My teacher finally explained how the rhythm went.
PostPosted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 4:08 pm


I'm assuming eighth note = eighth note? Is the first measure supposed to be in 6/8? And I assume that those ties are actually slurs and you just wrote them as all F's for simplicity?

I'll assume all of the above.

I would practice them really slowly at first and tongue each note. Let's pretend they're in 6/4 and 4/4 and each note is twice as long.

1 + 2 3, 4 + 5 6 | 1 + 2, 3 + 4

Something like that. Gradually speed it up once you get the hang of how the rhythm should sound. Then when you do it "cut time" from what you started with, you have the right rhythm in the right tempo! :]

I hope that helps.

ya pretty much what she said

I think you meant to put 6/8 instead of 3/8 and thats how i would count that one

the other one I see what you say pika but the way to count it in 2/4 is 1e+ 2e+ but i understood what you ment i just thought i would tell what the actual way to count it is in case that may help even a little but pikas way works also

i promise im not trying to insult just saying for future reference Pika's way would might work better

It's in 3/8. Where did it say it was in 6/8? And yes those are slurs.
The measure starts with two 16th notes.
Yeah I wrote the notes like that...sorry, just a force of habit.
And my band teacher conducts it as one beat.

That's kinda weird, the 3/8 thing, unless it's supposed to be two measures. If it's two measures, it's basically the same as the 6/8 dealy I said earlier... but if it's just one, then I'm confused too!

The first measure is shown as 3/8, then the second one switches to 2/4.

Impossible to count.


Measure 1 has too many beats.
PostPosted: Sun Feb 20, 2011 9:30 pm


ok first of all, there either needs to be a bar line in between the first two sets of 8th notes, or its in 6/8. What I would do for now, is pretend like the piece is in 3/4 rather than 3/8 and act like the 16th notes are 8ths and the 8ths are quarters. (don't actually cut the speed in half)

Thanks for the help though, my teacher already explained how it's counted.
