Dear friends! As a Conservatory Student, I want to share with you my journey to become a Rhythm and Counting Master! (well... At least I hope it will be so 🤓) I also hope that my videos help you in your practice! 👈 See you on my channel!
Thank you, you really are a great teacher, I just want to say that I've alway's wanted to learn how to play piano as well as learn how to read music, and now I feel with your easy explanation in the lessons that you give, I will learn, and like they say, your never too old to learn, I am 61 and your lessons are making me much more confident that it will happen, so again, thank you!
I agree that this lesson on counting beats was very clear. Like you, I always wanted to play the piano. When I bought my beautiful piano I was in my mid thirties. At the time my children were young, I was divorced and had a full time job. It never occurred to me how much time was required for practice between lessons. Because I didn't carve out that time the lessons were short-lived. Finally, in my mid sixties I retired and resumed lessons because I had time to practice. I'm now 71 and after a year without a piano (we moved to Australia in 2018) I found a wonderful teacher. But she's been on maternity leave so without the structure of actually going to weekly lessons I've become a slug. Fortunately I watched this video and am motivated to return to daily practice. Sounds like you're on the cusp of realizing a long held dream. You'll be challenged but with each accomplishment you'll feel growing pleasure and satisfaction!🎹
I am over 60 and decided during the pandemic to learn the piano. My father was a professional musician so it's in my blood but I never took lessons. Looked at several online courses but yours was the best. I am a visual learner and reading a book just wasn't helpful. Your courses are simply explained with clear examples. Thank you

This video cleared up a few things I was confused about but I still have a number of questions: 1. Why do you say e +a specifically? Does the e and the a mean anything specifically? 2. What about irregular signatures like a 5:8 for instance? How does that work and how does it sound? 3. What about the different scales like playing in A or E for instance? How does that work and how does it sound?
I’ve always improvised playing guitar. But starting to play keyboards last year being 50 I still want to learn . I ready to start at very bottom and work my way up . This lesson helps clear up how to count I will be following you 👍🏾👍🏾
I was confused in playing sheet music, your counting and attack points gives me a clear pattern to hit the key. An insight to read and play. Thanks and God Bless, A A Solomon

Hi do you give private online lessons? Also I am having problems composing the rhythms in my head. It's hard for me to put in on paper. I might be able to simple rhythms but when it's longer I have problems any tips?
This is a great lesson. So simple, but correct step by step instructions. Implement what he says to do in this lesson, practice it regularly for even just a couple of weeks and you will greatly improve. Ultimately a piano player must develop an inner sense of timing. Especially because you want to learn to use the pedals with your foot. But foot tapping and counting it out does get the body’s senses of feel going and that will help develop that inner sense of timing. Alternate adding some metronome work too. Start painfully slow with all timing practice exercises. Gradually increase tempo, but then go down to a slow tempo again. Timing is so huge in music. The great musicians always have an excellent sense of timing. But they have put in a lot of work to get there. Stick with it and it will pay off.
Listen I've been struggling so hard to understand time signatures I get so frustrated but you've broken it down in a way that what's taken me weeks to try to understand you taught me in a 11 minute video thank you!
Attention! I made a new and much better version of this lesson you can watch here: ruclips.net/video/fOjpTnNbZ6k/видео.html It includes additional examples, explanation and instruction to help you learn much better!
Really appreciate this..just started my first few piano lessons a few weeks ago and I still struggle with counting..and I’m supposed to work on the counting now and for next week once she comes back..but my teacher never really helped me with trying to understand how to count them in the meantime..
This guy absolutely DOMINATES piano teaching info vids on the interwebs. If you are thinking of buying his lessons then think no more. I can highly recommend him and his methodology!
2 weeks ago I decided to sightread more, and it helped tremendously. Today I learned one of the most important things in sightreading is the rhythm, and this helped a lot. Merci
Finally! Someone that explains this correctly! I just started playing a week or so ago & knew my timing was off but couldn't find how to accurately do so! Thanks again!
Hello Tim,a happy New year to you from across the pond in Wales, United kingdom. I'm 80 years old and a novice piano player. I've had some tuition but have had great difficulty with the 1+2+3+4 system especially when you get a variety of notes. Your tutorial has just.made it so much easier to follow the music, many thanks for a clear and concise tutorial.Jack Bowen
As a novice/newbie to rhythm and counting, I found this incredible helpful. I do have one question: does anyone experience difficulty counting like this for incredibly fast-tempo’s pieces, and if so, what do you do?
By far the best explanations of how to read and understand music, I'm 65 and have always struggled to make sense of music sheets, as soon as those sheets start looking busy with loads of symbols the anxiety kicks in though.
Whaaat I’m mindblown. I always wondered why sometimes notes would be barred together and sometimes not (and when writing music, not knowing which was correct). It was probably for the reason you explained!
Thank you Tim for all the good content. I keep coming back to your counting videos. I'm learning but slow . Am looking forward to more progress this year.

Maaaan, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU soooooooooooo much.You are a great teacher,I learnt a lot from this lesson. Respect from Papua New Guinea. I just subscribed.
Thank you! I have absolutely no music theory experience and learning to play bass guitar. Tabs are great but I totally understand the advantage of traditional sheet readings. Kiddos 🤙.
Thanks for the lesson. As an Instrumental Music Teacher, I used to use the 'American' terminology - - Whole, Half, Quarter, Eighth note etc. then realised that these names only apply for 4/4 time. So, it was back to the 'English' names, Breve, Semi-Breve, Minim, Crotchet, Quaver, etc.
Thank you for you math clarity! I have been dancing for years, my teacher always say I dance too fast, now I realize your Subdivision solve my problem, and also help me to count muscle movement without moving my feet!!!
Great video. I'm a music Fundamentals teacher and I'm always looking at ways to make reading more clear and easier to learn. I want to ask you what software are you using to write the notes. I could use that for my class so that I can be chatting with my students and present that to them at the same time. Thanks!

Oh my god I just found your page! I’m saved! I’ve been playing piano for almost FIVE years and I suck at music theory. I’m only good at memorizing things in the moment
In my opinion this can help an inexperienced player in keeping an even rhythm in the beginning. But permanent playing by counting these „micro timings“ or subdivisions will keep the player from gaining an inner pulse. I would recommend that the player should at the same time tap LOUDLY with his foot on the 1s, 2s, 3s, etc. This will help establishing rhythm and feel into the body. So that at best one day he will feel rhythm rather than count.
If you want to improve rhythm, you will need to use a metronome 80% of the time you play. Subdivision is a great tool but if you are actually going for rhythmic accuracy, subdivision won't help if you are not using a metronome. Yes metronomes are an unpleasant sound but if you don't practice with them, your performances will seem amateur regardless of your piano skill. Play a piece or exercise 4 times with a metronome then play it 1 time without. Repeat forever. No matter how much you have mastered a piece, use a metronome during most of your practice time. Subdivide with the metronome on or even practice your subdivision by turning on subdivisions on your metronome. But if you are going to try subdivision, do yourself a favor and have a metronome going.
Agree,also I have found counting 1/2 notes ,dotted 1/2 notes and whole notes works,but counting shorter notes does not.Having a feel for the rhythm allows you to play the piece without counting 1/4,1/8 and 1/16 notes.Can't imagine playing a very fast piece and counting everything.

Nice job I am taking music theory back in college an your counting lessons help me understand what I am being taught. You are truly being good to the music !
Am a beginner accoustic guitar player and I will watch this video many times to become super good at counting the Rhythms. This is high quality lesson.🙏
You really are a very good teacher! Playing the piano has always been on my bucket list. Also to be able to read music, eventually! Im 54 and my sons teacher said to me it's never too late to learn.
Nice for beginner students. A good foundation. I would add however, and point out, that the bottom number in the time signature does not function as a number at all, but a numeric representation of a note. In my middle school band class I will demonstrate this by drawing a few time signatures on the board - such as 4/4 ; 6/8 ; 2/2 - and then ( with washable marker) draw the number 1 with a line under it on the back of my hand. As I place this over the top number of each signature, the kind of note that gets one beat is revealed : 1/4 : 1/8 ; 1/2 ; Or sometimes I'll draw 4/4 as 4/with a quarter note beneath it - or 6/8 as 6 with an 8yh note beneath it, etc.
OMG, I could never understand the meaning of the bottom number. I’ve watched entire videos on it and it never made sense. You just explained it to me in short comment. Thank you! You are a great teacher!

Never like to count and people telling me 1e+a just sounded more problems in my learning and avoid it. Now seeing it Wow. Now I'm going to look for triplets counting methods. Thanks and it will help a lots of people.
This is great! I've been thinking of a way that I can teach my students how to do length of notes. I usually just introduced what count or division you say with the note (i.e. I wouldn't teach e+a until I was teaching 16th, and + until I taught 8th notes. ). My way was fast but I knew there would be issues when it came to understanding length of notes. Having more than one way to teach note lengths is always helpful

Best counting rhythm lesson ever. Over 30 years of music lessons and this has finally made it clear. Never too late to learn something new.
Agree! Simple and clear.
If I had a music teacher with 1/16 of your clarity back in primary school, I'd be a musician today. Thanks a lot for making these.

They do e + a because it’s easy to remember and when you count it’s easy to count in your head too
I’ve always improvised playing guitar.
But starting to play keyboards last year being 50 I still want to learn .
I ready to start at very bottom and work my way up .
This lesson helps clear up how to count I will be following you 👍🏾👍🏾
This is literally the most important part of piano learning that people do not exactly realize how important this is.

Ok
Same for me!
I felt this comment.
Me too. What do I do?! :(
Thankfully I bumoed into this. Made me realize how easy to count the beat with this method. Love this!
Amazing lesson. I never knew how to read the music rhythm before.
Really good information 🧡
N u are great teacher 👏👏👏
Just what I was looking for, thank you!

Phenomenal lesson and clearly understand what has been taught.
Wow! Thank you for that! This lesson helped understand counting the beats better
Thank you Sir great skill of teaching .
This is very helpful. You’re a great teacher. Thanks!
Thank you for your knowledge

Thanks for explaining the rythym in a very simple way.
God Bless You.
Learning to play bass,this is sooo important, you made it so much easier,I am taking lessons at 65 😊
Nice for beginner students. A good foundation. I would add however, and point out, that the bottom number in the time signature does not function as a number at all, but a numeric representation of a note. In my middle school band class I will demonstrate this by drawing a few time signatures on the board - such as 4/4 ; 6/8 ; 2/2 - and then ( with washable marker) draw the number 1 with a line under it on the back of my hand. As I place this over the top number of each signature, the kind of note that gets one beat is revealed : 1/4 : 1/8 ; 1/2 ; Or sometimes I'll draw 4/4 as 4/with a quarter note beneath it - or 6/8 as 6 with an 8yh note beneath it, etc.
OMG, I could never understand the meaning of the bottom number. I’ve watched entire videos on it and it never made sense. You just explained it to me in short comment. Thank you! You are a great teacher!
Fantastic!!!! Thank you for explaining!!!!💜🦋
Thank you! You have a gift for teaching!
Great teacher I understand..🙏🏾

This is great! I've been thinking of a way that I can teach my students how to do length of notes. I usually just introduced what count or division you say with the note (i.e. I wouldn't teach e+a until I was teaching 16th, and + until I taught 8th notes. ). My way was fast but I knew there would be issues when it came to understanding length of notes. Having more than one way to teach note lengths is always helpful
Holy HECK. MIND BLOWN. You have saved my life with this.
