Play Tighter: A guide to Mixing Eighth & Sixteenth Notes and Feeling The Rhythm

Enroll my Music Theory course 👉 https://edu.morningdewmedia.com/produ... In this episode of our Music Theory Beginners course, we explore how to create more complex rhythms by combining an eighth note with two sixteenth notes within a single beat. The lesson breaks down the process step-by-step, starting with understanding the notation—recognizing the single flag on an eighth note versus the two flags on a sixteenth note. We then learn how converting these rhythms into their highest subdivision (the sixteenth note) can help you feel the beat more accurately. Along the way, different types of rests (quarter, half, and eighth rests) are introduced to fill out measures, and we experiment with reversing the note order to demonstrate syncopation—adding an unexpected twist to your rhythm. This episode provides practical tips and engaging exercises to boost your rhythmic skills. So grab your metronome, tap along, and let’s master these note divisions together! I'm super excited to share that we now have over 600 students at Morningdew Media Education!!! Thanks for all the support // Mattias CONTACT [email protected] #musictheory #rhythm #musician
