Excellent video. It's a very clear and concise tutorial that introduces a fail-safe method of deciphering a seemingly complex and confusing page of musical notes into an easily playable (or singable) melody. Thanks so much!!
That was really good advice. When you first played the piece through, the time signature changes didn't jump out; it felt fairly "normal". So kudos to your technique. 😀 I was just at a concert where Elan Sicroff played a piano piece by Thomas de Hartmann. It was bi-tonal (each staff in a different key) and also had continually shifting time signatures. I can only imagine the challenge of rehearsing something that complex (and Sicroff nailed it!).
Thanks Gareth - it is always good to have a video on this; in music i have played in band I have seen quaver = quaver (in symbols) written at the change of time signature where it is appropriate - at other times (such as a switch from 4 4 to 2 2 ) I've seen minim = crotchet so we've gone in to double time. as there is no such marks in your score I assume quaver = quaver is taken as read. Moving to 6 8 from something else there is a possibility of quaver = quaver , or dotted crotchet = crotchet which is a faster tempo than before. The warning on even quavers not triplets is valuable.
cheers for this. I'm working on a Christmas tune for next christmas for my yt channel. this year I'm ditching the drums and trying to program a full orchestra. I had a guitar riffs in the middle of the track that didn't comply with 4/4. but I have to work out the time signature correctly. this really helped me. it seems I go from a 4/4 to 2/4 then 3/4 then back to 4/4. cheers
Hi Gareth: Another excellent video. Even when I think I’ve mastered a subject, I still learn something new On a completely different subject, I would love to see a video on musical expression markings, as well as idiomatic writing including articulations for various orchestral instruments Just a thought Best regards, David
Hi, I am playing in a brass band playing euphonium which if you know gets a lot of tricky parts. Not just technically which I am capable of but I am struggling with sight reading of the trickier rhythms. Any advice?

Yes. One just has to think through what those indications are telling the performers.
Excellent lesson🎶
Thank You Sir!

A pleasure. Hope your song works out well.
Quite timely! Exactly in my theory counting exercises!

Good idea. A lot of that is in our orchestration course.

Changing time signatures are most often found in Mahler's symphonies.
That’s certainly one place where they happen
