@AnneAulisRobin It’s not the first. You missed some tutorials. 🙂
@AnneAulisRobin yes, that isn’t the first. I mean that is the fourth
tutorial with janes voice! xDD
Hearing your voice will change the way I look up against life forever…
*starts the video*
thanks . But i already understood it cuz of your pm! I can p
Play glassworks 🙂 if you understood it it will become very easy!
Sounds like the math teacher is still in you 🙂 This certainly helps with
Debussy; Arabesque in particular – I still can’t believe how easy it is for
you to play that (difficult for me) piece!
@l33tr3t once you get used to the rhythm it would become automatic. you
won’t need to count anymore. so keep practicing. 🙂

You also can use “guiding words” to feel the rythm. For me, cause I’m
russian it’s word “чер-но-бро-ва” [chernobrova] for 2 against 3. You can
hear it in origianl version of song called “Ukrainian Bell Carol” in
russian.
@flsck haven’t had a cold for years… wow, good guess!
You got a nice voice and cute accent ma’am!
BRILLIANT!
but for example, if i have 11 against 6 notes… the common multiple is
66…. no one is able to subdivide 66 notes over the beat of the song ….
i think is better to do it with a sense of freedom keepin the notes
organized with the phrase
So can you help me, how would you use this for bars 3 and 4 of Chopin’s
Nocturne Op 9 No 1?
Study what I did here, but follow along with pen and paper. The more brain
cells we activate, the easier it is to learn and remember.
Very nice of you. Thank you.
you’re welcome.
@MDkid1 Just saw your comments again. Had made a tutorial “how to line up
11 notes with 6”. See video response.
At fast tempos like in Chopin’s Fantaisie Impromptu it’s not going to be
possible to think about such a small subdivision. Do you just practice at
slow tempos until your hands know what to do without consciously thinking
about the timing?
yes 🙂
That’s always been the hurdle with me… Managed to do it roughly, but
never to get a good pattern of it… Your method is simply logic, excellent
and can be use in any circumstances, with or without a partition or an
instrument… Everywhere when we have a little time to spare and to train 🙂
my “11 notes against 6” illustration is improved over this one
Fantastic! I learned to play quarter note triplets by ‘feel’, many years
ago. It was a long, time consuming effort. I have never been able to
explain to my students adequately how to do his. Now I can. Thank you
that’s so nice to hear. thank you for writing.
I love you videos. Simple, or complicated, we always learn something. I’ll
miss them when I won’t have the Internet, except occasionally, at least to
download the Bach Chaconne. The reason: rent too heavy, almost homeless,
just found a substitute for awhile… Then don’t know… But meeting you
was really nice. Have a nice time :)
