Upbeats and Downbeats //what is an upbeat?

Upbeats and downbeats. What are upbeats? What are downbeats? In this video you will learn the official definition, a quick explanation of upbeats and downbeats and why it is important for you to know as a musician. In one of my other videos on music theory, I got asked to do a video on upbeats and downbeats. By this request, I made this quick and informative video. If you have any questions for me on music theory, or beginning music concepts, please comment down below. Thank you for watching Upbeats and Downbeats!

I've look up this information on many occasions and was utterly lost. You explained this in 3 minutes and 32 seconds and in a way that is easily understood. Thank you.

[@77sincere94]

The editing and explanation in this video was so on point and was very understandable once again thank you from my heart ❤️

[@PracticalPianoTips]

You’re very welcome ☺️

I've been watching a bunch of these videos and none of them answered the "why". My piano book makes more sense now. This is exactly what I needed in a perfect little video that didn't take an hour to watch. Thank you.

[@PracticalPianoTips]

I’m so glad this was helpful!

[@michaelelliott4224]

Thank you so much for explaining to me where the up and down beats are. Now I can play the proper techniques of the 4 stroke types on the 🥁 snare drum.

Wow your audio in this video is super crisp and clear! Did you make any changes recently? This is super interesting and very visually interactive. Congratulations on reaching 1,000 subscribers! I’m so happy for you as you deserve it and sooo much more Angelika! I can’t wait for more people to find out about you and how brilliant you are!

[@PracticalPianoTips]

Thank you for noticing Jane! ❤️ I was very close to the microphone this time. Usually I’m further from the mic, so I think that makes the sound so much worse. I need to figure out how to make it close when I use both piano and voice though.
And thank you so much!! I’m definitely excited to reach this big milestone!!

So the downbeat gives a sense of start to the music and the upbeat gives a lift to the song that is trying to resolve into the downbeat
