Eighths and quarters
One more look at what you missed.
Now mix pairs of eighths with quarter notes.
A quarter note gets one tap on its beat. A beamed pair gets two even taps.
Keep this count going under everything: 1 and 2 and.
Your voice counts every half beat, even where you tap only once.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
Two eighths, then a quarter note. Which count fits?
On a quarter note, say the and but do not tap it.
Your voice keeps counting halves while your hand plays a whole beat.
Keep counting 1 and 2 and out loud. Tap only what the notes show.
The hard part is switching between the two.
Moving from quarters into eighths and back is where taps go uneven. Let the steady count place every tap.
Two eighths, a quarter, two eighths, a quarter: how many taps?
One more time, a little faster.
The count is the same. Each half beat just goes by sooner.
Same rhythms at a quicker tempo. Keep the pairs even.
You can mix eighths and quarters.
What you learned
- A beamed pair gets two even taps; a quarter note gets one.
- Keep counting 1 and 2 and, even under quarter notes.
- Switching between the two is where the count matters most.
