Major: How to Play Piano Melodies in B
“RYAN LARSON: Now I want to talk just a minute on syncopation and rhythm. If we go through this piece, we have four quarter notes in the first measure. Again, a lot of the tunes you’re going to be reading are jazz tunes. You probably already know and you can just match the melody up with what you already know mentally but again, if you start reading through tunes you don’t know and you want to know the rhythms. So, these are quarter notes, four quarter notes in a measure, right? One, two, three, four. These are eighth notes, two eighth notes in beat or eight eighth notes to a measure. One-and-two and three-and-four and. And you have these sixteenth notes which are sixteen notes to a measure, and it’s four to a beat so we have one-eeh-and-uh two-eeh-and-uh three-eeh-and-uh four-eeh-and-uh so we can go through and count this whole system, right? One, two, three, four; one-and-two and 3-and-uh, one-and-two-and three-and four-eeh-and-uh one-and-two and. And this is a triplet where we squeeze three of the note values into what should be two, so instead of two quarter notes, we have three and it sounds like this: one, two, one-two-three, one-two-three, one-two-three, one, two, bop-bop,-bop, bop-bop,-bop, bop-bop-bop. And again, if you’re listening to these jazz melodies, you’ll be able to hear it and put it all together a lot easier, and you just have to match up the exact notes to that rhythm that you already have in your head.”
