The two methods (or systems, as I refer to them) are the Eastman and...uh,
my memory is fuzzy on this one - something in the back of my brain (or
lack thereof) says Guy Cornell...or Guy Something. *shrug*

Haven't heard of a system referred to as the Kodaly...but the wrote great
cello stuff. ^_^

Eastman:
1 te 2 ta te ta, etc.
1 la li 2 la li 3 ta la ta li ta, etc.

Guy Slatbunwalla:
1 and 2 ee and uh, etc.
1 and uh 2 and ... uh, I dunno what those guys do for sixteenths in
triples.

Or was it Guy Dinglybert Slaptyback? Engledang Fistybuns? Jerry Dorsey?

Of course keep in mind that I is young and often stupid/inaccurate, and
others know much much more than me...it wouldn't surprise me if there were
just as many counting systems as there are clarinet systems.

Romero, Mueller, Adolphe Sax...)
