Eighths around rests
One more look at what you missed.
Quarter rests mix with eighth notes too.
A rest is still one silent beat. Count both halves of it, the number and the and, without tapping.
Count halves with this: 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
Pair, rest, pair, rest. Which counts get a tap?
After a rest, the pair starts right on the number.
Do not let the silence pull you early. The first eighth of the pair lands on the beat.
Whisper the count on every rest, then land the pair right on the next number.
Whisper the rests, speak the notes.
Your voice keeps every half beat in place, even the silent ones.
Pair, quarter rest, pair, quarter rest: does that fill a 4/4 bar?
You can play eighths around rests.
