#7 LEARN FREE MUSIC THEORY
TLDRThe script covers advanced rhythm concepts in music theory aimed at beginner level students. It explains rest grouping rules, combining rests over strong and weak beats, pickup beats, and time signatures. Challenging topics like note durations, dotted notes, duple and triple time are explained through examples. The homework section assigns practice with writing 100 bars across various time signatures to grasp these rhythm concepts.
Takeaways
- 😊 This lesson covers finishing beats/bars with rests, grouping rests properly, strong/weak beats, pick-up beats/upbeats
- 👂 Rest grouping is complicated but important for properly conveying beats in sheet music
- 🔀 Must combine rests of same type before moving to next largest rest value
- 🎵 Strong beats dominate weaker beats when combining rests across multiple beats
- ❗ Never combine rests from weak beat into following strong beat
- ✏️ Practice building rests within beats as well as across multiple beats
- 📝 Memorize strong/weak beat patterns for duple, triple, quadruple meters
- 🎼 Apply rest grouping/strong-weak rules when writing complete bars
- 😥 This is the hardest rhythm topic, will require lots of practice
- 💪 After this, music theory will get much easier - you can do it!
Q & A
What is the main topic covered in this music theory lesson?
-The main topic covered is rhythm, including concepts like simple time, duple time, pick-up beats, arranging rests with notes, grouping rests, strong and weak beats etc.
Why does the instructor say that rest grouping is a complicated concept to teach at beginner level?
-The instructor says that rest grouping is complicated at beginner level because there are many possibilities and combinations for arranging rests with notes within a beat or bar, and it can be confusing which ones are correct and why.
What is the basic rule provided for building rests with notes?
-The basic rule is to start with the closest rest value to the note value and build outwards from there to make them equal the target number of beats.
What do the bracket indicators in the musical examples signify?
-The bracket indicators show where rests need to be placed to complete a beat or fragment of a beat within the bar.
What is the difference between duple, triple and quadruple time?
-Duple and quadruple time have a strong-weak feel (1-2), whereas triple time has a strong-weak-weak feel (1-2-3). Quadruple also has a 'medium' strength beat.
What governs the rules of strong and weak beats when writing rests?
-The main rules are: strong beats always have dominance and can extend rests, medium beats have dominance over weak beats, and weak beats have no dominance.
How can you identify the beat strength within smaller note groupings?
-Even within a weak main beat, the first of a group of smaller notes is considered 'strong' in relation to the following 'weak' notes within that small grouping.
What homework does the instructor set on rhythm and rest grouping?
-The homework involves practicing building rests in 100 bars across various time signatures, paying attention to correctly applying the rest grouping rules according to strong, medium and weak beats.
What musical concept will be covered after rhythm?
-After thoroughly covering rhythm, the next main concept to be covered will be scale writing and key signatures.
Why does the instructor advise reviewing this lesson multiple times?
-The instructor acknowledges that the rhythm and rest grouping concepts can be very difficult to initially grasp, and advises going over the lesson content and rules multiple times for them to fully sink in over time.
Outlines
😊 Introducing the Lesson on Rhythm
The instructor introduces music theory lesson 7 which will cover various rhythm concepts including simple time, duple time, pick-up beats, and upbeats. The goal is to comprehensively cover rhythm to prepare students for more advanced topics like scales and harmony.
📏 Building Rests to Equal Beats
The instructor explains the concept and rules around combining rests to equal a specified number of beats. Examples are shown of correct and incorrect ways to build rests, emphasizing starting with the rest closest in duration to the note and moving up or down accordingly.
🎵 Practice Questions on Rest Values
Some practice questions combining different note and rest values are provided for students to work through. The instructor walks through the solutions, reiterating the concepts around building rests outwards from a starting note and properly grouping beats.
✏️ Filling Partial Beats with Rests
The concept is introduced of using brackets in the staff to indicate available spaces for rests. Examples show how to correctly distribute rests of appropriate durations to fill all partial or incomplete beats in various time signatures.
❤️ Strong and Weak Beats Memory Aid
A color-coded diagram and verbal associations are provided as a memory aid to remember which beats are considered strong, weak, or medium strength in duple, triple, and quadruple meters.
📖 Rules for Combining Beats with Rests
Key rules are covered regarding which types of beats are allowed to be combined into a single rest. Strong beats have dominance and can extend rests, while weak beats cannot extend. Medium beats can combine with weak but not strong beats.
🎻 Applying Rest Combining Rules
Examples are walked through of applying the rules on combining rests across strong, medium, and weak beats. Concepts like building outward from an incomplete beat and handling subdivisions of beats are also covered.
🏁 Final Tips and Next Steps
To conclude, homework suggestions are provided to practice building rests, grouping them correctly, and reinforcing awareness of strong/weak beats. Upcoming lessons on scales and harmony are teased as being easier topics.
