    Welcome to LivingPianos.com, I'm Robert Estrin. Today's subject is about how to feel dotted rhythms. What does a dot do to a note? That's a good question. A lot of people say a dot after a note adds half the value of the note. That can be kind of confusing because if you have a quarter note, half of a quarter is an eighth. Particularly if you're teaching piano to children and you say, "How much is a quarter plus an eighth?" You're going to get a glazed look in their eyes. So another way of looking at what dots do to notes is to say that a dot after a note adds the value of the next faster note.

    Play Ragtime! I learned that genre of music when I was very young, and it helped me a lot, to feel dotted/syncopated rhythms. Left hand leaps are no problem for me, either;)

      left hand leaps are still a nightmare to me it takes long to get ingrained.

    The 3 of the next speed was the best explanation for me…

    One great exercise is Anthony Wellington’s yardstick of rhythm.

    The first 1:37 made my head spin and made everything clear as mud.

    It’s like jazz. Feel the 2 & 4.

    Robert, what is the name of the metronome app you use on your smartphone? It just dawned on me that I could use a metronome with Bluetooth-connected earbuds when performing Bach!

      I am currently using Natural Metronome which is Android. I'm sure there are many similar iOS metronome apps out there as well! I enjoy the tap tempo feature which saves time finding temps for students. I also like that it doesn't have accented beats which I find to be an annoyance and of no help in most circumstances.

    I’m a guitarist- so hearing those 16th notes and counting them feels natural to me.

    The very easy way for that is 1 a2 a3 a4

      Actually, 1 e + U 2 e + U, etc, and only playing the 1 and the U is a great way to count dotted rhythms. The challenge is getting it up to speed!
