Getting Started with the Takadimi Rhythm Counting System

- A short video on your first lesson using the Takdimi counting system. This has been a wonderful system I have begun using with my students. Our district has always struggled with rhythm reading and in the first year it has completely turned things around, especially when used in conjunction with Sight Reading Factory.
This is great. I keep failing at learning instruments because of rhythm. This really helps build my confidence. Jam on everyone! Thanks!
So glad you found it helpful! I recorded a new video the other day I had to trash due to an audio issue. I will be putting up two more Takadimi videos tomorrow!!
This Is the best lesson about Takadimi for beginners. Thank you
Great mathematical approach in term music...the Carnatic music system really superb...
Really helpful, thanks.
Excellent !
Finally someone who explained it easy
I am Indian and Adam finally helped me understand the jati system. Brilliant explanation. And all of a sudden I can make sense of the rhythm on score sheets. Can you please post a video on how to use this to understand 3/4 time
thank you for your explanation, class!
Thank you..
Have been looking for a video like this to learn.. Indian classical beats as I am learning Indian classical music and struggling with rhythm.
Great video! Looking forward to part 2!
Thank you!! With everything going on my focus shifted more to the technology tutorials but I will be posting the 2nd part of this soon!!
Didactic, objective and simple. Very good teacher
Thank you!
THANK YOU. IT IS EASY TO UNDSTAND
Really helpful.
Thank you !!! Great class !!! Looking forward for lesson 2.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it, I will work on it this weekend as I’ve told a few I would get it posted!!
Great , i will be waiting to studyi your new lesson 😀
This is great
Great 👍👍👍
Excellent
Thanks so much.
❤🙏🔥
I’m American and my high school orchestra teacher taught us this and it’s definitely more understandable than the usual “1 e + a” system that’s normally taught early in music education.
Absolutely!! I struggled with the counting system for a long time!! Now I am an extremely good rhythm reader but this would have helped me faster for sure!!
Very educative
Nice work
wuhuu! moremoremore!
Great
Excellent series of tutorials on Takadimi. I subscribed on the strength of these alone. I'd be interested to know how you'd teach phrases that contain rests, including some tricky ones, and syncopation with plenty of rests. This is where I always have difficulty when sight reading but Takadimi could be the solution.
Thank you very much and glad you enjoyed them! I am planning to do 2 videos on Takadimi this weekend as it’s been a little while but will definitely cover that. I also want to do some with some mixed meters and have it on my list!
@@AdamOnTech Thanks so much for the reply, and I look forward to the new Takadimi tutorials. Best Regards, K
Thanks
It has helped
Question. When playing a two handed instrument, 3/4 time. Dotted half note in the right hand. Three quarter notes in the left. Do you count ta a a or ta ta ta ?
Interesting question, I would say do what feels more natural and easier for you. If it was myself playing I would do Ta Ta Ta as it would better allow me to stay in time for the quarter notes.
Do you think this is more efficient compared to the traditional " 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a " counting system?
I use the counting system but have just found students have a really tough time grasping it. I switched to Takadimi and sections that used to take us weeks only take a rehearsal or two. They just get it faster and understand it so they can then apply it. I’m all about using what works, if counting works better, go with it, but I am finding more with my own students this is so much better. We can finally spend more time on making music instead of hammering rhythms!
Excellent job! Thanks a a lot Adam! Would you create some exercises for us on pdf format? It would be marvelous.... :)
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. We are in our final 2 weeks of school but I will work on that in the coming weeks once we are out for summer!
@@AdamOnTech Okay, good luck, Adam! Thx
do i need to say "a" when its off beat? for example: "ta mi di ka". do i need to say the 'a' between mi and di and ka or just go without saying it? this have been struggling me quite much recently. an answer would be very much appreciated!
The "a" is not used in Takadimi so you don't need to say it. The "a" is used in the traditional number counting like 1 e + a.
Thanks very much sir for this lesson and please provide how to read notes on a trumpet or saxophone.
I would good Sax or trumpet fingering chart, that will show you and lots of choices !
How do you count with dotted quarter and dotted eighth notes?
I will create a video on those rhythms as it would be a bit tricky to explain through a comment..lol. Will try to get that up this weekend!! Thanks for the question!!
How does it work with triplets
Obrigado pelas dicas p estudante de sax professor boas orientações
Bre'sil Merci sylvuple
Vielen Dank für die freundlichen Worte und froh, dass Sie es hilfreich fanden!
It's way better than that "1 e and a" tongue twister shit
Should expand n expose to the world ...the Carnatic music system
I actually have never heard of it, any good resources for more info?

What about rests?
I will have a video up tonight or tomorrow that will talk about rests and show some more examples using a wind instrument instead of a drum. I had the video all set to go the other day but the audio was completely corrupted so had to throw out the entire video..lol. Hoping to re-record it this evening!
Thought the second 8th note was always “ka”?
The second 8th note is Di, Ka is the second 16th note.
great vid but waaaay too many unskippable ads ;(
Thank you and I’ll see if I can do something about the un-skippable ads!!
I don't much like the fact that 'Ta' can be a quarter note OR and eight note. I much prefer quarter notes = ta and eights = ti (tee). With kids age 10-12, I go straight to using numbers ( 1and, 2 and, 3e and a , 4), because the numbers help them keep track of where they are much more easily.
That’s why I really like having options as you can find what works best for your situation and go with it. I taught the number counting for about 13 years and the students just struggled with it. I think it also can come down to how often you see the students. I only had them once a week for an hour which brings in a number of issues.
When I switched to Takadimi it just clicked for students and they really started to understand how to read and play rhythms on their own. I prefer the Ta starting everything because that is always the start of the beat.
