Clinic: Beaming (Grouping of Notes) - Part 1

This video focuses on the absolute basics of beaming (grouping of notes). Areas covered:
- Eighth notes/Quaver notes
- Time signatures of 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4
- Ensuring that beaming emphasises/highlights the main beats of the time signature.

Part 2 coming soon!

Long story short: beams are for any concurrent notes with a smaller subdivision than the time signature’s denominator (measure value), and are separated only by larger note value and/or by each beat of the time signature’s numerator (number of measures).

I like this video because it basically clarifies why music isn’t just sheets of endless beamed full stacks of notes. That little “fraction” really is a useful piece of information!

I'm in Audio engineering 1st term and this is what we're learning. I'm having trouble with rembering the notes and what the represent ie. a whole, quater, 8th etc. do you have and tips on how to best lock that down?
I have a test tomorrow and I know I'm gonna flunk. please help.

Please could you make videos about harmony & chord progression?

Note: They are 2 dotted quarters in each measure of 6/8 but 3 dotted quarters each measure of 9/8

[josephjosepha]

In 3/4 Why it cannot be beamed as separated Beams for each beat? I think it will be more clearer than this..
In 4/4 i think the answer is that the first and the third beat stronge and the second and fourth are weak so they are beamed with the stronger as you said the imaginary bar line

Can I disconnect some connections? Fot example, 6 groups of 32nd notes in 6/8?

Hi, how long or short can the stem be when beaming notes together?
