5 Methods to Use and Feel Triplets in All Forms of Music
Triplets unlock a whole new rhythmic feel — and this lesson gives you 5 ways to practise them and add a triplet feel to anything. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to practise triplets on rhythmic devices, hear sets of three through accents, and bring a genuine triplet feel into your playing. You'll cover different themes, traditional and ballad songs, counting with Konnakol, polyrhythms and more, so triplets stop feeling awkward and start feeling natural. It's a practical rhythm lesson that works on the piano and any other instrument. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 What We Will Learn 01:07 Overview of Triplets 01:47 Where we find Triplets 02:23 Epic Movie Themes 03:22 Indian & Eastern Music 04:06 Traditional Waltz & Ballads Songs 05:18 Ends of Sections (Rolls & Fillers) 06:22 Counting with Konnakol 08:01 Rhythmic Devices 11:10 Triplet Patterns 13:31 Tuplets & Polyrhythms 15:57 Simple & Compound Time - (6/8, 8/9 & 12/8 meter) 18:00 Accents & Sets of 3 20:41 ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ with Triplets 21:01 The Triplet “Feel” to Anything 21:47 Conclusion ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #Triplets #TripletRhythm #MusicTheory
