[@pallavisreetambraparni6995]

This is very useful, however anyone trying to learn music theory from US using these youtube videos, I would suggest getting a good music theory book on learning or familiarizing yourself with some of the british musical terms that are used like quaver note, crochet note, dotted crochet note, minute not, dotted minute note etc because the music terms used in the US is slightly different. We are taught, quarter note, half note, whole note, eighth note, dotted half note, dotted quarter note so slightly different terminology. They are all basically synonymous and mean the same thing, but if you don't want to feel lost, then this is what i would suggest because music teachers in the US don't use the british terms when they teach music. They will use the US based terms.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Very helpful, thanks 😀

[@MusicMattersGB]

In 6/4 there are 6 crotchets per bar but 2 beats. In 9/4 there are 9 crotchets per bar but 3 beats. Hope that clarifies.

okay for those of you who are trying to learn music theory and are a little confused about some of the terms used in this video here is a little helpful table: US terms: british terms: quarter note crotchet half note minim whole note semibreve eighth note quaver sixteenth note semiquaver hope this helps

hello ! thank you so much for your effort and your lesson, it is very good and helpful ! :) my question is.... i really like 6/8 time, i play piano and guitar and just jamming as 6/8 time... my question is: it is compund duple time, because you organize the six notes as 2x3, meaning the emphasis is on One two three Four five six.... my question is, what if i just put the emphasis on beat 1 and count like ONE two three four five six ONE two three four? like Six eighth notes with emphasis on beat 1, because the musical impact for me is totally different

[@MusicMattersGB]

It’s fine to do that. Strictly, 6/8 has two beats but the first beat should be stronger than the second.
