- This video is about how to play two against three rhythms on the piano. In this video I give you a detailed approach to learning the two against three rhythm with specific progressive exercises and practice suggestions. Then I'll show you how to approach the two against three rhythm when it appears in an actual piece of music using Debussy's First Arabesque as an example.

3v4, please! Great lesson!
Thank you!! Great video. 3 v 4 yes!!!
Im 36 and trying to keep my piano skills up,I do consider myself pretty advanced but things like this have always been hard for me. I've wanted to learn Debussy's arabesque no 1 many times but struggled with this exact thing. I'm gonna give it another try
You can do it! Good luck!
3 to 4, etc.
I heard somewhere long time ago that you have to in effect let your hands play independently such that you don’t think about intertwining the notes. Instead you think of it as “I have x number of notes in the right hand and y in the left to play within a beat or a measure.” Chopin is a great example of this, e.g. the Fantasie-Impromptu.
Exactly!! 👍 That's what I was referring to in this video when I talk about making the leap to feeling the larger beat and spreading the notes evenly out within it.
Where a lot of students have trouble, however, is playing those internal subdivisions evenly in each hand, no matter how hard they try to think about it. This is why it's important to actually understand how the rhythms relate to each other and do some practice to internalize that relationship, even though you aren't actually going to be thinking about that in the later stages of playing the piece.
Because, as you correctly point out, once you have practiced and learned the piece, you'll eventually be feeling the beat and each hand will be playing the correct number of notes evenly within it, without focusing on the "intertwining" of the notes between the hands.
I learned two against three by feel, so I’ve been having a difficult time teaching it to students!! This video is so helpful, thank you! I’m sending it to a student immediately. 🙏🎹
Wonderful! Glad it's helpful!
Great lesson, Kate! I’m going to share it with a student who’s working on this.
Glad to hear it's helpful!
Thank you Professor ❤❤❤
I’m working all my routine (scales, arpeggios, etc.) with polyrhythms (2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 3/5, 4/7, 3/7 plus inversions) . It helps a lot for hand independence (patterns don't repeat themselves when hands go at different speeds) and with time and practice, playing a polyrhythm becomes as natural and easy as any other basic pattern.
Great way to practice polyrhythms!
This is excellent! As a guitarist turned piano focused, I have always been interested in polyrhythms. Getting the left hand of fretting to independently cooperating with the right has been a journey indeed. This will really help! Thank you so much for sharing your skills, insights and passion! I look forward to learning more! you are an excellent facilitator and coach!
You are so welcome - glad it was helpful!!
Thank you Kate. 73 and still loving to learn. You are an inspiration!
Thanks! Glad you're here!

Thanks Professor for the good advice on playing 2 against 3 polyrhythm. It helps a lot to me when I teach my students to grasp the rhythmic patterns.
Love to see your teaching pedagogy on 3v4 next time.
That's great! Thanks for your comment!
Отличная подача, спасибо!

Good!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏🙏
I love watching you play. You are so comfortable playing that your fingers are almost flat on the keyboard. I pick up learning piano as a retirement hobby and I watch your videos from time to time. No high hopes for me. Am not talented but I love the piano. Thank you for your detailed videos. You are one good professor.
Thanks so much! Glad to meet another lover of the piano. Learning piano is an excellent retirement hobby - best of luck to you!
😊 wooow its very helpfull teacher, thanks!!!!
Super, wonderful it is, I try, because I have great problem of playing ,8th, 16th note, 2/3 ,3/2, 3/6 etc. Thank u excepting more knowledge from u.God bless.
You can do it! Thanks for being here!
Thanks. Also, always mention which level of grade the topic should be appropriate, for example should a grade 2 student avoid this and wait until it comes in the method books for better progressive method.
Hi a blessed day this is a very good lesson thank you very much and GodBless you forever
You are very welcome!
Love your clarity and down-to-earth delivery. Thank you. I appreciate how you teach the math, gave us "not difficult" to say AND address the importance of feeling the beat. A multi-faceted approach. :-)
Yay! Glad it was helpful!
3 against 4. This tutorial was very good.
Here you go! ua-cam.com/video/gNnKFnqQjKs/v-deo.html
Very nice! I like this kind of 'brainy' stuff.
Thanks! Glad you find it helpful! 😊
Thank you for this quite well structured video (as all your videos are) ! 3v4 yes.
Greetings from south of France.
Glad you enjoyed it! Here's the video I made about 3v4. Enjoy! 👋 ua-cam.com/video/gNnKFnqQjKs/v-deo.html
So helpful! Wish I had you as a piano teacher in college!
Wow, thank you!
3v4. Thank you for making these great videos!
Glad you like them!
Thank you very much, your videos are helping me a lot with my mission to learn music after the age of 50 😊 Looking forward to a video on 3 vs 4
Wonderful!
Very, very good explanation, thank you very much! A video about 3 to 4 or polyrhythm in Chopin's pieces would be great, too! I love your channel. Best wishes from far away (Germany).
Danke! Schöne Grüße aus Indianapolis!
Thanks for this great video. Would love to see a video featuring 3v4 😅
Greetings and much appreciation from Italy!
Thanks! 😊
3 v 4 please! Such a helpful video. Thanks!
A great piece worth mentioning for polyrhythms, I think, is Camille Saint-Saëns’ Etude Op. 52, No. 4. It starts off with the “Not difficult” rhythm in only one hand at a time and transitions it to both hands.
Great one! Thanks for that suggestion, Jeremy!!
Great video, perhaps as a continuation you should show how they are played in each period of music. Simply put, the way shown here is only done in the contemporary and classical period. The romantic and baroque periods play them very differently, which changes the sound a lot. Performance practice is something more musicians need to be aware of. My teacher used the ‘not difficult’ method too 😂
Great suggestion! Thanks!
3v4 yes, thankyou
Adorei! Sim, quero assistir 3 x 4. Brasil. I loved It! Yes, please! 3 v 4. Thank you! Obrigada!❤
😊
3v4! Thanks!
Dear Prof could you please do a video on how to play , memorize Chopin aelion harp Etude? Thanks!
I’d love to see a video of 3 vs 4. I can get my students to learn the rhythms by clapping, then using various timbres, then speeding it up, but getting it smoothly into a piece is very difficult.
3v4 Please! Thank you Professor!
You're welcome! 😊
3v4 would be great!
3v4 please and then 3 v 5 !! L’Isle Joyeuse. Your videos are great! Thank you!
