Basic Count Singing

Count singing can help you understand where you are in time in a piece

of music. Here are some basic guidelines.

First look at the time signature. In this book, we!ll be focusing on 3 time

signatures.

The bottom number means the quarter note gets the beat. The top

number tells us how many beats are in a measure.

Count Singing just means we will sing the rhythm we see. If we see four

quarter notes we sing:

  1 2 3 4

A half note lasts for two beats, so if we had a measure with one half

note and one quarter note, we!d sing:

  1 - 2 3 4

Notice that I wrote a dash between beats one and two to indicate

holding the note lasts for two beats. But we!d still just be singing 1 2 3 4.

In Rhythmic Reading Level One we will cover:

• Quarter Notes• Half Notes

• Dotted Half Notes

• Whole Notes

The following time signatures will be used:

The four on the bottom represents a quarter. That’s the note that

“feels” the beat.

The number on the top represents how many beats are in a measure.

Quarter Note = 1 beat Half Note = 2 beats

 

Dotted Half Note = 3 beats Whole Note = 4 beats
