Grace Notes

[@dawnjane]

Thanks so much 😭 I’ve been seeing these grace notes on a piece that I’ve been playing and I didn’t know what it was until today

[@sifugurusensei]

😭I came across this grace note and I just can't 'physically play it. It's F sharp to E. I find that move impossible.

[@Critique808]

DJ. ME TOO. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THESE small notes WERE. LOL 😆

[@cyber.shahriar1]

@@sifugurusensei You need to use pull-off.

[@nightdeveloper]

Thanks man, good and short explanation!

If you want to see a short explanation then go to livery park music

Well explained, thank you.

[@criconinvestments7723]

Would have loved to watch u play that

[@huangkosing1627]

thank you, teacher... before, i played music pieces on the piano but ignored the time signatures and the music symbols because i thought they were a waste of time. however, i realized that if i apply the two things that i mentioned, i can play the music piece well or perfectly. can anyone be a good piano player, regardless of age??? i wonder if those famous concert pianists make mistakes. thanks again.

[@LadyAbstracted]

Very concise and informative, thank you!

thank you sir

[@eelamite]

thanks .was transcribing something, i knew the pogg ones were different and knew they must've landed on a note, even though i'd hear it be explained in a rly weird way before. thanks for clearing that up, lol

[@paviwastaken]

This is such a good video and I had no idea what they were, so thank you very much!

I love them.

[@peacockpaula4723]

Thanks dear musician, I am wondering, is this grace note in front of a main note, the reason I'm asking is I tried it and when I play it in front it works easily, but if do it after no as though it does't like it; to be honest it sutes me better and I do it with my thumb but presumally is ok for any finger that is close so that is more flexible the action if you like☺. Thanks very much, interesting especially for a self taught beginer by ear, fascinating. Yes I got my answer I think seing the clear picture... wondering if there're exeptions. Thanks again.

[@runforitman]

thanks for the explanation I couldn't remember which meant which

[@wewatchmovies4446]

I was taught they were crush notes as a pianist - great blues tool

Thanks a lot this really helped!

[@ellieidk4658]

so in the case of appoggiatura, the grace note and quarter note together take up the length of time of just one quarter note, effectively shortening the actually written quarter note?

[@LearnPianoCompleteGuide]

Yes that is correct

[@RanIrons]

Is the appoggiatura on the previous beat before the quarter note in this example. Or is it on the same beat as the quarter note?

[@LearnPianoCompleteGuide]

Technically all of the grace notes pictured are "on the same beat" as the quarter notes. But obviously just follow the explanation to know where to insert it rhythmically.

[@RanIrons]

@@LearnPianoCompleteGuide thanks

Excellent!

good vid tnx

[@nigeldaring2737]

Question: if the grace note is in the treble clef, how does it affect notes in the base clef? Is the first note in the base played along with the grace note or the first note of the treble clef?

[@BrianMcGraveyMusic]

Once again, if there s a slash through the grace note, it will happen BEFORE the beat (before the left hand note, if it were two notes together). With no slash, the grace note is the SAME TIME as the left hand note.

[@nigeldaring2737]

@@BrianMcGraveyMusic thanks for your reply. Have patience with me as I try to learn. I just need to be clear. When I play the piano, I see two clefts, base and treble. Usually the base is for the left hand and the treble is for the right. What I'm asking is does the grace note with a slash apply to both clefs (both hands) if it's indicated for only one? Let's say it's indicated in the treble clef, would it only come before the beat for that clef, while the first note of the base clef is played with it? Or would it come before the beat for the whole music? And if it's without the slash, then how does the timing work? Would the first note lose some time? Would time only be lost for that note in that clef or would it be lost also for the corresponding note in the other clef? Thanks again for your patience as I try to figure this out.

[@BrianMcGraveyMusic]

@@nigeldaring2737 If there is no grace note on the bass clef, you wouldn’t treat it as a grace note. The grace note with a slash comes before the BEAT, meaning it would come before “beat 1” of both hands, for example. The grace note with no slash begins on “beat 1” (or whichever beat it’s placed on) meaning LH and RH would line up and the note after the grace note is slightly later than usual.

Thanks for the lesson. I think this can be applied to any music, not just piano, right? 🙂

A one off reaaaal

yeah im on sax and doing this lol

[@jacksonamaral329]

good.

[@ඞNeptuneඞ]

Are there grace rests?

[@LearnPianoCompleteGuide]

No

[@LearnPianoCompleteGuide]

However, There is a technique called “playing behind the beat” or “laying back” which could be interpreted as a grace rest at the beginning of each beat, or each measure etc.

[@tedl7538]

@@LearnPianoCompleteGuide That's a pretty astute comment, I'm impressed!

[@theralhaljordan7337]

second one is a lot easier to play

[@cheefussmith9380]

Also far less common

[@sifugurusensei]

I have difficulty executing the grace notes. My finger moves clumsily. Just lately I'm working on many pieces that has grace notes. It annoys me a lot.

[@tedl7538]

If you're having technical difficulties just executing grace notes, then you've got MUCH bigger problems overall with attempting to play proficiently. 😫

[@hananehakbarzadeh2034]

Thank you very very much💜💜💜💜

[@無問西東]

0:45 You need pronounce “A - ci - ah - ca -ter - a” on the word “acciaccatura.”

[@assemcrghannam5920]

The second one makes me feel like the quarter note is just split into two 8th notes

[@DietDrPepper57877]

I still cant see the difference between the 2
