rhythmic patterns in two’s, three’s, and four’s
Answers
Answer:
We’ve all had to learn a passage of music where the rhythm seemed simply impossible to nail – maybe it was in a bizarre time signature, or perhaps there were indecipherable flurries of sixteenth notes and rests that were hard on both the eyes and the hands.
Though complex rhythms are one of the most initially intimidating elements we come across when learning music, if you sit with them for a little bit, you’ll notice you can break them down into smaller components to better understand and play the tricky passages.
There are several ways to simplify complex rhythms, and one of the most versatile ones is to reduce them into groups of 2’s and 3’s. This is not meant to replace regular counting, but rather act as an additional tool to help you quickly and easily internalize challenging rhythms.
By the end of this article, you’ll understand how to apply this method of subdivision to a variety of simple and complex time signatures in order to internalize, read, and play through seemingly-complicated meters, beats, and patterns.
The overview and math (I promise not too much of either!)
One of the most perplexing time signatures I encounter from time to time is “1 over something” – i.e. 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc. Rhythmic diversity is very important in music, but there really is no such thing as “1 over something” in rhythm. Every beat is just a sound, an isolated sonority, when it is alone. It only means something when placed in context with another beat. So, there really is no “1” – there really is only “1 + something”.
