In today's lesson, I explain how syncopated rhythms work. Syncopation is a really important concept to understand when learning rhythm as a piano player.

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.

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.

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?
