All the notations and vocabulary related to rhythms can be a bit overwhelming, but don't feel like you need to learn it all at once. Think of it like a game, that also has expansions. The base game is pretty simple and you can do a lot with it, but eventually you'll be ready for more complexity, like subdivisions or new kinds of time signatures. Tackle these concepts bit by bit to make the more manageable.

Me too! It shouldn’t be too long. I’ve got a lot of it already done.
This is great- thank you! I just started sharing videos on my CZcams channel in the hope of making music literacy accessible to all. Learning to read music opens up a whole new world for musicians.thanks for all you are doing to spread the message!
Looking forward for subdivision. Good job!

Excellent! It’s been on my todo list for so long, it feels good to finally have it out there.
Grato por compartilhar conhecimento 👍
So educational and so much fun! I had a great time revising these key concepts I studied for piano this year while laughing out loud! Keep up the hard work!
Loving it
Excellent explanations as always. The concepts are well sequenced and the visual presentation is really effective. Well done Brad.
Thanks, Rob!!
best music theory channel on youtube by far
Thanks so much!
thank you a lot, I just need this information to improve in my instrument.
Great vid...informative
Thank you so much for your videos! Got an exam coming up and trying to revise all the key 'DR AP SMITH" stuff ready for it, and you have been so easy to understand.
man this channel is awesome
Thanks!
Basic info, but very concise and useful for any beginner, thanks!
Thanks for your work. I share your lessons with all of the ladies in the choir I direct and they've really come a long way.
Fantastic! So glad you’re all finding them useful!
good video as always
Thanks!!
Damn I know nothing about rhythm, especially in notation! Thank you for teaching me what anacrusis is, I thought it was illegal but its real amd very useful!
Ha! “Illegal.” Lmao. Glad you enjoyed!
Right now I am a bit drunk, I just wanted to understand rythm more since I was having hard time to understand some parts of it and somehow my drunkass found one of the best videos ever made for it. If I understood it in my current situation, even a child can understand it.
Quality content for sure.
So glad you found it helpful!!
Great video Brad! Just one nitpick: "it's" at 7:40 should be "its"; looking forward to more rhythm videos!
Oh no! And I had three people proof watch the video. I’m going to have words with them…. Glad you enjoyed the video though!
Gosto muito das aulas infelizmente entendo pouco de inglês
I appreciate your illustrations, just fyi
Super super super tips

Hello,
Can the notes of the singer be subdivided and the beat of the drum is still the same? For instance, the drum does one quarter while the rapper, or the singer does two syllables🎵.
Of course!
Thank you so much!!!
plz post the next video
Hopefully soon! Couple weeks likely.
What about staccato and legato?
Those are accents/articulation. They would fall under technique and expression and aren’t really part of learning about rhythm.

I think you’re the first person to catch that Easter egg!
This "wise" guy got it wrong from the beginnning by saying that changing the rhythm of a song makes the song more unrecognizable than changing the notes. Go ahead an change the rhythmm of any fairly popular song, and anybody with an average musical ear will be able to tell what song it is.
But go ahead an change the notes of the song, and all you gonna have is a totally different song.
You didn’t find the happy birthday example convincing?
Seriously, if I’m playing in a band and any member plays a wrong note, or even a bunch, it’s not a huge problem, it happens. But if people start playing in rests, missing shots, of the drummer of bassist start messing up the tempo/feel/groove, or put the down beat in a different place, the band is going to trainwreck really quickly. Time and rhythm is so important.
0:40 'Ritardando' ...really? .. i'm not gonna get in trouble with HR?
Nope. It’s a legitimate musical term from Italian. In English, retard(accent on the second syllable) just means slow or delayed. I believe it used to be an actual medical term but has since been abandoned, probably because there are better and more descriptive terms, and because of the word being co-opted as a slur. In music, it’s fine. The rest of the time, very probably not.
So....this was click bait?
Why do you think it’s click bait?
This is great, thank you! I share a free, bite by bite “learn to read music” course on my CZcams channel in the hopes of making music literacy accessible to all.
