This video helped me understand that the difference between 3/8 and 6/8 is that the first down beat has a stronger emphasis and if the song has its first down beat every 3 beats rather than every 6, then it is 3/8.
Thank you very much. This is soooo helpful. You have explained this step by step and very patiently. I want to fluently learn how to read sheet music. I can recognize space notes, line notes and write the A, B. C, E, F and G underneath most notes, I can recognize quarter notes, half notes, whole notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, quarter rests, half rests, full rests, eighth rests, sixteenth rests, dotted quarter notes, dotted half notes and write the beat numbers underneath the notes, I can recognize some dynamic markings, I can regonize some time signatures and some key signatures... I can some how read 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures and even those I could use some brushing up... But I need the most help with reading 6/8 time, 3/8 time, 12/8 time, 9/8 time etc.. And this has really helped. Thank u very much.
Honestly I know this far I am already well past musette and I can play well and fast this has been a great piano learning experience and really do enjoy it!
Thank you. However, I do miss the 16th and 32nd notes. I need more in depth counting information to break down my Kuhlau sonatine where even 8th, 16th and 32nd notes are combined in one beat and I can’t find any useful info to help with that.
Thanks! It's called "All of Me" by Jon Schmidt (of Piano Guys fame). Here's a video of the composer performing the full song: th-cam.com/video/9fAZIQ-vpdw/w-d-xo.html. Enjoy!
Hi! The top number is how many beats there are per measure, and the bottom number is what kind of note counts as one beat. In both of those time signatures, you will have three beats per measure, but in 3/4, a quarter note counts as one beat, and in 3/8 an eighth note counts as one beat. I hope that helps!
Did you mean 3/8 and 6/8? The note on the bottom is the kind of note that counts as 1 beat. There are quarter notes and 8th notes, but there aren't any 6th notes, so you won't ever see 3/6 and 6/6 time signatures. 3/8 time signature means there are 3 eighth notes per measure, and 6/8 time signature means there are 6 eighth notes per measure. I hope that helps!
This feels like Mr. Rogers teaching music theory. I love it.
Really great video. Refreshed what my teacher taught me 35 years ago and suddently put it into perspective. Thanks!
Thank you! We're glad the lesson was helpful.
Thank you from Australia

Fantastic recap! Re-stating what you've learned is a great way to improve your comprehension and memory of that concept. Keep up the wonderful work!

Every body keeps saying Quarter note gets one beat,but thats wrong,we should say that it depends on time signature,Am I wrong here?
Whew, Hoffman Academy is finally back! I thought you were going to be on a long-term hiatus, that's all. But on De again, GREAT JPB!
Thanks! Yeah, we've had a lot on our plates recently, but we're always working on more lessons. Filming for Unit 10 starts this month! :)
This was so helpful! Thank you for explaining this so well!

Thanks! This helped me out SO MUCH! Great video!! ❤️👍🏽🎼🎹
Thank you! I'm glad the lesson was helpful!

Wow never thought I needed math for playing the piano. This was such a great yet informative video!
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome sir wonderful love from India
Thank you!
Hoffman you make it so easy
Thanks from South Africa.
You're welcome! We're glad you enjoyed the lesson!
It's like learning how to add up and subtract all over again
A church guitarist (and congregation!) sincerely thank you..
Can’t you upload lessons of other time signatures?
Thanks for the suggestion!
Very helpful
Thank you sir
I'm so glad! You're welcome.
This is brilliant! Thank you!
So good! Thank you sir.
The first song is really great! Which one is it?

how do you play (3+2)/8 time signature?
You mean 5/8 time signature? That just means there are five beats per measure, and an eighth note is one beat.
Please clarify 3/8 by playing ""Fur Elise"" as I have confusion as to 3/8 and 6/8.
Nice lesson thank you
You're welcome!
Please clarify also as to the accent of the beginning of ""Fur Elise"". I am an Indian and I like your teaching method.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
amazing thank you
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Just too good..
please help to understand the difference between 3/4 and 3/8. please Sir

@@Hoffmanacademy Thanks a ton for letting me understand the fact.
Wat is 3/6& 6/6?
Did you mean 3/8 and 6/8? The note on the bottom is the kind of note that counts as 1 beat. There are quarter notes and 8th notes, but there aren't any 6th notes, so you won't ever see 3/6 and 6/6 time signatures. 3/8 time signature means there are 3 eighth notes per measure, and 6/8 time signature means there are 6 eighth notes per measure. I hope that helps!
Is there 8/8❔❔❔❓❓❓❓❓❓❔❔❔❔
It does exist, but it isn't commonly used.
