Always Count Rhythms Like THIS for Best Accuracy

Method for kids only

I have a question : if the time signature is 3/8 , three beats to the bar for eighth notes. Do you count each eighth note as one beat? If so, it seems that the time signature matters? Please let me .
I would really appreciate it!
Many thanks
Terry Wright.

In order to count 1eta on a single note followed by other notes it would have to be a very slow bps, or am I missing something

Honestly, this is the best video on time Signature I've seen since my search 😊

Thanks!

I wish I could give this more than 1 thumbs up....

I am a beginning drum student and I have found your videos very helpful!

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.

How do you count the dotted note for those examples.

helpful for me, i'm learning about drum patterns

great video

really good video

Great lesson

Great lesson ! And this is sooo easy to learning !

I have problems trying to count demi semi quavers even though I’m grade 6…

I just play the album...

Thank you!

Really well put video, I am finishing
The last of my music theory classes
For my major lol

from the viewpoint of teaching a lesson or also a repetition of mistakes must NEVER be done, because the brain memorize it in a positive way: the brain DOES not memorize it like "don't do it" but like something to do. That's way that in teaching ONLY the positive things must be taught.. never ever repeat mistakes, always only repeat the way to do things right.

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?

I’ve been struggling with this for so long learning guitar and this is the most understandable lesson I’ve seen for my adhd brain 🙏🙏🫶

what happens if it's 6 and 8 instead of 4 and 4?

Thank you very much. This has been very useful to me.

Thanks for the cohesive explanation. This will take some practice, but it helps.

The best lesson I´ve found on how to count notes. Thank you for this! ❤

E E E E

It's also a E

This was so helpful, been struggling but this made it clear. Thank you

Hi, may I know what software ure using? It's kinda interesting.

Świetnie wytłumaczone

How can i count 16 notes in 175 tempo?

Great teachings!

It’s so hard to do this on piano marvel. It’s like the time is off

waste of time to use this method. Always use the metronome for counting. Shift the clock time lever at medium speed. Start to count on the beat, off the beat. Better to sing note, breathe, exercise on and off beat everyday. Do it until you are the metronome itself, ie your mind is the metronome. A piano is just one instrument, there are dozen of instruments, drums, percussive products in the market with countless types of beats. Once you are the metronome yourself, all these products are easy meat to deal with. Never depend on the notes on sheets of paper. Do you ever see the drummer looking at the notes to beat the drums cymbals etc? It is all inside his/her head on the rhythmic beats. I never learn from teacher. I learn from my natural instincts.

What is the music notation software you’re using? Seems very intuitive and I’m interested. Thanks!

Wow! That was extremely helpful! Thank you.

Great job..it helped me.

Very simple, yet effective technique.

This is awesome! I finally have perfect clarity about rhythm. Thank you so much! God bless you.😃

I honestly feel like this was all decently explained however, I think it would be greatly beneficial if you just added a metronome in while counting out the rhythms. The reason being is you could confuse some to basically playing eighth notes as quarter note and so one depending on where the beat falls and tempo. I actually give lessons myself and honestly just watch this kind of content to learn new ways of explaining things. Sometime explaining things differently is really helpful. For instance, the one guy I'm teaching now is a carpenter. So in teaching him rhythms I relate everything to an inch. So basically he already has a decent conceptual grasp on fractions and what not. So relate a single inch to a single measure in 4/4 and teaching what subdivisions can fit and where they sit within the measure becomes fairly easy. Anyway, just something I thought of watching. In a begining I know it's easy for people to become confused. Adding a metronome would definitely not hurt. It's just a great way to show exactly where the beat falls in relation to whatever subdivisions. I hope you get what I mean and don't perceive this as me ridiculing you. Keep it up. ✌️

One ta te ta, two ta te ta,...old school. Very old.

We use this as dancers but I think we mashed it up I think we use the 1 as whole not and as quarter e 1/8 a 1/16. I don’t I’m so confused now. Any musician/dancers in here that can help me?

So a whole note is the full 4/4?

Thanks this is helpful

Helped a lot. My teacher told me only 1 and but your method is great. Thanks👍

Gets easier every time I come back. Thank you .

amazing good lesson. it will help me a lot with my reading and playing music. by the way, what software are you using to draw your scores? Thanks a lot
