AGENDA ???? 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Definition of syncopation and offbeat 02:04 Weak beats and strong beats 04:36 The difference between syncopation and offbeat 09:15 How to use syncopation and offbeat when making music? 09:53 Syncopation in the Rhythm Base 12:46 Offbeat in the rhythm base 14:03 Syncopation in the melody 15:25 Syncopation as a punctuation element 16:35 Cuts with syncopation and offbeat 18:01 Conclusions One of the most recurrent points of improvement that I find in Cresciente students is the lack of a rhythmic identity in their pieces. They focus a lot on the harmonic, and leave aside the motor element, which makes us move to the rhythm of the music. Syncopation is an accentuation on a weak beat of the measure, which is prolonged towards a strong beat. Offbeat, on the other hand, is an accentuation on a weak beat of the measure but is not prolonged.
