Hello my name is Exio, you are very talented I have a question I learned that a down beat is when we play the first key on top of the next keys that we would play is this correct ?

[@InnerArtofMusic]

@@HashesRecordings I am not sure if I understand your question. It seems you are talking about voicing. Downbeat and upbeat is about rhythm. If you have a specific example about your question, that will be easier for me to explain. Thanks

[@HashesRecordings]

@@InnerArtofMusic Example; A B A C A D A E A F and so on that is considered a down beat?

[@InnerArtofMusic]

@@HashesRecordings Do you have sheet music? Down beat is about rhythm, it is not about notes. If all the A notes are the first note of each measure, yes, that's down beat.

[@HashesRecordings]

yes @InnerArtofMusic Thank you very much for your generosity I subscribed.

Pls upload video how to play it piano as soon

[@xinfengliang9173]

Thanks! It makes sense now.

[@gototcm]

Very helpful and something I never learned as a kid taking piano lessons. Would love to see more lessons from you.

[@7mdxd265]

Am trying to play it for along time

[@larrylun2371]

Thanks Dr Xu, that's very helpful, even for beginner like me. My challenge at this point is the control. I want to play chords lighter than melody, either between right and left hand, or sometimes between fingers on one hand. But I am still struggling with it. Thanks.

[@InnerArtofMusic]

To control volume between fingers is more difficult than between hands. Yes, it's challenging.

Hello Dr Xu, thank you for the informative video. Could I please clarify something regarding 4/4 time signature there are two downbeats 1 and 3. Is 3 played as strong as 1 or weaker than beat 1 but stronger than the upbeats 2 and 4?

[@InnerArtofMusic]

I think the 3rd beat should be weaker than 1st beat, but stronger than 2nd and 4th beats. You may feel like f, p, mf, p.
