Why does this have so little views? Cant thank this guy enough for explaining in best way in shortest times unlike boring hour videos Much appreciated

[@alvodin6197]

Why can't teachers understand that every single concept needs an actual context or else it makes no sense. It's like trying to play by ear by only training single intervals.

Hi, I really enjoyed your video! It was very informative. Could you please explain the dotted 16th notes, dotted 32nd notes, and dotted 64th notes in one of your future videos? That would be really helpful. Thanks for the great content!

Good short lesson!

[@AdalgisoqLykaios]

1:12 in here you said 2+2 where did you got the 2 and 2+1 where did you got the 1 I don't understand

[@fiveminutemozart]

Because the dot adds half of whatever it’s attached to. And half of two is one. Therefore, the duration of a dotted half note would be the original duration of a half note (2) plus half of that (1) which equals 3 beats.

[@mohammadrajab8108]

thank you

[@無問西東]

So a dotted whole note gets 6 beats and is it the same thing as a whole note tied to a half note?

[@fiveminutemozart]

It’s the same rhythmic duration, yes!

[@無問西東]

[@leavethebasket7435]

So a dotted quarter note is exactly the same as a quarter notes tied to an eighth note, right? In what circumstances would you choose one over the other when notation music, or does it not matter because they are the same?

[@fiveminutemozart]

Great question! Yes, the duration of both rhythms is identical. An example of when you might use a quarter note tied to an eighth note would be if you wanted the rhythm to extend past the measure line. A dotted quarter note on beat 4 of a 4/4 time signature would not work. A quarter note on beat 4 tied to an eighth note on beat one of the next measure would be more appropriate.

[@giantcocokrisp]

A little constructive criticism: I think it's a little bit shady to talk about checking out the links in the description and not a single one includes a KZbin link, but instead it's filled with lots of ads.

Is a dotted whole note in a 6/8 or 6/4 time signature?

[@無問西東]

Hey! I asked you is a dotted whole note is in a 6/4 or 6/8 time signature.

[@fiveminutemozart]

A dotted whole note is the equivalent of 6 quarter notes, so yes it would fit in a 6/4 measure. And it's also equivalent to 12 eighth notes, so 6/8 wouldn't work. It would have to be 12/8.

[@AdalgisoqLykaios]

1:04 okay I don't understand in here half note has 2 beats + 1/2 beats from the dotted I search in Google they said the dotted has 1/2 but you said it has 2 because you said 2+2 the first 2 is from half note and the other 2 is from dotted I don't understand

[@fiveminutemozart]

So the dot doesn’t add just half of a beat, it adds half of whatever it is attached to. So in this case, because it’s connected to a half note it would actually add one extra beat. Half of two is one, and two plus one equals three, meaning a dotted half note equals three beats.

[@graefinvveldenz]

Please more (…) ❤

[@無問西東]

I have not seen a dotted whole note.

[@fiveminutemozart]

It’s arguably less common, but it does exist 😎

[@poorme1art]

I understand what the dotted notes mean, but my brain isn't braining when I try to play them.

[@Aniston-o9d]

As a beginner who’s just learning these things exist and a teacher who’s for some reason only taught prodigy’s this is exactly what I mean 😭
