BGBG -- I teach counting with beats and specific verbiage. In addition to that, when counting out loud, I only have my students say out loud exactly what they will play.
In 3/4 time:
3 quarter notes -- 1 2 3 1
6 eighth notes -- 1 + 2 + 3 + 1
12 sixteenths -- 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 1
The verbiage is not tied to a specific note value, to how the beats are divided. Eights in 3/4 time = 1 + 2 + 3 +....
16ths in 3/8 time = 1 + 2 + 3 +....
Quarters in cut time = 1 + 2 + 3 +....
I'm confused by your example: Quote:
An example as I see it would be a 3/4, 3-beat, waltz time measure, that starts with an eighth note , ends with an eighth note, and in between seems to need 2-1/2 beats but I do not know how to put it on paper.
It adds up to 3.5 beats? You have to resolve that before you're going to be able to write it down. Are there three notes in the measure as you hear it?
