I think people often get confused between counting and timing ... Saying 16th triplets are 1 2 3 4 5 6 doesn't really help unless you understand the underlying timing. You need to break everything down into beats, which are usually 4 per bar (also called quarter notes), and work from there, that is what you set your metronome to. From then on its easy. 16th -> 4 notes per metronome beat 16th triplets -> 6 notes per metronome beat 32nds -> 8 notes per metronome beat. When you know that, invent a numbering scheme to suit yourself. 16ths could be 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, or they could be ack ack ack ack, ack ack ack ack, or anything - don't get too hung up on the numbers, except in the way I listed above. Many metronomes let you set the number of subdivisions per beat. If you set the sub divisions to the numbers above you will get a noise for every note you play, and that should eb a good way to get started. Later on, just work with the beats to develop your internal counting, once you have a feel for the different timings. This comes up a lot, I should really write a lesson on it ...

I CAN ANSWER THAT....like andrew said..its doesnt matte rhow you count them..you make it up....if you want to do...1 2 3 4 5 6....and say that...for every beat..then have fun..if you want to say 1 e a and a e 2 e a and a e 3, its w/e it doesn tmatter how you count htem..as long as its 6 notes per beat..with the same distance between every note

(i don't but I could) I never heard of 1-e-and-a before, but thats just fine as long as you know what you mean ![]() my question is how do u count 16th note triplets, i realize that they are 6 notes Any way you like - I use 1,2,3,4,5,6, with "1,2,3,4,5,6" taking up one beat. In your methodology maybe you could use 1-e-a-and-e-a, 2-e-a-and-e-a etc, doesn;t matter as long as you get six per beat. I CAN ANSWER THAT....like andrew said..its doesnt matte rhow you count them..you make it up....if you want to do...1 2 3 4 5 6....and say that...for every beat..then have fun..if you want to say 1 e a and a e 2 e a and a e 3, its w/e it doesn tmatter how you count htem..as long as its 6 notes per beat..with the same distance between every note ![]() ![]() Exactly ![]() This post has been edited by Andrew Cockburn: May 17 2007, 02:45 AM -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
