You'll cover meter, tempo, beats, sub-beats, note values, rests, accents, time feels, polyrhythms and polymeters — a complete tour of how rhythm is built. It's an in-depth theory lesson for genuinely understanding rhythm on the piano and beyond. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Introduction 00:39 - Macro & Micro Perspective 02:26 - Contrast - An Important Goal 03:47 - What is Meter/Time Signature? 04:41 - The Pulse 05:28 - Cycles of Music 06:06 - Metronome & Tempo 10:39 - The Denominator 13:09 - 7/8 vs 7/4 15:26 - Note Duration 17:22 - Dotted Note 18:05 - Tied Notes 18:34 - Tuplets 19:19 - Beat Division 20:48 - Multiply vs Divide 21:27 - Strong & Weak Beats 22:07 - Time Feels 25:12 - Rhythmic Devices 29:15 - Accented Grouping 31:13 - Polyrhythms 33:08 - Polymeter ============================= 📹 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/ #RhythmTheory #Polyrhythms #TimeSignatures
