    Best counting rhythm lesson ever. Over 30 years of music lessons and this has finally made it clear. Never too late to learn something new.

    Thank you, you really are a great teacher, I just want to say that I've alway's wanted to learn how to play piano as well as learn how to read music, and now I feel with your easy explanation in the lessons that you give, I will learn, and like they say, your never too old to learn, I am 61 and your lessons are making me much more confident that it will happen, so again, thank you!

      I agree that this lesson on counting beats was very clear.
      Like you, I always wanted to play the piano. When I bought my beautiful piano I was in my mid thirties. At the time my children were young, I was divorced and had a full time job.
      It never occurred to me how much time was required for practice between lessons.
      Because I didn't carve out that time the lessons were short-lived.
      Finally, in my mid sixties I retired and resumed lessons because I had time to practice.
      I'm now 71 and after a year without a piano (we moved to Australia in 2018) I found a wonderful teacher.
      But she's been on maternity leave so without the structure of actually going to weekly lessons I've become a slug.
      Fortunately I watched this video and am motivated to return to daily practice.
      Sounds like you're on the cusp of realizing a long held dream. You'll be challenged but with each accomplishment you'll feel growing pleasure and satisfaction!🎹

    I am over 60 and decided during the pandemic to learn the piano. My father was a professional musician so it's in my blood but I never took lessons. Looked at several online courses but yours was the best. I am a visual learner and reading a book just wasn't helpful. Your courses are simply explained with clear examples. Thank you

  • @TealTrump11
    @TealTrump11 5 років тому +11

    This is great! I've been thinking of a way that I can teach my students how to do length of notes. I usually just introduced what count or division you say with the note (i.e. I wouldn't teach e+a until I was teaching 16th, and + until I taught 8th notes. ). My way was fast but I knew there would be issues when it came to understanding length of notes. Having more than one way to teach note lengths is always helpful

    This video cleared up a few things I was confused about but I still have a number of questions:
    1. Why do you say e +a specifically? Does the e and the a mean anything specifically?
    2. What about irregular signatures like a 5:8 for instance? How does that work and how does it sound?
    3. What about the different scales like playing in A or E for instance? How does that work and how does it sound?

    • @Suiikwan
      @Suiikwan Рік тому

      They do e + a because it’s easy to remember and when you count it’s easy to count in your head too
