Rhythm notation and reading music. Learn how to read and write rhythms, get familiar with the different types of notes and rests, how long they all last and most importantly, what they all sound like. Suitable for candidates preparing for ABRSM Grade 1 music theory. Rhythm is one of the most important parts of modern music notation and is a fundamental part of music theory. Rhythmic lengths are usually represented by differences in the head or tail of a note. This music theory lesson will get you familiar with the most common types of notes, which are as follows. The Semibreve (also known as a Whole Note) which lasts for four beats, the Minim (also known as a Half Note) which lasts for two beats, the Crotchet (also known as a Quarter Note), the Quaver (also known as an Eighth Note) and finally the Semiquaver (also known as a Sixteenth Note). Notes can be lengthened by adding a dot after the note head, which increases the note's value by half. This allows us to have notes which last for say six beats, three beats and even notes that last one and a half beats. Each rhythmic value has an equivalent rest, representing a period of silence. All these elements together give us the basics of rhythm in music. Grade 1 Music Theory Course A complete, step by step and practical way to learn music theory and discover how music really works. It's our belief that every musician needs to have the theory knowledge that supports their playing, singing, or composing skills.

I'm not sure what the correct musical term its called but when in 4/4 and repeating a 3 note grouping the 3 note grouping repeat will become -displaced- landing on a different beat of the bar then after repeating it will again align back with the first of the beat. What is this called when the repeating motif or cell or grouping is repeating but is displaced landing on different beats of the bar?

Kinda confusing. All this time I thought the note names and rhythm values were universally expressed. Never heard of the references you're making to them. Doesn't mean it's unheard of, just for me, it's confusing since I have a difficult enough time remembering the notes and rhythm values I've learned for sixty years.

Hahahaha, I just realized how straightforward our names are in French. The notes are called, in order you presented them: une ronde (a round), une blanche (a white), une noire (a black), une croche (a crooked, or maybe it-s from un crochet which is a hook) and une double (a double). I think it-s quite funny.

Is it true that you can only have one whole note per bar to be able to subdivide it into half notes, 1/4 notes, 1/8th notes etc? Or is it ever possible to have a multitude of whole notes in a single bar? Just curious as I've started to learn drums.

I've been searching yt for a day now and I couldn't find anything that really is for beginners, until this. Thank you so much, you explained everything so much easier. I have absolute zero knowledge in music so this really helped me a lot -

hello, you are a great teacher, of course, but when you illustrate crochets, you must not count one, two, three, four, but for the four notes, only one, one, one, one. it's a little lapsus, I think

I found this class to be very interesting as an American. Especially learning what the notes are called in Great Britain. I had no idea that there were other words for notes. Thank you.

I think you are the only person who replies to commets even 7 years after they were written.
Also have you ever taught young children because your tone is very reassuring

reply

Semi-breve, minim, crotchet, quaver, etc.? Holy cow, those are some very weird names (I'm American)! OTOH, I now know what a -semi-quaver- is--a sixteenth note!
