Music educators, musicians, and curious minds — it’s time to rethink everything you thought you knew about duple meter.
This groundbreaking video introduces a revolutionary perspective on meter—not as static time signatures like 2/4 or 4/4, but as lived listening experiences. 🎶💡
🚨 Forget boring theory pages!
🧠 Richard Cohn’s redefinition of meter and the unique Ski Hill Graph pedagogy will change how you teach, learn, and FEEL meter.

💬 “Listening initiates meter. Not the page. Not the measure.”
That’s the core philosophy behind this meta-listening approach. When students learn to internalize meter through sensation, visualization, and creative practice, they develop musical intuition, not just memorization.
🎼 Want your students to actually feel the beat, understand pulse ratios, and read music expressively?
Then this video—and the full book—is your starting point.
