The student came back next week needing only a few reminders to count
(speak) with accurate 'numbers' 1 ,2, 3, 4, instead of just(!) saying Ta
Ta Ta Ta rhythmically accurate. (The example is simplistic, but she is
accurate with syncopation and subdivision also.)

The question:
What are 'official' names for the two methods of counting--numerical and
Kodaly? ? ?
