It's so cool how you can hear it then immediately know if it's syncopated or not. Like we evolved to like music. I wonder why most animals don't grove to music 🤔
I watched a neuroscience video on it the other day, and it turns out the answer is animals whose calls are built in from birth have different neural circuitry than animals who learn their calls. For animals who learn their calls there is some motor circuits linked in with the auditory / speech ones. It turns out that particular brain structure is what allows to groove to a beat too.
Hi, I love this site. I stumbled on it while trying to find out what syncopation is. I listen constantly, but I have NO musical ability. My organ teacher quit me. After 4 years taking guitar lessons, I admitted defeat and quit. As I grew older I discovered the problem, I'd do anything to play an instrument...except practice. BUT, I was at least able to understand syncopation. Thanks, for the time you spent putting the lesson together. I bookmarked the site, since these musical questions come up fairly often in my wandering brain. I think that if I'd had these lessons 60 years ago when I was trying to learn to play, my engineering talents might have persuaded my to work at it harder.
What is the cool music notation software that you are using? So nice to be able to scribble notes down on the staff and then it automatically rewrites them neatly for you!
This has explained very well. My problem is coordination between left and right hand. I can play the right hand by itself and it's good. Same way with the left hand. The problem is when i play both. Left hand is a little behind. As my old teacher said. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! LOL
I've been composing a lot of syncopated jazz fusion in 5/4 and it sucks because i can't sightread it myself. And looking through the vid i might just need to practice more with a metronome.
great pedagogical feat in this first video I watch of yours, very informing/educative for me [was amateur violinist 18 years ago, god I'm an elder Millennial :/ ] and a professor myself, but without the shortcuts you employ (for beginners for it not become a memorized multiplication table thing) because college different audience than public in youtube/enthusiasts
8:54 wouldn't you hold that tied quarter note until the 2 of the second measure? The way it's shown feels like there's an eighth rest in between the 1 and 2 of the second measure. Just want to make sure I understand ties correctly
Starting at :20; Why is beat 2 elongated from beat 1 in the 4/ 4 and the 3/ 4? Wouldn't that throw off the timing? I can't read music, but I can see that discrepancy. It looks like that in itself would syncopate the rhythm.
May i ask a Question? Our music teacher gave us a homework like this: He showed is the First and last syncopated Rhythm. He dient Even explained how it works and we should just complete the Rest. And i dont have a clue how..?
@@omkasarkhedkar9413 You mean like the duration of the note? Sorry, I was taught music structure by a Roland Synthesizer/music sequencer and mixing hip hop and EDM as dj 20 years back. Sheet music may as well be Chinese to me.
Heyy can you di 4-8 measure (16-32 counts) of syncopated rhythmic patter,,, because thats are activity in music thankssssss,,,can you make it know plsssssssss:)))))
I don’t think Red River Rock is but syncopation has me confused. They say Scott Joplin’s Entertainer is the most famous but I don’t hear it. My personal choice is Lucie Silvas “Breath in”. I would like to be corrected if I’m wrong.

Thanks for the video. But I'm not sure about your use of the term 'accent'. Throughout my musical life I've had 'accent' explained to me as 'stress on a particular beat or beats'. For example, in 4/4 time, the accents are on beats 1 and 3, whereas you, in this video, talk about accents on all 4 beats. You do go on to say that beats 1 and 3 have stronger accents but saying beats 2 and 4 have an accent at all seems strange to me. Same goes for 3/4 time. I was taught that the accent is on the first beat only. No accent on beats 2 and 3. In other words; strong-weak-weak, strong-weak-weak, etc. Is it maybe an American thing, referring to these beats as having accents but weaker accents?
This guy does not know how to explain things instead of talking he should play us an example of syncopated beats and nonsense competed beats this way the students can hear the difference and then understand the explanation we cannot use words to teach musical theory.
So how do you know where the + down beat goes like if it's 4/4 and it's a quarter note, 4 8th notes and another quarter note would it be like this 1 (quarter) 2+ (first 2 8th notes) 3+( last 2 8th notes and 4 last quarter note or 1+ 2+3+4+ do the down beats (+ and) go with the quarter note or on the next 8th note this is hard to explain through text sorry
