As a musicality teacher for dancers, I see all of the music theory shown in such a short time is explained so nice and easy for understanding. Thank you so much for your work on this ! Keep going!
Happened to saw your video .... I want to address something, i am a musician, a music composer and producer. I will come straight to the point mam. You videos are good but the is no Balance in the output. I mean your mix is not that good. I can hear a lot of background music while i m listening to crucial information. So may be you can Do mixing of your videos. Or if you want some help, I can help you with that.
@@conmusica for me its somewhere in the middle, "pop kizomba" (not tradicional kizomba, but also not the harsh electornic taraxxo music) e.g. c4 pedro, william araujo, tayc, nelson freitas, etc... because thats what they play mainly on the dance floors and i would like to increase my musicality. Thank you if it happens :)
Thank you for the info, what struck me the most was the little piece about Stravinsky.... I did not realise so now I need to listen to it again with different "ears":)
I’m glad I found you. I’ve subscribed and will be sharing. I’ll check out your other videos for any tango references, if not please consider including tango. <3
@@conmusica great! Thank you! Can you please find me on facebook messanger or on Instagram? Does this work for you or you have another suggestion? On both platforms you can find me as nagel.felicia (for messanger this is the link: m.me/nagel.felicia).
Thank for the video. I found it useful. Whenever I dance (primarily pop) my teachers tell me I'm rushing, so I want to understand how to better listen to music. I am trying now to just listen and count, however I'm still not sure I'm counting correctly. Is there a way for me to check it? E.g. a program in which I can play the song and it shows the counts? Thank you ;)
I'm glad it helped you 😊 I don't know any programs that can help, if you want to check you really just need someone there with you who can help you out!
You can definitely check for dj or music production software. I was using before Traktor from Native Instruments or Ableton. You just have to understand the software first so do not get frustrated. Do not forget that such software will probably not be custome made for your case. I use it to slow the tempo upto 100%, use loops over an 8 count and observe the wave forms of a track. Then I just write done on paper the counts, e.g., 1 & 2 & 3... and write an x where I hear a beat in that 8 count.
Hey Felicia, the fact that you may rush sometimes when you dance especially Pop has a few cause factors. One of them is an ability to accurately reproduce various musical durations within the current tempo(beat) using only muscles's tension and release. The other is emotional state during the dance which affects you muscles tension level. For example, if you are stressed during performance then your muscle gets over-tense and now in order to make a tension for Pop you need significantly less time BUT your brain still sends impulse assuming that your muscle are in normal state (if you train yourself in comfortable conditions) as a result you will make Pop ahead of time. To sum up, the problem is not your hearing at all. Music is time based events so you need to study how to control (time) Tempo, length of your movements (musical durations) to be in sync with music (stay on the beat) cause if you are not at list in the same tempo (beat) as music the rest of yours skills won't help. Cheers.
Hey Mariana! There are so many fantastic dances with music in 3/4 and 6/8 (and others - even folk dances in meters like 11/16). I kept this first video to the very common 4/4 so the introduction to these concepts was easier to understand. I have another video planned for other time signatures, so if there's anything you want me to explain, let me know!
@@conmusica That sounds great! A lot of Ballet music is in 3/4, so I would love to see a video explaining how to count in that time signature so I'm able to apply that to a choreography. Thank you, your video explains a lot.
@@marianazertuche441 Thankyou, I'm glad it helped you! I'll definitely make a note to add that into a video for you. Most basically, Ballet counting can vary with style (eg mazurka vs waltz), but there is a *basic* 3 count for anything in 3/4. The most common that I've heard are 123, and 1&a (easier to say, best for quicker tempos). Often then you count in groups of 4 or 8 bars, and that '1' changes with each bar. For instance: 1 & a, 2 & a, 3 & a, 4 & a, (5 & a, 6 & a, 7 & a, 8 & a) or 1 2 3, 2 2 3, 3 2 3, 4 2 3, (5 2 3, 6 2 3 , 7 2 3, 8 2 3) There's so much more to add, but that's the foundation!
