How to Count Phrases & Identify the Main "ONE" Beat In Each Phrase ★ Music Theory Tutorial for DJs // In this music theory for DJs tutorial video, I'm going to teach you how to count musical phrases and identify the all-important "one" beat in each phrase. 🎶👌
Are you ready to up your DJ game and learn the perfect spots to drop in your tracks? Or maybe you just want to impress your friends with your newfound understanding of song structure?
Either way, you've come to the right place! 🎶🎧🎵
We'll start by diving into what exactly a musical phrase is and how many bars can often make up a phrase in different genres of music, like hip hop, pop, rock, and electronic dance music.
Knowing this is crucial because it helps you anticipate important actions like when to drop in a new song, how long to mix your tracks, how long to scratch or when to make your next move in a mix, in general. 🤔
Next, I'll show you how to recognize the "one" beat in each phrase, which is where the magic happens!
This main "ONE" beat signals the start of a new phrase and is where you might want to drop your next song in to mix or start a scratch solo for a showcase during your Dj set. 🎉
I'll teach you how to listen for different musical clues, like drum fills, cymbal crashes, and new instrument introductions, to help you to identify the "one" beat in different genres of music.
But don't worry, we won't just talk theory the whole time! We'll also practice counting phrases together with an electro house track, and also a hip hop breakbeat instrumental, so you can see how it works in real time with a few different styles of music. 🙌
By the end of this beginner dj lesson, you’ll be able to count musical phrases and identify the main beat "ONE" of each phrase. With practice, you'll be able to feel the phrases and instinctively know where the "one" is in each phrase without even having to count. 🕺
Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes in the comments below! 🚀
