Thank you so much for the kind words! I recorded this a while back, but I’m imagining I wrote in fingerings and current speeds I worked sections up to for reference later. Hope this helps! Thanks again for watching ❤️

Lol, I’ve come to think of it as ripping off the band-aid to get a piece learned as quickly as possible and get to sounding awesome sooner haha

Hahahaha

Hahahaha thank you ❤️ You might like the piece better in its final performance shape, though it’s definitely not a piece for everyone 😊. I recorded it once I finished learning it if you’d like to check it out: "Juba Dance" by Nathaniel Dett, performed by Jonathan Roberts ruclips.net/video/5Pz7jf2EC14/видео.html

Thank you so much!!!

My pleasure, thank you so much for watching!!!

Lol, use with caution

Thank you for your kind comment and feedback. In the future I’ll make a point to note that deviations are possible, but if you’re going to change from two groups of three to say, three groups of two prolonged, then you’re not really in 6/8 time anymore, but rather 3/4 time. It’s the natural emphasis of strong versus weak beats in western music. And other groupings like 4 and 2 are more suited to changing meters. Thank you again for the dialogue.

@@SouthShorePianoSchool It's very clear to me you don't actually know how to use time signatures. 6/8 gives you six eighth notes that you can group however you like, whereas 3/4 constricts you to three quarter notes. If you were to write a tune that changes between subdivisions of two and three, you wouldn't change the metre every measure. I mean, _you_ might, but it would be wrong, because it's very bloated and the point of notation is to be as clear as possible. And just wait till you hear about odd time signatures! You wouldn't notate 7/8 as alternating 2/8 and 3/8. If the subdivisions aren't clear from your notation, you first of all need to rethink whether you notated it correctly, but you can just write the instruction above the score. The only situation in which it is correct to change the time signature to one with an identical number of beats is when you're changing the feel for a whole section. Maybe learn about how to actually use time signatures before opening your mouth about them.

You're an obnoxious egomaniac. Yes, 6/8 has many possible subdivision, like any other time signature, but this is a tutorial video. A video with the purpose of introducing someone to playing in a time signature. The most common subdivision of 6/8 is two groupings of three notes, so that is the most obvious to start with. You wouldn't teach someone 4/4 for the first time with a 3-3-2 subdivision, now would you? Just because someone simplifies something for a tutorial does not mean they "don't know anything" about the subject. Get the hell off your high horse, and get a life.

​@@SouthShorePianoSchoolIgnore this guy, he's an obnoxious egomaniac. A tutorial is made with the purpose of simplification, of showing people the most obvious application of a concept first, and then explaining exceptions later on. This guy surely is criticizing just for the sake of an ego boost rather than out of a genuiene desire to share information.

Thanks for your comment! While I appreciate your passion for music theory, I’d like to clarify my point regarding 6/8 time. In 6/8, the time signature is indeed made up of six eighth notes, but it’s most often conducted and felt in two beats per measure, with each beat grouping three eighth notes together. This is known as compound duple meter. Your point about flexibility in grouping is valid for certain contexts, but in common usage, especially in traditional music, 6/8 is almost always felt as two beats with a subdivision of three (1-2-3, 4-5-6). This distinction is important because it gives 6/8 its characteristic flow, differentiating it from simple meters like 3/4. It’s great that you brought up complex and odd time signatures as they do offer fascinating exceptions, but I’m speaking specifically about the general feel of 6/8 in most musical settings.

Thank you!

Sure! 😊❤️

What I meant was the distance from the first note of a scale to the second note of a scale is a major second, regardless of whether it’s a major or minor scale.

Going back and checking the video, I believe I was clear on that…was there an incorrect term or wording I used? Always open to feedback.

@@SouthShorePianoSchool there are many major scales and there are many minor scales, only a select few have a natural second as the first interval

@@404no57 Every single major and minor scale has a major second (whole step) going from the first note to the second note. If I’m wrong, please give me one example. Now, if you’re referring to modes or other more eclectic scales, then that’s correct, some may start with a half step. But major and minor, by definition, starts with a whole step, or major second. If I’m wrong, please share an example

Yes! We call them “enharmonic scales,” B major and C-flat major. There are three pairs of enharmonic keys on the circle of fifths 😊

@@SouthShorePianoSchool thanks

@@asherwilliams9969 sure thing!

Thank you!

Thank YOU! 😊

Thank you! I’ll keep that in mind for future videos 😊❤️

Thank you!

Thank you, I’ll consider that in my choice of wording in the future 😊

Will continue working on that, thank you!

Thank you for the feedback! Would a longer-form video at a slower pace be better for this?

Thank you so much for your kind comment, so glad you found it helpful! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much!!! Looking forward to having you with us 😊

Thank you, so glad you found it helpful!

Awesome, so glad you found it helpful!

It reminds me of second waltz

Thank you! I’ve worked on this in my more recent videos, once I realized the 59-second limit is longer than I think lol. Hope you’ll come back! ❤️

@SouthShorePianoSchool Of course, I'll come back. You already got me as a follower and an intent learner. Most of all, I am glad you realize that my comment is constructive criticism and not me being rude. Thanks for everything. I'll look at your newer vids, and hopefully I'll notice the improvement.

Um…thank you…? Lol

Thank you lol! (Did you end up watching the whole thing…? Lol)

@@SouthShorePianoSchool yes! 😁

Aww that makes me happy TY ❤️

I know…I’ve improved on this in my more recent videos if you’ll give me another chance? When I first started RUclips shorts I think I was a little panicked about the time limit 😉🥹

Thanks for watching!

Thank YOU!!! So appreciated ❤️😊

Awesome, thank you! Glad you liked it 😊❤️

Thank you!! 😊

Thank you!

This is a Steinway Model L 😊

@@SouthShorePianoSchool thank you 😄

Thank you so much, I’m so happy you found it helpful!! ❤️❤️

Lol awesome

What should the alternative be?

@@SouthShorePianoSchool idk something simplier easier to grasp. All this sharps and flats give me a headache

@@Mustang_99 I don't think it's that hard, maybe you should give it another go

@@Mustang_99I mean would you rather it be C+ and C-? Or should we just have a unique name for every note, so instead of 7 letters you have to learn 12? That’s really the only two options I can think of and one is the same thing and the other is way more complicated

@@ChunkyKong-47 why does Octave start with C and not A? Its confusing. Why C# also has to be Db? It's 2 different names for the same 1 note and its annoying. If we decide do call notes by number (I mean IVth chord because It's made from 4th note in the key), then why we use letters to name them? Couldnt they be named 1 2 3 4...etc, and sharps could be 1.5, 2,5? It's more intuitive in my opinion

You’re welcome!
