1.37: Yale Lecture on Rhythm and Meter
If you would like to flesh out your understanding of beats and meters—or if you would like to have a professor lead you through some exercises to help you identify meter in music—take a look at this recording of a lecture by Dr. Craig Wright at Yale University .
It’s not necessary to watch the entire video. To the right of the video itself are links that enable you to jump to particular points in the lecture called “Lecture Chapters.” I suggest starting at the 2nd link (Beats and Meters). He’ll take you through the basic building blocks of rhythm and then gets into how you can hear meter in a piece of music.
