Your tutorial shoud be a MUST WATCH especially for musicians like myself who grew up and learned witnout formal sight reading training. I am in 100% agreement with your approach for getting non readers to finally tear down the mental block that makes sight reading SO difficult for the ear self taught and non formally taught musicians! Reading the rhythm correctly will knock down 75% of the learning block because playing in rhythm makes the sight reading process 100000 times more natural feeling. The rest is patient practice... Kudos
Having only ever really played music by ear, reading rhythm was a total mystery to me. Your video has simplified it and set me confidently off on the right track. Many thanks for your help.
Absolutely epic. Man I needed this video. I just became a better lead guitarist in the last 9 minutes than I have in the last 9 years. And his voice could deliver the news to terminal patients in a way that left them feeling calm, relaxed and happy. Lol. Thank you so much for this!
Superb video! Ive been playing for 30 years and even bluffed my way through music college. this was the clearest most easy to digest video on this topic ever. Thank you!
Sir, you are like the coolest musician I know on TH-cam. I greatly appreciate these videos and how you make the fundamentals of music so readily accessible to people. Rock on, man!
Saber, For years I have been trying to count musical scores correctly and after watching your video everything suddenly made sense! You are a phenomenal teacher! Thank you for solving my problem. Solange
Wtf is this video, i don't need it at all because i know how to sight read, but i saw it anyway because it's so well done. I think i never saw someone explaining rhythmic sight reading in such an understandable way like you did in this video. You deserve a lot of attention from begginer and even intermediate musicians
I've looked at a lot of videos on this subject, none Sir, are as simple to understand as yours. I actually feel like I've learned something. Masterfully done. Thank you!
For 20 years I've played an never really understood! Why don't all teachers make it this simple. As soon as I clapped only on the beat but vocalised all the rhythm I got it! Also using the same ta sound really makes much it better than lots of different syllables! Thank you.Brilliant teacher!
I trained using solfeggio, combining pitch with rhythm. Having the ability to conceptualize what you see makes a big difference in how quickly you can learn something.
I’ve played instruments in school for years, violin since 5th grade then more recently in high school, viola. I was never actually taught how to count 16ths, just told “it’s 1 e + a”, which helped but I didn’t exactly understand. This helped me so much in visualizing how 16ths work. I will still have to work on it, but this will help mu sight reading so much. I’ll be showing this to all the newer players in my orchestra!
Oh my god, you saved me! I've been playing the violin for almost five years now and counting has been my ultimate weakness. I'm too shy to ask anyone how to do it, but this video explained a lot for me! Thanks!
I have been learning piano, since 21, I’m 38 now, how I have struggled with timing and beats, has confused me, and something I felt I’d never fully understand. what you put together and your teaching, was the final lightbulb in my head where’ve I’ve finally bin able to say ah Ha! Thanks man! Thank you, now I can take on sheet music, and not feel intimidated no more 👊
Outstanding! Very well explained and professionally done video. I struggled with rhythm while trying to learn to sight read 40 years ago. Reading rhythm is probably the single most factor as to why I stopped learning to read on the guitar after books 1&2 of the 7 book method. Back then there were no videos and few unknown recordings covering this subject. I lived in a small rural town with no teachers that could read guitar music. Thank you SO very much.
Thank you. Nice video. I have been using rhythm syllables in my music classes for years, however, students still struggle to sight read them. I think I will experiment with this method.
Thanks for making superb contributions to the levels I've come to personally, in rhythm composing. I just sit down and do these things, record them on my phone and practice them occasionally on my guitar. But you upped my game. Thanks so much and God bless you. I subscribed.
you are awesome, I tried many ways for 20 years and I couldn't listen the rythm. Thanks to you I'm getting the pattern and I'm able to count and clap. Thank you so much for your great teaching.
this is so helpful, i'm going to make flash cards of these and memorize them and play that game for practice with rest notes in the mix. Thank you so much.
I,m apro drummer and back when i started learning I flipped the tried and true counting to a memorize what the figures sound like. By high school teachers couldn,t believe my effortless up to speed reading ability.
Nice Teaching you sir... 🙏🙏 I also learned in the same way in the year 2007. I m from INDIA.. My teacher's name is Rajnikant Patil. They used to teach according to this method. I remembered my teacher a lot from your teaching.Thank you so much sir..
I'm formally trained in clarinet but im also in the process of re-learning it after maaany years. I was struggling with counting some of the faster rhythms. Thanks for the refresher, I needed it. I added this to my playlist.
I've always been the kind of person to only be able to play rhythms if someone else plays it first, which is no help when sightreading, so I've been trying to practice more. This video really helps!
Awesome brother... You've really clear & unique voice that the youtube's auto-captions captured perfect english words without any mistake... I really appreciate how you took time to resolve the biggest issue of timing that most students face while studying instruments.. Thank you.. As a music teacher, i really feel honored to subscribe your channel and explain the same theory to my students in easy way just like you did. Thank you.
This is just what I have been looking for to help me with my piano lessons! And, this should be required for Kindergartners to help them with learning music and hearing it in its totality not just for the melody. Thank you Saher!!!! Happy Chanukah, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas everyone!💕🎶🎄🎁🙏🎅🎶💕
@@kayleighfankhauser7042 the note length of dotted eight note in the scale of 1 e & a 2 is from 1 to a = 1 e & a which is still = &(eight note)+ length and a(quarter note lenth = 80% of whole note(from 1to 2. So & a ( total note length) is right too..
Thank you.Rhthmic accuracy is so essential. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to play with or sing with others who do not understand the theory or they know the theory but cannot actually feel the rhythm patterns. I know the theory and can feel the patterns OK, but I sometimes have trouble reading the faster tricky rhythms in time with the musical notation. The trick of tapping out the quarter crotchet beat whilst vocalising the shorter quaver and semi quaver etc beats with the "duh" syllable does help. I was previously told by other musicians to use different vocal syllables for the different length beats. But, like learning to sing in on pitch using the tonic solfege method, I find this only complicates things and overloads the already overloaded mind with more information it does not really need to actually perform music. Which started with rhythms cave man would beat out with sticks etc to communicate with others, warn of danger looming, celebrate, impose order on his family unit etc. They needed no music theory then.They just did it instinctively, which is why music, especially the rhthmic aspect must be first and foremost something you feel, then something you can read off a sheet of music notation.But, it's useful to also know, on a conscious level, what rhythm is all about and how to notate and read it off a sheet of written music. After all, we have progressed somewhat, culturally speaking, since primitive cave man, I hope... Though, judgeing by the way some groups play, all out of sync because they don't get the rhythm thing, I really wonder sometimes. They go "Oh, it's only rock'n'roll, for Christ's sake!". But, fact is, even with wildest heavy thrash metal, rock etc music, if they get beats wrong, the trained ear for such styles soon notices their rhythmic mistake, no matter how much noise they make to try and cover it up.
best explanation of music notes and timing I have ever seen. for those that are not musically inclined or without any music knowledge this is totally doable.
For sure I am gonna book some courses from you in September I like your way of explaining! You explain so well! I'd love to learn how to sing not to be a singer but I love singing 😊
Can I just say it's been years since I've read music. I was a percussionist in highschool and was constantly practicing reading and writing music. I became pregnant during high school, I graduated just a few months after giving birth. I changed schools alot and the school I graduated from did not have a music program. So evidently I'd abandoned my endeavors. I did over the years collect some instruments but never played them because I have such bad negative talk when I fail to understand how to play them. My son and I both enjoy music and I would love to reignite the fire in me to relearn this aspect of musical theory. I believe you have reignited this spark for me a little by the way. Especially with the incorporation of the games 😊😍🙌 Alright well sorry I know the comments section isn't the right place to pour your soul out. So thank you deeply for the lesson, I appreciate you and am grateful!
A very informative and graphic interpretation of Rhythm and music notation which I'm sure those who feel challenged or handicapped when it comes to Rhythm can understand easily, by far the best tutorial for beginners
+1 for new subscriber +3 for ALL notifications from your channel for new subscriber +18 for BLOWING new subscriber's mind and THEN filling it with understanding what what used to seem like the impossible to comprehend. THANK YOU!
Hey Saher, I really like your interactive rhythm lessons. That's what I was looking for! Is there a possibilty to do more of this kind of training, like a program or a book with a CD?
This was enlightening for me- I always tried to clap my hands to the rhythm and tap my foot to the beat and it would all fall apart- vocalizing the rhythm and tapping the beat is much easier for me to sustain. Many thanks.
I tell you..great job there are many people out there teaching..but u lesson are understandable and easy. u teach in a simple way that everybody can understand great job man!
Wow. Great explanation. I play piano and have struggled with getting the rhythm right and keeping time. No teacher every explained it to me correctly. This is the decoder ring right here. The video explains how to "think" about rhythm in a measure. It's grouped according to the number of beats. wow. It all makes sense now and I can see it clearly while playing. THANK YOU!
A quick glacé through these, and comments in almost any page associated with music tuition, reveal that people pursue their hopes and dreams, often throughout entire lifetimes.
This is absolutely the best tempo and rhythm exercise ever!!!!!! Unbelievable think I watched every other you tube video and this is the best!!!! Thanks!!
This has got to be one of the best videos I have ever seen, ever , for understanding this concept, so well presented and very easily understandable, thank you soo much sir for this video, I have searched for so many videos to understand this, but now I feel very confident to tackle this....keep doing more sir...
Great video. Although I do like vocally making a sound, sometimes I feel like counting helps me keep track of what part of the beat I'm actually on, to help emphasis certain notes on strong beats. What is a good way to count some of these trickier combinations like 16th note + dotted 8th or 8th + two 16ths?
I just started band in school and the teacher didn't teach the drum people how to do eaith notes and I went home so I googled a good way to learn it and this poppes up and thank you so much this is so useful
Silly Fool 6/8: |123456| eg: play snare on the 4th count..or an accent on 4. tatataTAtata In 12/8: |123456 123456| play snare or accent on every 5..tatatataTAta. TA means accent
In most cases, yes. 6/8 is what's called a compound meter, which means that each beat is subdivided into 3 parts, each beat being represented by a dotted 8th note. In this case, the subdivision would be 3 8th notes, because of the 8 in the time signature. 6/8 has 2 beats, making it a duple meter. That means you would accent the beats as TA ta ta TA ta ta. I have seen cases where you would play it like TA TA TA TA TA TA though. You just have to interpret what better fits at that moment. 12/8 is a compound quadruple meter, meaning it has 4 beats, subdivided into 3 8th notes. You would play this as TA ta ta TA ta ta TA ta ta TA ta ta. 9/8 can be weird. In most music, you would subdivide it like above. It's compound triple, so it's TA ta ta TA ta ta TA ta ta. But 9/8 8 can also be emphasized like it's mixed meter. The 2 most common being TA ta TA ta TA ta TA ta ta and TA ta ta TA ta TA ta TA ta. If you have any more questions, I would try googling Simple Meter (things like 2/4 3/4 4/4 2/2), Compound Meter (What I went over briefly in this comment), and Mixed Meter. There are many music theory sites that can explain it better than I could.
This was one of the most important music theory lessons in my life, and I finally got the hang of it after I left it in the middle for months and coming back again and actually learn it.

this is very helpful. Probably the best video i've come across for understanding rhythms and sight reading. Thank you.
Sir, these are all on one-beat-subdivisions. I always have problems on 6/8 and 12/8 (half beat?). Can you teach how to count? Thanks so much.
Silly Fool 6/8: |123456| eg: play snare on the 4th count..or an accent on 4. tatataTAtata
In 12/8: |123456 123456| play snare or accent on every 5..tatatataTAta. TA means accent

Is 4th beat emphasised in all genres when you're in 6/8?
In most cases, yes. 6/8 is what's called a compound meter, which means that each beat is subdivided into 3 parts, each beat being represented by a dotted 8th note. In this case, the subdivision would be 3 8th notes, because of the 8 in the time signature. 6/8 has 2 beats, making it a duple meter. That means you would accent the beats as TA ta ta TA ta ta. I have seen cases where you would play it like TA TA TA TA TA TA though. You just have to interpret what better fits at that moment.
12/8 is a compound quadruple meter, meaning it has 4 beats, subdivided into 3 8th notes. You would play this as TA ta ta TA ta ta TA ta ta TA ta ta.
9/8 can be weird. In most music, you would subdivide it like above. It's compound triple, so it's TA ta ta TA ta ta TA ta ta. But 9/8 8 can also be emphasized like it's mixed meter. The 2 most common being TA ta TA ta TA ta TA ta ta and TA ta ta TA ta TA ta TA ta.
If you have any more questions, I would try googling Simple Meter (things like 2/4 3/4 4/4 2/2), Compound Meter (What I went over briefly in this comment), and Mixed Meter. There are many music theory sites that can explain it better than I could.
bertaga41 not always..you can play different way..u can emphasize at diff beats..however the general formula is emphasising 4th beat..
This was one of the most important music theory lessons in my life, and I finally got the hang of it after I left it in the middle for months and coming back again and actually learn it.
can you do more videos like this one,please?
Just posted a new rhythm video today: th-cam.com/video/RuvA4b_2pk0/w-d-xo.html
thanks.
Just love your lessons. I study classical music and your warm ups/lessons work well for me too. Many thanks
all i have to say is
DA DA DA DA DA DADADA DA DA DA
One of the best music lessons I have ever had, and that includes a very large number
