This summer, my friends and I volunteered to teach music in a non-profit
program for unfortunate kids in projects. I got fixed up with an 11 year old.
I tried everything to teach him how to count but nothing seems to work. I
tried the "word" method, you know the Apple=eighth notes, Missisippi=16th
note thing. He doesn't get it. And I tried the tapping method. Anybody know
another way to teach counting? He does fine on quarter,whole, and half notes,
but it's the eighth and 16th notes that he doesn't get.
