In a previous lesson we learned how to count the simple time signatures of 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4. In this lesson we will learn more ways to notate time signatures, and learn to count time signatures that don’t use a quarter note as the beat. Common Time Common time is Read more…
Thus far we have covered rhythm in time signatures with a 4 on the bottom. Now we will look at time signatures where an 8th note gets the beat. Up until now we have counted time signatures in simple time. Simple time means the top number is 2, 3 or Read more…
In the last lesson we learned about note lengths. In this lesson we will learn how to count rhythm using time signatures and the notes from the previous lesson. Time signatures tell us how many beats are in a measure. Measures are separated by lines: The time signature comes after Read more…
