Glad I found this I was so tired of "and, and, and" making me lose track constantly. I swear every single bar these days begins with a dotted quarter, 8th rest, or something similar that makes you count in "ands" for the rest of each measure. This helps
I had done my Higher Local exam of the Trinity Colloge of music. Then medical college and post graduation happened and piano neglected. I practised my specialty for over 50 years and now having retited was longing to go back to piano! Now I have found my holy grail. Thank you, you are excellent!
Thank you so much for this. I have come back to piano after a 50 yr gap. (Now on Grade 5!) I said to my teacher that I learned the Ta, ti ti method for rhythm in the 1960’s. She said she had not heard of this, but instinctively it is a method I am drawn to. I had no idea it had a name. You have taken this much further than I originally learned and will def use this tool from now on.
I'm learning piano in Hungary (although I'm not Hungarian) and here I was recently taught the Kodaly method. We have a couple of differences however to what you say: on a 4/4 rythm for the half note we do not use Ta+2 but Ta+a, the dotted half note would be Ta+a+a and the whole note would be Ta+a+a+a. So no numbers needed. For the 16th note we would use Ti+ri+Ti+ri (although you did already mention they are some variations for this one).
I am going to practice reading music with the rhythmic language; it is so much easier to keep track of where you are in the measures! Thanks so much, I have struggled with reading/playing rhythms accurately for years. This will help greatly!
Thank you so much Leah for this lesson. Until watching your video I had not realised the Kodaly method was another way of getting rhythm. I despair when having to count as I lose it by the second or third bar and have to resort to finding a UA-cam clip of someone playing to pick up the rhythm again. I have been teaching myself again after a 50 year gap and have become rather paranoid about rhythm. I won't even try a piece if I see a bunch of notes together!
Thank you very much. I had totally forgotten about the "ta ta ti ti ta" I had learned as a kid. And, then you added all the rest that I had never learned at all.
Thank you so much for the method! I think you freed me for certain way. I always get lost counting with the 1 e and 2 e and way. Then i count again, lost in different bars!! 😂😂😂 these Tikitiki thing is really easy and fun!!! Thankbyou so much!!!! A wonderful smart talent teacher!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've been a musician almost my entire life (I'm 35) and your "count each note individually" concept is so simple and immediately useful it's blowing my mind a little. Thanks for all of your videos!
Oh that is SO liberating! Never have I felt the dawn break on an idea that pleased me more. My aversion to numbers was such a barrier for me to learn the timing and this is the best thing I’ve learnt this year. Thank you 👏
A good lesson for beginners, like myself, who have a bit of a hard time with time and rhythm. Believe it or not, I play the piano in a band, by ear mostly.
It’s even a great lesson for “beyond beginners”. I feel I have permission not to “count”! The ol 1-2-3-4 method really does take up too much brain space when slogging through a new piece!
This has been a revelation to me. I am actually a reasonable pianist but i play mostly by ear. I learned to read music and I can read music but my sight reading is not very good and I rely on playing by ear. Using the rhythm language is way better for me!
I had never heard of the Kodali rhythm language, though I recently discovered ta ti ta ti, that was the extent of my knowledge. Thank you so much! Should be fun working with it.
She is Great!!! Not to many teachers break-down these Rhythm like her. She is giving so much Great. God bless you for giving lessons that others are not giving.
Thank you for the insight. I helped or listened to my daughter’ ten years of piano lessons and practice and am now in my sixth year of piano as an adult learner and it is the first time I hear of this approach to figuring out rhythm. I now have a fairly good intuitive understanding of rhythm as I see it in the score but every so often I get stumped and have to revert to the counting method. This rhythm language is like a revelation. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
You’re absolutely awesome. I learned so much today even if I’ve been practicing sight reading for several months daily. Rhythm is always very challenging as music gets more complex. Thank you for explaining this.
I never used these counting techniques with 1 and 2 and 3 and...but this blows my mind and makes it so much easier for now. Thank you so much for your knowledge.
I really like this new language for rhythm. It just seems so much easier than working out mathematically the different note-lengths. There's just one problem. Perhaps it's just my computer (altho' I checked other videos) but, the sound-video sequence, altho' it starts out OK, is off around halfway thru the video. I wouldn't have brought it up normally but, when you're trying to coordinate notes to 'tah, te-te, tah, tah etc', it's difficult when the sound lags the video. Still a great video and I'll definately use this rhythmic language for sure. thanks
I have been able to get to the bottom of understanding the rudiments of Music and its application.Thanks alot for fulfilling my dream and also being a good teacher and Musician.
I loved your video I am a beginner and this was very helpful ... to get use to a music sheet and not get scared looking at it ... Thank you you are an amazing Teacher 💫💕
Great content and great presentation, been playing piano a long time and rhythm has always been the hardest part for me. I will learn Kodaly counting, that's new for me. Looking forward to more from this channel
While clapping indicates the initiation of sound for each note, it doesn't give sound for the duration (including ties) and does not distinguish between counts with sound and counts with rests. I have my students play the rhythm using just one finger on a single note (middle C -- or whatever) which gives the full duration of sound (including ties) and (absence of sound for) rests. This can be expanded to alternating between two fingers on two notes either using the same hand (as in a trill) or between two notes -- one finger (i.e. 2nd -- index finger) in each hand (instills a more complete sense of pulse and rhythm), or playing the rhythm over a five-finger pattern (playing the rhythm regardless of on which finger the notes fall). For extra "fun" using two fingers on two notes, instead of the 2nd (index) fingers -- use only thumbs, only 5th fingers, thumb in LH and 5th finger in RH, etc. (get a li'l crazy!)
Yes! I do this too as a next step between clapping and playing 😊 And with more confident students I have them improvise the rhythm on random notes - now that can really turn into chaos 🤣
@@LeCheileMusic Also -- have them play all the notes which are part of even-numbered beats with fingers on one hand, and all the notes which are part of odd-numbered beats with fingers on the other (I'm also a percussionist ... ;-) )
That was super helpful! I'm 75 and recently returned to piano after slamming the lid dpwn at the age of 14 as a response to a bullying parent who turned me off piano. For years, I've wanted to find the time and motivation to get back into piano, and the Covid pandemic created the alone time I needed. I found an almost new, weighted, full-sized keyboard online for a mere $125 Canadian and have steadily made progress. Recalling music theory from 60 years ago has been an issue, but you are helping me tremendously. I'm also trying to learn jazz theory, and that's a whole other ball of wax😂 Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🎉❤
Finally a teacher who gets it. So nice to hear someone who respects their students like you. It is amazing that some insist on a method that doesn't work. I had the added challenge of counting in a non-native language. All of the teacher's insistence on counting with multiple numbers was to make me freeze with processing overload. Similar to asking anyone to sing, learn the alphabet, do gymnastics, and watch TV at the same time without missing a beat (no pun intended !) Gets even more challenging with the 1 e and e craziness ...
Oh! Muito obrigada, por explicar que existem várias alternativas para manter o ritmo ao tocar. Eu estava com muita dificuldade de contar, simplesmente "trava" tudo e não flui! É muito frustrante!... Então vou praticar esse outro método de leitura rítmica, pra ver se fica mais fácil e orgânico!
Finally at last, a real, genuine, music and piano teacher. I like your demeanor, I like your teaching method, and I like the way you explain things. Easier to understand, easier to implement, and easier to enjoy! And that's just the technical side - can't wait to play some of your suggested pieces. I've seen your sight reading video and would like to see some more on "sight reading". For example, I'd like to know why my brain keeps forgetting the notes I've already learnt. Should I do more sight reading exercises, or should I increase the time I spend on sight reading. Does one have to know the "letter" of the note one is playing, or is it OK to play the note just by knowing the line or space its on, on the sheet music. Is half an hour per day dedicated to sight reading only, enough to become a good sight reader.? These are some of the questions I have. ( I'm a pensioner) I can play about 20 pieces, (easy to intermediate - eg, 1st movement Moonlight Sonata, Hallelujah- the Brian Crain way) and some other nice sounding pieces, all for my own enjoyment. But I can't sight read properly! Johannesburg South Africa
Hi Richard, these are all great questions, thanks for raising them! First of all, yes, it's frustrating to work on something only to find that it seems to have disappeared from your memory the next day, but rest assured, if you continue to revise and revisit, it will eventually become permanent. I love this Ted Talk video that gives some insight into how the brain processes our practice efforts - ua-cam.com/video/f2O6mQkFiiw/v-deo.html. In it they use the image of a super highway along neural pathways to illustrate the development of skills; to use the same analogy, when you first start to practice, it's like walking across a field - it doesn't leave much trace! But with repeated trips along the same route, the path becomes clearer and more permanent, until it becomes a busy road, dedicated to just that skill. If you're practicing sight reading for 30 minutes a day, you will without doubt become very proficient at it - just don't quit! Even 5 or 10 minutes a day will bring good results. And no, you don't need to know the name of the note as you're playing it if you're able to recognize it in the context, although it's a good idea to include regular note identification drills in your sight reading practice so that your playing isn't unnecessarily interrupted by having to figure something out. Really the most important thing is just the music, however you get there! I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying your music - don't worry if your sight reading isn't as strong as you'd like - you'll get there! All the best, Leah PS: thank you so much for the very kind tip :-)
Just stumbled across these videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge!! Just a small thing, but when you count through the notes there is some delay between your voice and when you mouse over the beats. Other than that, excellent presentation. Also I was wondering your methods with dealing with polyrhythms. I'm just starting to see them in some of my pieces and it can be tricky counting them out. Cheers!
Thanks for this, yes I have since figured out a better way of highlighting in videos, might remake this one down the line a bit! I’ll also be making a video on polyrhythms in the (hopefully not too distant) future so stay tuned! 😁
Great lesson! I found counting 1&2&3&...I'd keep going 6& and then it would mess up what I was doing when I realize. The method you used is wonderful. Thank you for your time and energy to put this out.
Thank you for this tutorial. I've always had trouble remembering the count (ever get to '5' when counting four beats, anyone? I do it regularly) so I'm going to try out the Kodaly system. It makes a lot of sense.
Thank you for this lesson. I think it is very helpful for me to understand rhythm and note duration for i was struggling for more than ten years to look for solution to this problem. Although i am a guitar player, this lesson leads me to better understanding and learn more about music. Thanks much and may god bless you to create more reliable video lesson for those like me whose looking for answers in their problem towards music.
That's great to hear, Vicki! I tend to go back and forth between the "metric" and the Kodaly ways of counting depending on the piece, but for quick reading, Kodaly is great :-)
Precisely. To be exact, if something is rhythmically incorrect, the notes are actually ALL wrong! I think a lot of folk musicians fall into the Kodali system without even knowing it because so many of the traditional source material contains this counting system. In guitar (and banjo, etc) , we have things like dum-chicka or bum-diddy to teach the basic rhythms. I'm working through a Kodali influenced site at the moment and it's a snap. Much better than the classical guitar 1e+a, but your comment about swapping between the two is right on the money. I'm surprised we don't get the metronome anywhere - especially important for Tum-ti! Once you learn how to actually USE it, it's your best friend. Thank you once again. In passing, I love the way you use our system (crotchets, etc) rather than the one the rest of the world does 🤣
This woman is a SAINT! Long may she live!
Lady this was exhausting! Respect
It was exhausting to make! 🤣
I use avocado guacamole or watermelon depending on the song for 16th notes. Pineapple for triplets apple eighth notes
seed for quarter
It’s simply the best rhythm lesson I learned from UA-cam. The Kodaly’s rhythm language is easier to follow than the traditional counting. Thank you.
Thanks for resurrecting me back to piano. Your approach is amazing!
Yay! 🥳🥰
Glad I found this I was so tired of "and, and, and" making me lose track constantly. I swear every single bar these days begins with a dotted quarter, 8th rest, or something similar that makes you count in "ands" for the rest of each measure. This helps
Fantastic!!! I'm the guy who needs to hear the piece before playing it from sheet music... Thank you!
13:02 stage 2
17:58 stage 3
21:46 stage 4
i already do something like this but thought it was wrong, and came here to learn the right way :)
I had done my Higher Local exam of the Trinity Colloge of music. Then medical college and post graduation happened and piano neglected. I practised my specialty for over 50 years and now having retited was longing to go back to piano! Now I have found my holy grail. Thank you, you are excellent!
You’re very welcome, best of luck!
This does really help with these harder rhythm counts. You explain it well and give options. Thanks.
You are Right, the dot notes, Different Eight notes. and the sixteen notes.
Thank you so much for this. I have come back to piano after a 50 yr gap. (Now on Grade 5!) I said to my teacher that I learned the Ta, ti ti method for rhythm in the 1960’s.

Wonderful lesson. 😊
My singing teacher today said “you have no internal clock” in awe. She’s so right so here I am 😹
You'll get there! 😄
Thank you for doing the rhythm language a lot of teacher don't teach
Thanks a lot.

A well explained video. The rhythm language is a new concept to me, but seems to work. I have added it to my practice routine.
Why haven't I found this channel sooner? This is pure gold.
Thank you, I always have struggled with counting, I think this is going really help me.
Thank you, you are such a blessing ❤️ such a valuable lesson in the basics
this is life changing. thanks
Perhaps the BEST music lesson on youtube. Absolute gold, thank you! I'm definitely going to try the rhythm language on my beginner students
Aww, thanks Lara 🥰
You’re absolutely awesome. I learned so much today even if I’ve been practicing sight reading for several months daily. Rhythm is always very challenging as music gets more complex. Thank you for explaining this.

Thank you! This is so helpful. I am new singing in choir and this is perfect!
Thx for the useful lesson!
Usefull? You've change my life in sight reading teacher!. Thank you a loooot! The written language is the best!
This video has been really helpful, especially the quaver and semi quaver rhythms. Thanks for sharing
Amazing lesson. Understood rhythms easily. Thank you for this lesson
You are a blessing
This is great, going to try this!
Best advice I've ever had on rythms. Excellent teaching. 😊

Hi Richard, these are all great questions, thanks for raising them! First of all, yes, it's frustrating to work on something only to find that it seems to have disappeared from your memory the next day, but rest assured, if you continue to revise and revisit, it will eventually become permanent. I love this Ted Talk video that gives some insight into how the brain processes our practice efforts - ua-cam.com/video/f2O6mQkFiiw/v-deo.html. In it they use the image of a super highway along neural pathways to illustrate the development of skills; to use the same analogy, when you first start to practice, it's like walking across a field - it doesn't leave much trace! But with repeated trips along the same route, the path becomes clearer and more permanent, until it becomes a busy road, dedicated to just that skill.
If you're practicing sight reading for 30 minutes a day, you will without doubt become very proficient at it - just don't quit! Even 5 or 10 minutes a day will bring good results.

In guitar (and banjo, etc) , we have things like dum-chicka or bum-diddy to teach the basic rhythms. I'm working through a Kodali influenced site at the moment and it's a snap. Much better than the classical guitar 1e+a, but your comment about swapping between the two is right on the money. I'm surprised we don't get the metronome anywhere - especially important for Tum-ti! Once you learn how to actually USE it, it's your best friend. Thank you once again. In passing, I love the way you use our system (crotchets, etc) rather than the one the rest of the world does 🤣
100% agree - the metronome is the best practice tool out there! 👍😊
Crotchets and quavers? Had to look that up. Excellent video on reading and counting time.
Haha yes, we use some quite archaic language around music in my neck of the woods 😂 Thank you, delighted to help 😊
