Did you find this lesson TOO TRICKY and are looking for something that introduces you to rhythm from the very beginning? Well, I have you covered with "How to Count Basic Rhythms" which you can watch right here: ruclips.net/video/x3CK4-G5Eg4/видео.html
Your lessons are clear and well demonstrated. Would you please do a lesson on polyrhythms. Such as 3:2 and 3:4 etc. looking forward to your upcoming lessons!
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I am 69 and taking piano lessons, a beginner. You explained all these patterns sooo well!! Thank you!! I'll be going over all your videos.
Great lesson. I’m a seasoned, uneducated, drummer. I had a good amount of natural ability which means I could play a basic 4/4 beat as soon as I sat behind a kit. I progressed quickly and within three months I was playing classic rock in a ban in clubs. Admittedly I wasn’t playing it very well but in the mind of a 21 year old I was the next Neil Peart in the making. I thought that natural ability was a blessing. It was not a blessing but a curse for an undisciplined know it all young adult without a hands on mentor. Being 21 I could count and subdivide 80% of the time. (Product of Detroit education system) But what did I need to read music or even know what rudiments were. I didn’t see the need. I was in the army and set the kit aside for 20 years. Ten years of war and a good deal of ptsd and survivor guilt later I decided to commit to earning a living playing music. A great deal older and wiser I now see the difference between being good and being great at my craft, drums. The saying “you’re only as good as your basics” comes to mind and, being as cool as I was, I had no need for basics. WRONG!! So, I’m learning and becoming an expert at the basics so I can progress. For better understanding I use all sources, not just drumming and you’ve helped a lot. Thank you.
Totally agree. I'm learning piano and I just did not learn the basics because I was undisciplined or something and up till now I was too ashamed to even endure learning the basics. Learning with difficulty things that 7 year olds are taught is no pleasure for the ego but it has to be done😢
I’m a newbie to playing anything. I was actually gifted an organ. So, I’ve been taking lessons, for about 10 months now, to learn music notes, cords…etc. I had my first recital the other day. Scared to death, but, I managed to get through it. I’m not orchestra ready, by any means but, I’m trying. I really want to learn. So, right now, I want to learn everything I can. My main struggle is, playing the cords at the same time I’m playing the notes with my right hand. I am right hand dominant, so, it seems like my left brain doesn’t want to cooperate with the right side of my brain. But, I am learning, which is a plus for me…I’m over 60 years old, so, it is true…you can teach an ole dog new tricks. Praise God 🙏😁
Your explanation of rhythms was absolutely superb, you have helped with something that until now was a mystery. As for tricky rhythms you might look at trills and grace notes.
Hey students! If you found this lesson helpful, make sure to check out this next lesson on the "Attack Point Rhythm Strategy". It's one of the best videos on the channel and it is PERFECT to watch after this one: bit.ly/rhythm-strategy
Brilliant! Just started the tenor recorder a few months ago (at age 70) and was really struggling with tempo. You’ve explained it simply and clearly. Thank you.
This was incredibly helpful!! I am learning to read music and my brain was getting scrambled switching rhythms, this has really changed the way i think about rhythms, thank you
I LOVE this video!!!! I really struggle with rhythms, and you made it very easy to follow. To answer your question-i am playing a harp piece with 4/4 signature, going from 16th notes to 2 triplets and a glissando for beat 3 and 4. I've watched multiple tutorials, and this one is by far the best. Thank you so much!
Thank you Tim for the awesome presentation and modelling of the 7 Rhythm Patterns. 8th notes and 16th notes within the same measure was a struggle for me prior to watching your video. Triples is another area you clarified for me. Words alone can not express my gratitude for your sharing the lesson with us. 👍👍👍
This is the best explanation I have ever heard ! Your presentation is brilliant ! I wasn't sure how to explain these subdivisions in a simple way . I honestly feel enlightened .
Great Lesson! I used to find the mix of eighth and sixteenth notes connected by a bar confusing. Also, I used to wonder why it was always an eighth note following a doted quarter. When you break the notes down into the lowest common denominator and count that way it all makes sense. Thank-you! Your videos continue to get better. Maybe you could do this in other time signatures? Like 6/8 time? I see many of these examples in that time signature. Thank-you.
I have spent 2 days practicing a section in my self learning trying to figure how to play these with the proper rhythm and i literally just asked God to help me to learn this because i found i was anxious about it even when i was doing other things around the house, and i came across this video first thing when i searched for how to play 1/8 notes and 1/16 notes. This is exactly what i needed! Thank you!
I really enjoyed this. I struggle with 3 against 4, but I also struggle with 3 against 2. Mozart piano sonatas contain these. There are also times when he uses a 16th followed by a dotted 1/8th. I’d love to see you address these rhythms. Great video.
Thank you very much for this lesson Tim. Would you please make a video on playing triplet on the right hand while playing two eighth notes on the left hand?
This is so helpful. I dont play piano but trying to teach my dauggter recorder which i played as a kid and i never got the hangbof rhythm. I learned the notes and played by ear but it makes new music i dont know impossible. This is absolute fab !
To feel triples you can go with 1-trip-let 2-trip-let. I usually use 1 + a. But people can get that mixed up with a 8th note tied with 2 16ths, both having a different feeling. Its mostly preference, as long as you’re getting it to sound like a triplet and the notes are even. 👍🏻
The way I learned was with la and li. So it would go 1 la li 2 la li 3 la li 4 la li It really is different from how you count the others, but then again triplets aren’t exactly like the others lol. But I mean, it works for me >:)
The bar tip was great!- syncopation was always a challenge for me. I always want a beat to fall on a note or a rest, not in the middle of two notes. My count always goes off when there are sixteenth notes in a piece (1 e + a) and I hit a whole note and go back to 1+ . You have to force the consistency or it all falls apart. Thanks.
This video was really great and helpful. What is the most difficult for me are nor exactly triplets, but more like dublets? Those are marked the same as triplets but with two notes instead of three. Do you have any tips for that?
I had to take breaks in your course because its so overwhelmed. But your course is so good. Yes I always had problems with those complex notes. Thanks a lot
From my first trumpet lessons in high school in 1949, the triplet is one beat, and the pair of eigths is the second beat - (down beat on the first, upbeat on the second) - Easy in 2/4 time.
It’s great tutorial Thanks a lot ❤could you please let me know this app of staff notation sheet music are you using digitally to teaching?what’s the name of it and how it works any link etc ?? Please share for practice🙏🙏🏻
Now let's do this same lesson but in 6/8 time signature!! UPDATE; 3 seconds after I posted this comment, the next video that automatically played was rhythms in 6/8 😂😂😂😂
I think my biggest struggle(s) is when there is a tie from one line to start of next and then also any time 1/16 notes come into play. This video will really help with the 1/16 notes.
This was a helpful video compared to so many others because it gave a proper overview. What I struggle with? Playing and counting at the same time, especially with my teacher sitting next to me.
Thanks! I hope so. It would certainly be helpful if we had a video that tries to bring these three things together: - playing, - reading sheet music, - counting (loudly) at the same time, - and do that right. I certainly can all of these things separately. @@LessonsOnTheWeb
I struggled with these rhythms and have seen countless (pun intended) videos trying to explain it. But your method of drawing out the 1/8 notes underneath was a great help. And then I followed the rest (pun NOT intended) of the lesson with no problem. I internalized this lesson. Merci beaucoup.

I am like most early intermediate piano students struggle with Polyrhythms. Your lessons are very clearly explained. Thank you !

You are the best on RUclips at teaching rhythms!
Thanks! 😃
Wow, I've been looking for a good straight forward to describe how notes can be counted in time. Thanks, super helpful!

Good info for all. I’m a drummer and it applies to my counting too.
I struggle with tied 16 notes
Two 16ths tied is just an eight

Wow, excellent!! Thank you for this….you explained so well and provided examples for everything.
I am an adult and have taken several years of piano music, but falter when it comes to rhythm. Thank you so much for breaking this down for us.

Very good description on rhythm. Thank you.
I’ve been reading music for a while but your explanations were such a help to solidify my wonky sight reading 😂 -thanks!
Nicely done, thank you.
That was very helpful. I struggle with triplets , especially when paired with regular rhythm on the other clef. Like 3 on 2 for example
This is awesome! You're a great teacher. Thank you 🙏
Wow - The absolute best tutorial and counting rhythms I have ever seen. Fantastic. Thank you!
I've tried a lot to explain this (counting by subdivision)to my students, this is very clear. Thank you.
No, did not find two tricky, very helpful!
Your instructions are very dedicated and helpful, I am very grateful to you, thank you very much.
Straight to the point. Enlightening.

Mine is similar but more like 6 against 7. My piano teacher drilled those into my head and then my composition instructor drilled 4 against 5...

Thank you. I wish I had been taught these ideas when I was formally studying piano. I'm certainly glad to know them now.
Super super super super👌
I was struggling with these combinations until l saw this video.

Great lesson! Learnt so much from this! I have difficulty when the left and right hand are off beat from each other with eighth notes.

I certainly can all of these things separately.
