Music Notes, Dots, Ties & Slurs Explained | Beginner’s Guide to Rhythm & Notation |

Music Notes, Dots, Ties & Slurs finally made SIMPLE! 🎶
Have you ever looked at sheet music and thought: “What’s that dot? Is this a tie or a slur? Am I even counting this right?” If yes, this video is for you.

I’ll walk you step by step through the world of music notes, rests, dotted notes, ties, and slurs, and show you how to count them with confidence. By the end, you’ll never get confused again when reading rhythm!

✅ Here’s what we’ll cover inside this lesson:

What a music note really is (pitch + duration).

Standard note values in 4/4 time — from the whole note down to the ultra-rare 256th note.

Dotted notes explained with clear counting examples.

The true difference between a tie and a slur (hint: most beginners mix these up).

Special long notes like breve, longa, maxima.

A quick tour of ancient notation and non-Western rhythms (Indian tala, African polyrhythms, Japanese haku, and more).

Modern and experimental ideas like irrational time signatures, feathered beams, and grace notes.

👉 We’ll also do clap-along rhythm exercises together, so you can practice as you watch.
