Number 10 was crazy

[@user-qh9iw6tt1b]

100% agree

[@hiliasmoschonidis790]

It was easy

[@tianwang9004]

It’s not easy but won’t take to much time to practice. What I’ve done in school is really crazy, it’s not only a practice problem, but also a luck test.

number 10 is so easy

After a quarter of a century of playing music and a bachelor degree in music, I made it to 7…

[@travelthebest2676]

I am happy to get to 7 then

[@kjacko7359]

W learning

[@nvermr]

ive been doing music stuff for less than a year and did good until 6

[@Artemidka]

I also reached 7, I’ve been doing music for 9 years) it’s somehow difficult to read these rhythmes on the first try..

[@Hotle34]

I have played percussion for 5 years and made it to 7

[@allentowns7027]

Man i gotta practice those variations of triplet level 10 got me good

[@pastadrums]

I have not read music since highschool, 11 years of not reading puts me at level 3 and I cannot wait to strengthen my reading abilities!!

[@sadiesof]

Can ralate to this 😭

[@isaihernandez9019]

This sight reading was a load for me, but it's a good thing I got exposed to these types of rhythms. They look complicated but it's a bit easier once you slow down and count 😂 Hope this helps many more!

[@marktegrotenhuis]

Level 9 had me with the timing of all the syncopated notes.

[@aumava1]

Finally fell apart on the 2nd system of #10. Nice video, I appreciate your channel.

I have work to do, once again and once again....thanks a lot for theses exercices.🤗

Thank you for your information as a drummer ❤

[@MikeWalls7829]

I thought I was ok at the rhythm side of sight reading but I was messing up by level 7 lol

[@Lorenzzini]

Great, Thanks

[@varosolo78]

I haven’t read music in years. However, I made it to level 7. No t great, but not bad either.

[@pokejm2199]

Made it to 4 with no struggle than 5 to 7 struggled and 8-10 is no zone for me. I know my main struggle is any variation of eight notes and 16th notes. Hopefully I get better before the start of the next school year cuz it’s my first time in marching season

excelente video, saludos desde México

[@robbes7rh]

Good job. Easy things to read are harder to play in exact time and everyone can hear it. Harder things to read are easier to play because small errors in timing are barely noticeable. One exercise provides the full gamut and everything in between. Bottom line is you won’t be good until all errors in timing are reduced to nano seconds. Sloppy is good for chili cheese burgers but very bad for ensemble music.

Αmateur singer here. I got up to level 5. Work needs to he done.

Very nice

[@user-yr3pf6mp5y]

Playing number 10 is quite easy after a few reps. Sight reading it however was a bit difficult in spots lol

[@makermario6665]

I got to level 6 without any mistakes, 7 with 1 or 2 minor mistakes, and level 8 was kinda dicey, but I played 9 almost perfectly.

Great videos. From teacher to teacher, what program do you use for the blue beat marker? It's not Sibelius...

[@johnhenderson5564]

All 10 no mistakes! One of your first I didn’t fail lol

[@chris8081]

made it to 7 before starting to struggle a little

[@gastonpiget1034]

Up to 6 pretty much okay - except that I noticed I was speeding the triplets. From 7 onwards...they'll take some time figure out properly.

[@fluorescentlightbulb2653]

I got all of them without needing to pause until number 10 holy

[@burning_trash]

10 is easy on only the second rep, 4th and last bars were my only trouble sight reading but easy otherwise

Better now at #9. #10 is better but still tricky.

En primer año te daban esos dictados? No me quiero ni imaginar lo que era el 4to año.

[@jmcleguir1]

@@guilleleone98 tranqui no es como crees. En la universidad donde estudié, en el ramo de lectoescritura, gran parte del primer semestre se lo dedicaban a dictados rítmicos como los del video, e iban de lo más fácil a lo más difícil. Ya en tercero (que es último año que tienes ese ramo) te atascaban hasta las orejas con armonía funcional (conducción de voces, armonización, enlaces armónicos, etc)

*THOSE sheets sound weird.* I mean, in the parts with a figure above where you are supposed to fit more note lengths than the bars are normally supposed to have.

Level 5 :(

[@ofdrumsandchords]

That's easy. The tenth requires a few seconds before going into it, like you have in any exam. What you need is being able to play with any score, that's what you get most of the time. "I didn't write you a part, here is the theme/piano". Drummers should seriously learn music.
