Just like Danielle above, im a self taught as well, I did practice a lot through by myself through youtube videos and all, and never really know how to read sheet music, and alas!! I can do all the drills in the video in my first try(yess bassically after learning from the first part of the video)

This is what happens when you meet someone who not only knows what he is talking about, but can also convey to others is a very simple and intuitive way something that, taught incorrectly, can become a nightmare! I started learning keyboard this week and this video dropped my jaw to the ground! Awesome.

As a small town music teacher who made these for fun during the pandemic, I’m blown away by how helpful this one in particular seems to be for people, and I am so grateful for your support. I don’t have a lot of time to make videos being a teacher and all, but please let me know what else you’d like to see on this channel, and I’ll try to get to it when I can :) mahalo!

I love this video very much. for so many years, I never understood this thing right from my primary days till today. But now i think I'm heading somewhere. I can boldly say I've found the right thing. My only problem was i think the video was too fast. but its okay. may be your next videos should be slower than this. Can you help with reading these things on the bass clef?

@Hamburgermfhelpme 6 місяців тому

The background music is good because it actually teaches you how to maintain focus while an alternative rhythm is going on around you. You’ll almost never get a piece where everyone is playing the exact same rhythm for the whole piece. Even if you’re playing a solo, accompaniment will play a different rhythm. I know it’s hard but you’ll get it with practice! -I’m a musician who’s been playing for 20 years btw

As long as we got the values correct, the *names* of tempos weren't factored in as high. (Whew) Guitar, trombone, trumpet, singing the FIRST thing I learned is how to friggin *Count.*
