How to Play Sixteenth Notes on PianoWe're going to play piano pieces with a new rhythmic unit in the next lesson.
Recommended - Why should you Choose the Alfred's Basic Piano Course - Lesson Book Complete Level 1 (1a/1b)?I have written a page where I share my opinion of the top Piano Method Books. It's a faster-paced version of Levels 1A and 1B that gets to staff reading more quickly. Perfect for a student who is 8 or older, or for a younger beginner with great musical aptitude. ![]()
When we first started reading piano notes we talked about the tone lengths of a whole note (Which lasts 4 counts), the half note (lasts two counts), the quarter note (lasts one count) and the eighth note (There are two eighth notes in a quarter note). Do you see where the wind blows? Rhythm is divided in multiples of two's. So take en eighth note, divide it to two and you'll get two equal sixteenths. In other words There are four sixteenths in a quarter note ![]() Sixteenth notes appear singly, in pairs (Completed to a quarter note by an eighth), or tied together in group of four's. If an eighth note had one flag on its stem the sixteenths get two stems. Counting SixteenthsHere's a useful way to count sixteenths effectively. The third sixteenth would be "And" The second sixteenth and the fourth will be "e"and "a" respectively. All together we say One-e-And-a. Earlier in this piano course, when we talked about the eighth notes I mentioned that we always count a music piece according to its shortest tone length. The Sixteenth Rest![]() You'll se how sixteenth rests are combined with sixteenths in the rhythmic patterns below.
![]() To conclude here's a famous musical piece with typical sixteenths. ![]() To sum up this issue, let's see a quick review of the different tone lenghths and musical rests which we covered until today. You'll find some great musical pieces with sixteenth notes here below, but check out these great easy top hits books from Ebay before. Why should you buy Easy Classical Piano Music on Ebay?- On eBay you will find every Easy Piano Piano Music from the collection that has ever existed- You know exactly what you're getting (and you know it'll work... ;-)
We're going to learn about different tempo marks which show us how fast or slow we have to play in the next piano lesson.
