Video Description

If you enjoyed my original music in this video then you can find it on my Spotify: https://sptfy.com/davidbennett 🎹🎹🎹 Although most music is written in 4/4 time, there are various songs that instead use the odd time signature of 5/4. 5/4 has a distinctive off-kilter feel that can give a song a curious, fast-slow rhythm.
