Thank you!! I have struggled for years with my students and rhythms, they just didn’t get it. I went with the usual tricks of using thing like hot dog for two eight notes, mud for quarter notes but it didn’t work for more advanced rhythms. I also like that Ta is always the beat. It’s been so fun seeing the kids start to really get it. Now…if we could just have concerts again…lol
I really appreciate your takadimi lessons. I used to have my own system (ta fé té fi instead of ta ka di mi) but I think I'll try takadimi seriously because it is more efficient, audibly speaking, I mean. Thanks again.
Great video…. This is so helpful… I never liked the 1e&a2e … please do a syncopation takadimi lesson if you can…. I realize how it should work but need examples to practice to improve my rhythm reading
Just posted a video that covered rests and triplets! I will be adding one in the near future on tied notes, 32nd notes, and a few others! I am going to do a few videos next that takes what I have covered in all of my previous video and just go through multiple examples using different instruments to demonstrate.
Hi Adam, I'm an elementary school teacher and I happen to have to teach music this year. I've followed many of your videos on the Takadimi method and I like it very much. I'm working on a song that has dotted quarter notes (Title: Do Re Mi from the sound of music - Do a deer a female deer...) Could you please assist me with putting the ta and the di on a dotted quarter note followed by an eight note. Do you already have a video on this question? Thanks a lot. Kyong
The way I do it with my students is Ta-a Di Ta. The Ta is the quarter, the a is the dot of the quarter and the Di is the following 8th note. Not the easiest to write out but if you still are not sure let me know!!
TakaDimi is a great way to the rhythm counting! But right now I still have problems with 32 notes in a measure, for example, in the sheet of Canon in D for piano, there are some measures that have 32nd notes, and I feel confused with the rhythm counting with that notes. Could you help me?
This is when you need to get creative a bit, one of the solutions I have seen is Takadimi Takajuno. After playing around with it for a bit it does work well. Definitely takes a bit of practice though!
I have it in my plans for this weekend! I am planning to do 2 videos on Takadimi this weekend, one I will cover triplets and the other just showing more examples of what has been covered but in different situations!
Two observations: first the dotted 8th & 16th combo doesn't "sound" for the duration of the 8th note. - se when you reverse them. Second, to me, the drum pad cannot accurately mimic the above situations. I believe you would need a woodwin, brass, or string instrument to do this accurately.
TakaDimi is a universal concept and works in all languages. I always had problems with 1 e + e. Thanks for the tutorial.

Brilliant third lesson in this series ...... thanks!!
Glad you liked it!
Subscribed! Thanks for this amazing video!
Perfect, thank you, man!

Could you include tied notes, triplets and 32nd notes in next video? Many thanks
Oh and please cover counting rests too. Thank you

I really like it thank you
Have done a video on tied notes in takadimi? May have, can't find it though.
Thanks for the question and I have added that to my list of videos to make!!
Thanks so much ❤️
Hello Sir, please explain the counting of dotted quarter note and eight note ?
Thank you

Please do a whole 8 bar song with rests
When you teach for Tripets?

Please some methods for syncopation

So I wasn't a slow music learner after all.
