as I listened on a record player. Yes...I AM that old.When I started singing with a choir, this was quickly reinforced. I could not count and sing words at the same time, anyway. Because the voice is your body's natural instrument, I highly recommend joining a choir that uses sheet music to acquaint yourself with how rhythm and notations are related, and let the experience help to integrate them in your mind so they become second nature. Some composers like odd time signatures, and being a a group with a director will be a life ring in those deeper waters. Good luck to you all! It's fun.

I highly recommend you take a look at the courses over on my website if you haven't already. These courses not only include instructional videos to introduce topics, but also include notes, real sheet music to practice, worksheets, and practice assignments to help solidify your understanding of those techniques.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A "RHYTHM DRILLS" BOOK.. THAT ALL MUSICIAN'S COULD USE, TO LEARN MANY CLASSICAL/TYPICAL/TRADITIONAL, AND UNIQUE "STYLES"!! MANY THANKS!!!

[@maxi.229]

Is it helpful to always write 1 e + a 2 etc. And not 1 + a when dealing with 16th notes? Because in the video you skip the e when playing the 'difficult rhythm'

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

In the beginning, always count 1 e + a. After you get good at counting, then you can leave some of the syllables that are being held over by a note.

[@maxi.229]

@@LessonsOnTheWeb ah OK, thx for the advice!

[@bhawnakatyal4150]

Nice explanation 👍🏻

[@Photologistic]

What software are you using to draw staff and notes, etc. Finale? I seriously need to get something so I can layout some stuff I’m starting to write, or even just transposing on paper. I’m pretty good at sight reading, but need to work at transposing stuff I already know into other keys. Your channel is great, keep up the great work, Tim!

[@MaggaraMarine]

Try MuseScore, it's free and surprisingly good. Easy to use and works well for basic notation. The software he is using is StaffPad. I have no experience with it, but it seems like a notation software designed for tablets. But if you are going to use computer, I would suggest downloading MuseScore.

[@Critique808]

Can you do a video on how to count on two different rhythms at the same time. For example, the right hand has different rhythm than the left hand.

[@Ehh0.0]

recently as I've started piano, I find myself automatically finding the time signature in songs I listen to, but with more complex songs it's much harder.

[@jace_Henderson]

I found myself using a metronome lately. Had to use my phone because despite my efforts doing research and looking in my pianos manual, whatever it’s saying to do to change tempo is absolutely not working. It’s set at default at 120 bpm which was too fast for me to count and play at the same time without messing up and all it winds up doing is changing metronome volume or the time signature and sometime nothing rather than the actual tempo. It’s an Alesis recital but my phone works just fine. I’ve been feeling a strong desire or need to be getting better in counting especially so I can get the rhythms just right. Another thing would be playing without the pedal because I use it all the time to keep notes playing because with the pedal you can kinda forget about the hold durations of the notes and only focus on the durations between the notes in the melody and I feel like I should get better at holding those notes myself rather than with the pedal.

[@hints8736]

I play beginning band with a Clarinet and for my class I need to count rythms such as 1 + 2 3 + 4 but I'm not sure where I put or if i use +'s is there any way to knoww?

[@Ehh0.0]

one way of practicing rhythm when not with the piano is using your steps while walking as metronome, it's very hard for me (as a beginner) to do different things with my hands, so while walking or listening to piano I practice my inner metronome with my feet.

[@TheSunshinedreamer1]

Hi, Tim I really liked the way you hummed over the 16th notes, because as we advance into three and four (Bass, Tenor, Alto and Soprano) parts for me it has been impossible with the addition of 32nd and 64th notes (especially 32nd and 64th grace notes and triplets and sixths and appogiaturas), I never know if these rhythms are correct. Also I physically do not have enough breath to count every single 32nd and 64th notes in tricky arrangements and tricky time signatures like 2/2, 5/4, 9/8 and 12/8, what happens if there is a piece in 16/8 time? Sure appreciate your youtube videos - thank you:) A video on this would be highly appreciated. Also I noticed the difference between how I count 1e+a... compared to your counting in the Allagreto (sorry spelling is wrong) Fugue by humming and yours sounded almost like there was this charming lilt that provided this alluring swing that I can not produce by just counting 1e+a... and I am going to get on the piano and play it along with you and then apply it to a piece in my Bach Fugue book that I have yet to play even a single note from this text and see if I too can copy you (if that is okay. How do you hum through 32nd and 64th notes correctly?

[@sherylmylan2524]

I can count and keep rhythm for either the treble clef or the bass clef, but not both when they have different rhythms. Any suggestions for doing this?

[@MaggaraMarine]

Learn the parts separately first. Also, figure out how the rhythms line up with each other. Instead of thinking the two hands as completely separate rhythms, think them as one rhythm and figure out which notes are played on which beats/subdivisions. Even if they are playing different rhythms, most of the time you'll still have parts where certain notes are played at the same time. Usually one of the hands is moving in slower note values than the other, and in that case you'll just have to figure out when exactly the notes in the slower part are going to change in relation to the faster part.

[@RinasSam]

How to avoid these mistakes (part 4): 1-Use a metronome. But some rhythms are nightmares such as poly-rythyms . 2-Use a metronome (Or your foot), and learn the basic rhythms. 3-Learn all the common rhythms and use a metronome, count in your head too. 4-Since metronome exists, use it. But do not use it for Chopin or _rubato_ unless it is for practicing purposes. 5-Chopin exists too. You cannot use a metronome during a concert. Use your body or your head as a metronome.

[@sherrywright7699]

How does sheet music differ (besides the obvious binding) from other. I keep hearing this and that about "sheet music", even though the piece is bound in a book. Confusing.

[@riotjohnson889]

How do you count half notes with the 1e+a method? Since a half note is two beats I would say 1e or 1+ BUT that’s how you said to count quarter notes so now I’m confused how half notes come into play

[@isntitrich000]

I think half notes are 2 beats? So like, 1+2+

[@ilovetomie]

what app does he use????

[@isntitrich000]

As a beginner I’ve been committing a crime of looking at the sheet music but listening to it on youtube when I don’t understand or am not sure how the rhythm in some parts go.

Hey I’m a beginner and want to buy a decent keyboard. My budget is $200 since my parents bought me a new ski set that was quite expensive they do not want to pay for a keyboard. I want one that comes with a stand, headset, built in speakers, 61 or more keys and of course a power supplie or whatever it’s called. Could you help me with what I should buy? Great video! :)

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

I've heard good things about this one at that price point. amzn.to/2FAjqcG It has 88keys, build in speakers, and power supply. It is technically $210 but you can probably find another 10 somewhere. Also, you can get a cheap stand for about 25 dollars. You can put it on a desk or table until you can afford a stand too. amzn.to/2DHmd23 This is the route I would take in your situation.

[@adaxterplays-criticalops8922]

Piano Lessons On The Web Thanks alot, Its no problem going over $200 I just wanted to set a budget so that I didnt spend to much. I Will defintly check it out :)

[@adaxterplays-criticalops8922]

Piano Lessons On The Web unfortunatly It does not ship to Sweden so I wont be able to get it from Amazon but I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to find it somewhere else

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

@@adaxterplays-criticalops8922 you're welcome! Good luck finding a good instrument. It is always like Christmas getting a new keyboard or piano.

[@Photologistic]

I’d say with that budget or less, find an old acoustic. Or, maybe a used fully weighted electronic piano. You’d be better off than trying to play a SEMI-weighted electronic keyboard. Those really suck. Casio is generally the cheapest around $400-$500 for a new, fully weighted kB.

[@ahmadrezahajsaeedi3508]

On 4and you should've have played D in the first example. Just a nitpick:)

[@arthouston7361]

I had to resist the urge to run into the next room and strike a "D."

[@fraproxy]

The clue here is the rythm itself, not the notes. Even if he pressed d it is not that important as how to accent the notes in a beat.

[@MaggaraMarine]

I actually think the D was a typo - he meant to write it as four E notes but actually wrote one D in the end (all of his other examples were only E's).

[@AceripXF]

so u dont play any notes on the quarter rest correct?

[@jaysant6958]

I remember having to learn this from scratch. Once I did, it became so much fun sight reading pieces I've never played before. And yes I have to count out loud every time lol.

[@guloguloguy]

IMHO: I CANNOT STAND THE "DISTRACTIONS" THAT KEEP INTERFERING WITH MY ATTEMPTS TO "SELF-LEARN" HOW TO READ MUSIC, AND PLAY THE GUITAR, (AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS).. I ESPECIALLY HATE THE SOUND" OF A "METRONOME"... CAN'T SOMEONE COME UP WITH AN "OPTICAL (FLASHING LED) METRONOME"??!!
