Read Rhythm Notation Perfectly Every Time (New Approach!)

Rhythm is more important than notes, but let's face it, it's often so scary that it's easier to just guess it and hope for the best! And if you play piano, the problem is even bigger, because you often have multiple rhythms going on between the hands - yikes!

Unfortunately, if your rhythm isn't precise, your music will never sound right, no matter how accurate your notes are. In this video, I show you some easier ways to make sure your rhythm is spot on.

Thanks for resurrecting me back to piano. Your approach is amazing!

[bettyangwenyi]

This woman is a SAINT! Long may she live!

[jgunther]

i already do something like this but thought it was wrong, and came here to learn the right way :)

I use avocado guacamole or watermelon depending on the song for 16th notes. Pineapple for triplets apple eighth notes
seed for quarter

It’s simply the best rhythm lesson I learned from YouTube. The Kodaly’s rhythm language is easier to follow than the traditional counting. Thank you.

[smileyfrown]

Glad I found this I was so tired of "and, and, and" making me lose track constantly. I swear every single bar these days begins with a dotted quarter, 8th rest, or something similar that makes you count in "ands" for the rest of each measure. This helps

[jeannetteantry]

This does really help with these harder rhythm counts. You explain it well and give options. Thanks.

[jackloganbill]

Fantastic!!! I'm the guy who needs to hear the piece before playing it from sheet music... Thank you!

[Li-bntw]

Thank you so much for the method! I think you freed me for certain way. I always get lost counting with the 1 e and 2 e and way. Then i count again, lost in different bars!! 😂😂😂 these Tikitiki thing is really easy and fun!!!
Thankbyou so much!!!! A wonderful smart talent teacher!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[TheHumanSpirit]

I had done my Higher Local exam of the Trinity Colloge of music. Then medical college and post graduation happened and piano neglected. I practised my specialty for over 50 years and now having retited was longing to go back to piano! Now I have found my holy grail. Thank you, you are excellent!

[lornacameron]

I am going to practice reading music with the rhythmic language; it is so much easier to keep track of where you are in the measures!
Thanks so much, I have struggled with reading/playing rhythms accurately for years. This will help greatly!

[starbuck]

Thank you so much for this. I have come back to piano after a 50 yr gap. (Now on Grade 5!) I said to my teacher that I learned the Ta, ti ti method for rhythm in the 1960’s. She said she had not heard of this, but instinctively it is a method I am drawn to. I had no idea it had a name. You have taken this much further than I originally learned and will def use this tool from now on.

[MeaganFoy]

My singing teacher today said “you have no internal clock” in awe. She’s so right so here I am 😹

[judicoady]

I had never heard of the Kodali rhythm language, though I recently discovered ta ti ta ti, that was the extent of my knowledge. Thank you so much! Should be fun working with it.

[folkchick]

Thank you! This is so helpful. I am new singing in choir and this is perfect!

[nandaketu]

Thank you, this is proving useful in improving my playing but (and this is a huge bonus) is improving my ability to transcribe what I hear in my head.

[sls]

She is Great!!! Not to many teachers break-down these Rhythm like her. She is giving so much Great. God bless you for giving lessons that others are not giving.
