Hello, Ma'am Angelika, your teaching technique is superb. I have already studied 'Rhythm Practice in Simple Meter(4/4)' as well as 'Time Signatures Explained! Easy Music Theory(Updated)'. All things cannot be understood at a time. I will read again 'the Time Signatures Explained' particularly 2/2 comparable with 4/4(when you say as '"That you will see in a time signature that is like in two two with the two on top and two on bottom is that it is twice as fast as four four times". Please give us more clear idea about this comparison . Moreover, you have told that these lessons are also applicable for Flute and Saxophone, but unfortunately not mentioned of Violin as Violin is the most coveted instrument and I am learning and practicing on it. I feel your all lessons are applicable for Violin as well. Your guidance is very much required for me. Please help if I can join "How to read music in 30 days" as Violin class.
Hello Dipak Dutta, thank you for your feedback and encouragement. As you noticed the lessons on music reading and music theory, especially anything to do with rhythm and time signatures, will be applicable to almost any musical instrument including the violin. 2/2 and 4/4 time look very similar when written out in music, or even the same. The main difference is that 2/2 time is counted 1 2 instead of 1 2 3 4, and 2/2 time performance tempo is twice as fast. I would still not recommend learning a piece fast in the beginning. We need slow practice to notes are correct and in accurate rhythm. This “twice as fast” is when you learn the piece quite well and speed it up to the performance tempo. I will try to explain and give more examples on this in another video.
Thank you :) great question! That is because this is the function of the bottom number, to tell us which type of note gets one beat. The note values are still the same in relation to one another. It’s kind of like fractions. I have a video that explains this in better detail. To explain better: a quarter note is always twice as much time as an eighth note. A half note is always twice as much time as a quarter note. A dotted quarter note is always 3 times as much time as a quarter note. Here is the link to the video I talked about: m.ruclips.net/video/lNXGzX1dIq4/видео.html
Hey Teacher !! I don’t understand when You say “8th Note” gets 1 beat, Quarter note gets 2 beats. My Question is: , which “8th note” will get 1 beat? Which “Quarter note”? Show us “8th note” and “Quarter note....... And don’t move quickly please kkkkkkk !! Thank you Teacher!!!
Hi Rwanda, the bottom number changes the value of the notes. So the 8th note gets 1 beat when the bottom number is an 8. The quarter note gets 2 beats ONLY when the bottom number of time signature is an 8. In common time or 4/4 time, when bottom number is a 4; quarter note gets 1 beat and 8th notes gets 1/2 beat.

A fantastic clear and articulate explanation, just like a university music class !! Thank you Angelika.
Kapil, you are welcome!! So glad to that you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking for this lesson for long time.
You’re welcome, glad to help!
Thank you for this helpful video!
Q: why do some pieces use C or ¢ instead of saying 4/4 or 2/4?
Thank you so much. Just Crystal cleared my doubt on the matter
Thanks so much for the explanation

You’re welcome!!
Hello , tnx for all u do 🙏🏾
why does the value of each note change depending on the denominator
