My DUDE...the most easiest, simple and clear explanation I've found so far in all of the tubeland! I wish I had you as my teacher when I first learned music in high school. 20+ years later I'm trying to re-learn it all. feedback: you mention other videos of yours that explain the concept you are talking about in more detail - please link those videos in description or in-screen link if possible.
This is how too teach,explaining each concept with clear speech and good grammar,and not leaving any thing out witch would leave you with questions,very good teaching.
This is the Best Video ever on the internet about notes , rests, and and their values, extremely helpful,. Thank you so much for your effort and sharing and making this lucidly concvinient.....
Thank you so much for your videos and lucid explanations! I am studying classical guitar this coming fall at the university and I need to brush up on these types of things. You have wonderful videos!
im learning music in German(only speak Deutsch for 2 years) and when the teacher taught this....I didnt get it!!!!! now everything makes sense. I'll rewatch it for better understanding. Thanks so much!!
I recall the scene in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS when we were communicating through music and they spoke of quavers and semi quavers......it seemed so COMPLICATED...but you have happily set it to rights for me..................thankyou.
Omg! Thank you so much. I have been watching all your videos to learn music. I have a notebook and I am writing everything I have learnt so if I forgot I can go back and check it out!! I have everything thing in there tanks to you
wow! i took violin lessons for 10 years and understood more in this short video than i did in that time! now maybe i will finally learn how to count properly! lol. thanks so much!
I do not know much about music but I really love to write melodies and songs cause I like to sing and your channel has made everything so much better for me I am really learning a lot about sheet music which is making my writing process so much better !!Thank you so much
Yes! You explain it very properly and i like your voice, unlike people that whispers in reading poems i mean like it doesnt sound good if you whisper, and that my friend ia why your voice is so good to listen too
this man is VERY SKILLED at explaining so that everyone NEW-bies understands. But just one thing from me as a complete newer: When you speak of value, you mean tones right? for example a value of 4 = 4 tones = whole tones on the piano right? Thank you so much for the way you explain this.
+Melony That's correct! A breve is a note worth 8 beats and while it is fairly uncommon nowadays it was often used in sacred music such as plainchant. For further clarity this is the name used by the British note naming system, the American system would call a semibreve a whole note and a breve a double-whole note. Hope this helps!
You can also get even longer notes: a 'longa' is worth 16 beats while a 'maxima' is worth 32. But you don't ever see these anymore as the earliest composers used a breve as a brief note and a semibreve as a very brief and short note. As music was beginning to get quicker, notes became even shorter than semibreves and now the whole system has sort of shifted down a bit to how we recognise it👍
I still can’t belive I am learning music theory at my late thirties... the pandemic lockdown has changed my life totally, and since I have been working from home since March and I can’t practice contact sports I needed a new hobby. I always wanted to learn how to play guitar and now I had planty of time, so after few months I realized I am getting deeper and deeper into the music theory as well. I had music classes at the elementary school, but I don’t take care with it since then. However now I started to write simple riffs both on guitar and bass I need to document it somehow properly so I have to understand the “math” behind the music better...
i just have to thank you soooo much! i really appreciate your help because thanks to your lessons i find it all comming together and making sence more easily :)
Great lesson! Thank You. The American system is what I learnt on drums and now resent as it only refers to 4/4 or common time. The British system refers to the number of beats the note is held for and is applicable to every time signature. If you want a career in music, it is likely you will play outside of 4/4, so learn the British system first for logical continuity!
whoever taught you should have their license revoked, or did you learn from youtube? The american system covers every time signature out there available. We literally invented most of the musical genres in the world. Jazz, Hip hop, Rock.....etc. I would know I have a degree in Music and I do fine.
i’ve been playing the violin for 9 years now and i never took to the time to learn or even listen while they were teaching this & scales, i’m in highschool now and i play by feeling but it messes me up sometimes 🧍♀️ so i thank you
Depends on the instrument you are playing and the speed, it is more of a ration thingy, one beat does not automatically equal one second unless you choose that speed on purpose.
You are a legend man thanks heaps😃😃😃😀😀 I have a music test tomorrow and thanks to you I think I will pass because you went over it really slow for me to understand so thanks heaps man. I might inform if I pass later in the coming weeks
You count them, so they’re referring to beats :) 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & = a measure of 44 in eighth notes You could play that super slowly, or super quickly, that’s tempo, So long as the bar is split into 8 beats
One thing that might be of note (sorry for pun there) is that some early and/or hand-written music (such as vintage church music) might have the crotchet rest shown as what looks like a mirror-image of the quaver rest (i.e. with the arm pointing to the right instead of to the left). Although you don't tend to see this version of the crotchet rest so much now, if you do happen to see that version you'll know what it is.
I am sorry for complaining: NOW I understand: Because I listened again and again to figure out exactly what he says: a dot adds half the value of the tone ITSELF, not 1/2 to the tone value. Now it all makes sense. Forgive me.
How would this help? The length of the notes would vary with tempo, etc. The frequency depends on where the notes sit on the staves, and is not what this lesson is about.

i love this video, it's very useful and you made it very clear and simple so we can understand all of this.
Great work, I refer people to your video on my online tutorial! Thanks for all the hard work!
this man is VERY SKILLED at explaining so that everyone NEW-bies understands. But just one thing from me as a complete newer: When you speak of value, you mean tones right? for example a value of 4 = 4 tones = whole tones on the piano right? Thank you so much for the way you explain this.
I was wondering: Why are semibreves called semibreves? Is there a really uncommon note called a breve that's worth 8 beats?
+Melony That's correct! A breve is a note worth 8 beats and while it is fairly uncommon nowadays it was often used in sacred music such as plainchant. For further clarity this is the name used by the British note naming system, the American system would call a semibreve a whole note and a breve a double-whole note. Hope this helps!

They are not brave enough to be called as breve...so they go by semi breve.. ;)
I have a vocals test tomorrow this seriously saved me life! So helpful thanks! ❤️
Me too

It really did help, and now it's time for me to take a rest !
Very helpful. Thank you. Stay safe and joyful.
VERY helpful, thank you! Couldn't have made it any more clear than this, much appreciated.
You.. yes YOU.
You're amazing.
Always excellent instruction!
i just have to thank you soooo much! i really appreciate your help because thanks to your lessons i find it all comming together and making sence more easily :)
Thank You For Posting This Video, Now I Can Learn Music Theory
Couldn't be any clearer, thank you very much!
Great lesson! Thank You. The American system is what I learnt on drums and now resent as it only refers to 4/4 or common time. The British system refers to the number of beats the note is held for and is applicable to every time signature. If you want a career in music, it is likely you will play outside of 4/4, so learn the British system first for logical continuity!
The note values refer to the same thing....thats why you can buy sheet music printed anywhere from any country and not need to translate it....
whoever taught you should have their license revoked, or did you learn from youtube? The american system covers every time signature out there available. We literally invented most of the musical genres in the world. Jazz, Hip hop, Rock.....etc. I would know I have a degree in Music and I do fine.
Very clear and understandable.
Thank you sir
Thank you so much! Just subscribed!
Simple and easy to understand... Appreciations for the video.
i’ve been playing the violin for 9 years now and i never took to the time to learn or even listen while they were teaching this & scales, i’m in highschool now and i play by feeling but it messes me up sometimes 🧍♀️ so i thank you
but i still don't know how it sounds ...
Depends on the instrument you are playing and the speed, it is more of a ration thingy, one beat does not automatically equal one second unless you choose that speed on purpose.
Count it, and clap you’re hands, or click your fingers.
Make music out of them if you can :)
Do you know yet?
Best lesson I’ve seen so far!!, about this topic
Awesome lesson! Thanks for the good work!
U did a excellent job thanks.. appreciate your effort Man..
You are a legend man thanks heaps😃😃😃😀😀
I have a music test tomorrow and thanks to you I think I will pass because you went over it really slow for me to understand so thanks heaps man. I might inform if I pass later in the coming weeks
Man, your videos are top quality. Thank you so much.

This shorly help me in my music test thanks
Very wonderfully made
Omg u saved me from my exam!! Thank yoouu!
Thank you, very clear and helpful.
Your explanations are very clear! I love you already
Question: Are "values" referring to time? How can I identify the length of the notes?
You count them, so they’re referring to beats :) 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & = a measure of 44 in eighth notes
You could play that super slowly, or super quickly, that’s tempo,
So long as the bar is split into 8 beats
I actually found this more useful than I thought I would many thxns
Big Man you the first to comment I think
The explanation is clear. Thanks
I got more than what i wanted to learn.. thank you very much!
This helps so much I have a test coming up and this will help me pass
I actually wished you can do music quiz at the end.
Coming soon! I'm working on it. My site will have the quizzes to accompany the videos: www.musictheoryvideos.com Best wishes.
excellent you're a pretty good teacher
Thank you so much for your fantastic information
Thank you. I believe my understanding is opening up
One thing that might be of note (sorry for pun there) is that some early and/or hand-written music (such as vintage church music) might have the crotchet rest shown as what looks like a mirror-image of the quaver rest (i.e. with the arm pointing to the right instead of to the left). Although you don't tend to see this version of the crotchet rest so much now, if you do happen to see that version you'll know what it is.
I did not know a lot about music this helped a lot
Very well explained... Note values..!! 👍👍
Very useful
I am sorry for complaining: NOW I understand: Because I listened again and again to figure out exactly what he says: a dot adds half the value of the tone ITSELF, not 1/2 to the tone value. Now it all makes sense. Forgive me.
You Rock!!
A small suggestion, if you could, add the sounds to the symbols.
I'm very thankful.
Thank you sir
Very nice lecturer
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
do u have the video for the rules about grouping rests? nice video :)
Grouping rest is the same as grouping notes
Love good information
Thank you so much. Especially considering I'm British but accustomed to the American version. Never knew there was a British syntax.
Thank you. you're such a great teacher!!
beautifully explained.... good efforts... God bless you
How would this help? The length of the notes would vary with tempo, etc. The frequency depends on where the notes sit on the staves, and is not what this lesson is about.
Wonderful tutorial
I hope you can make a video about various tremolo notes.
Your video was 11 years ago, but it is still hopeful..
👌👌👌👌👌nice lecture
