HTML-код

- This rhythm lesson is all about how to understand and count in 6/8 time signature. 6/8 is known as a compound time signature, meaning that you can count it in two ways.
If you are new to understanding how rhythm works, I recommend you take a look at this lesson here: goo.gl/mfk7a4

Re.
I am not a keyboard player but if I was, I would seek you out first. You have clarified the 6/8 better than anything I have seen yet and will apply to my percussion and recorder studies. Thank you.
Very good video, am self taught guitarist going back to basics to learn theory and found this video very helpful with my coursework 👍👍
I am a student teacher, and I am about to teach 6/8 to my middle school band students and this video was a great reference for my lesson plan. Your way of explaining it is brilliant. Thank you for the video!
I needed this for my honors band music, thank you!!
Honors? I'm only in seVENTH GRADE!
Me too but I am in sev grade and I did honors [ symphonic ]
@@Misty_Haze me too. i did honors last year and i showed up to my audition and i didn’t know how to play this. luckily they didn’t count it but i was like🧍🏻♂️
@@pelonmusk6463 no that’s wrong
I'm been fishing around for an explanation, this is the easiest to understand, well done!
How come no one could ever explain it this simple? This has confused me for the longest. Thanks for finally clearing this up for me.
I just want to say thank you for making this video, I'm currently learning Chopins Andante Spianato and that piece is in 6/8 and before this video I had no idea on how to read the piece. Once again Thank you.
The only really helpful video about counting in 6/8 time signature! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! I'm totally new to 6/8 and have found your video. It is so clear and straight forward :)
Thankyou so much for this video I am going to continue to watch more from you! I took guitar classes in high school but have been self taught ever since the last 6 years! I hope these help me to better understand music!
Thanks for this! Needed a refresher as it had been like 12 years since I had to count in 6/8. Great video!
This is brilliant. For the first time, I got it. Thanks.
Thanks so much, I've only started learning to read music. And this was really simple, no bs, straight to the point.🤘🤘
I pretty much started learning as well, especially 6/8. I agree that this has helped as well
Okay, I was getting so damn confused when people mentioned 6/8 was only 2 beats. Because my piano teacher said everything was doubled and I always saw it as 1 eighth note per beat so 6/8 had 6 beats, which thanks to you I now see that truly is the case but 2 beats is used by people who are good at counting in 6/8 and that I haven’t been playing 6/8 wrong all along. But even if counting individual beats is easier, such as 6/8 being 6 beats it will honestly be easier to start grouping notes into equal beats once you start having 16 in the signature because counting up to 16 beats per measure would be very impractical for anybody unless you’re like an hour one beginner.
This video helped me a lot understanding 6/8 time signature and also playing in it. Thank you.👍
I don't play piano but play percussion and recorder. No instruction book or video to date I have come across has explained the concept as well as this. I sincerely thank you. Your video breaks down the concept really well. Should be published as a separate book.
If you were to perform a quarter rest on the recorder in 6/8 time, how many beats would you need to rest?
Percussion gang lets go
TYSM I have to play Veterans Day music on November 11th and I got music that was in 6/8 time. I was so confused but thanks to you I kinda understand now! Lifesaver fr. ❤
Awesome lesson 👍. On point, great job!
Thank you! This helped so much!

great video. liked and already subscribed 🎼🎹🎵🎶
Hi Tim,
Thanks for the lessons in RUclips.i have one question regarding the finger number , as normally I use for right hand C-1,D-2,E-3,F-4,G-5 from middle "C".
And these will be vice versa while for Left hand side for bass cleff.
While coming with the more number of measure for I'm getting sometimes middle C and other "C" also whether I need to follow the same finger concept ? My question applies to all fingers including A,B .
Can you pls clarify this doubt..I'm little struggle with more number of measures and which finger to use for that particular keys.
Thank you
I really needed this
Only thing I would change is calling the subdivision the beat. There a 2 beats per bar or 6 pulses. But excellent presentation on a difficult assignment
Thank you so much!
Hi, great explanation for 6/8. So in minute 9:56 counting 2 beats per measure the feel for the 8th notes would be the same as playing 8th notes triplets on 4/4?
Excellent lesson
very simple and easy to understand 👍
Thank you!
So helpful!
This is the most easiest and understandable. Thank you very much! And dude ive bern watching yours video since 2014 😂
Perfect explanation

Thankyouuuuuuuuu
Tysm
ty I needed this for my hs auditions 😭
So I’m looking at a piece that has whole notes in 6/8 time and it’s taking up the whole measure. Wouldn’t that be eight beats? Wouldn’t the correct thing to write be a dotted half note?
awesome
How do we count or practice 12/8 or 3/8 with the metronorme?
hi . could you do a lesson on how to count triplets in 6/8?
HELLO SIR one qestion i have roland em 20 i need to change time signature metronome 3/4 2/4 , i couldnt change sir ,please help me ? how to change please ,i am waithing for your kindly relpy, thanks
What program are you using?
I got Etude 6/8 but in each bar I got one Noir legato with croche
I got confused how to set the metronome on noir or croche and I play violin Thank u
Where is the difference between a fast 6 4 measure and a slow 6 8 measure? Also, when a Song is written in e.g. Quarter notes only, will it make a difference whether it is in 6 8 or 6 4? I understand that you cannot group your notes in a 6/8 time, filed with quarter notes, into three 8ths or one dotted quarter, but I do not understand the musical and rhythmical implications of this
How can I count irregular bars, like the 7/8, 5/8, 11/8 ...?
or quintuplet swing?... Tanks for your videos bro 🤙🏽
Why again do people say the top number indicates how many beats the measure has? This is not the case. The top number says how many NOTES are in the measure. And in this case, because the 8 is on the bottom, eighth notes. That means there are six 8th notes. This indicates ZERO about which note gets the beat - that is was TEMPO is for! EVEN FOR KIDS, this misconception must be corrected.
Your video is good and helpful, and it does glaze over this idea without really describing it.
Is 6/8 in groups of 3 the same as 8th note triplets in 2/4?
Can it be equal to 3/4?
Is it bad if I'm writing the letter of the notes instead of being able to recognize them from simply looking at the paper
How to do I read a piece that is 42/8
I have a question so what if it's a whole note? Does it mean the whole note becomes 8?
Me watching this when I haven’t had piano class in 6 months 👁👄👁
So it's basically like a pendulum this time signature.. If I'm not mistaken.. Cause you said just count like 1 ... 2 ... 1 ...2 ... 1
So if im in 6/8, and im counting in 8th notes, there would be 6 8th notes, but 2 quarter notes?
👍🏻👍🏻
I'm watching this not bec i'm learning an instrument. But fir a frking school, and i still don't get the topic about time signature for few years now
Please demonstrate how to play sixteenth notes in 6/8 time signature.
The bars you show at 5:20 and 6:30 are NOT 6/8, they are 3/4. Both would be written differently in 6/8
How would they be written?
@@1ivyfallorbit A bar of 6/8 comprises two dotted crotchet beats (so two groups of three quavers). Putting a minim on the first beat (which is worth four quavers) encroaches into the second beat so it should be shown as a dotted crotchet tied to a quaver, followed by the crotchet. In the 6:30 example you can see that the beats have been divided into three, and 6/8 time is very definitely two beats to a bar
@@talasadaqa5452 Sure, it adds up to the right amount of quavers, or 8th notes, in the bar - the math is correct, but 6/8 is TWO beats in a bar ( 1 & a 2 & a). In this example the compiler has written it in as 3 beats in the bar, there are three rhythmic units there in that example: 1 & a, 2 & a, 3 & a. It all adds up correctly, as I said, but 6/8 should be written as 2 units, not 3 as in this example
Why has nobody mentioned the fact that the reason some consider a two count on 6/8 time is because it is the only reason for us to consider this time sig. over 3/4 time? I would love to see a comparison from the author. Thanks
Im not here for the lesson and all i need to say is:
*shiver me timbers*
3/4 or 6/8. looks to be a waltz at different speeds
thank you so much man . your lessons on yt have saved me over 500 dollars which would otherwise have gone to some piano teacher who wouldnt even teach as well as you.

I find this really confusing. I was taught that the crotchet was one count, the minim was two, the dotted crotchet was three and the semi breve was four. A half of the crotchet is a quaver and half of a quaver is a semi quaver. To count eight notes in four-four timr, you would say one and two and three and four and... It's hard to follow when crotchets are referred to as quarter notes - i would consider the semiquavers to be quarter notes as they are equivalent to a quarter of a beat.
How many? That's all that I'm asking.
triplets?
