- Professor Sharp teaches about tuplets. A tuplet is a generic term that describes a grouping of notes that would not normally occur within a beat. Discussing tuplets that are 2 notes in one beat, 3 notes in one beat. 5 notes in one beat, 6 notes in one beat, 7 notes in one beat, 9 notes in one beat, 10 notes in one beat, and nested tuplets.

thanks so much for the examples. It really helps a lot. I also appreciate the fact that you answer all the questions in the comments!
I really like music theory videos with lots of actual music examples, somehow they are quite rare, great channel! btw that last nested tuplets one was indeed borderline absurd
Thank you so much. Ya it is. It is heading toward Frank Zappa level.
I wish you talked more about tuplets in other time signatures and tuplets with ratios
Great video! Tuplets can be confusing to me and still kinda are the higher up they go. But hearing the examples to kind of get a feel is wonderful addition to understanding them.
Couple of questions for you. Would 11 Tuplets or higher still be performed in the same manner as the 9 or 10? Also how does one accurately perform Nested Tuplets? Is there a video of you showcasing how to count these Tuplets in a bar? That with the examples would be highly amazing
Yes 11 tuplets or higher in one beat. The higher the number, the more notes you have to play within a beat.
You start with the outer tuplet and try playing that rhythm. Then add the inner tuplet.
can you take a look into Zappa's use of tuplets. I love his music, but some of it seems unplayable if you look at his notation. He would have tuplets of 17 or 25.
Some of his music is insane. Especially "The Black Page".
The intro is unnecessarily epic. 😅
👍🏻
Nice video. IMO, those 9:4 and 10:4 tuplets should be avoided and instead written as 9:8 and 10:8 tuplets of 32nd notes.
Thank you. And thank you for your comment. I was on the fence about which way I wanted to write them because I have seen them both ways. In Ligeti's Chamber Concerto, he uses 32nd notes; in his Requiem, he uses 16th notes. I kept them 16ths in this video for the constancy of dividing the beat. I agree that it looks nicer to use 32nds.
Color bass/melodic riddim be like:
