In this video you will learn how to read
this
When you divide beats into a group of
two this is called simple meter so a
so a half of a beat is counted with and
So if we use this time signature we will have
four quarter notes in one measure
because the quarter note receives the beat
the eighth note will receive a half a
beat and the half note will receive
two beats
So this is how you would count this set
of rhythms 1 2 & 3 4 & 1 2 3 & 4
So how would you count a sixteenth note
in 4/4?  Well you would add an E and an A
between the beats like this
so this is how you would count this set
of rhythms one two and three e and a
four one two e and a three and four
So if we use this time signature we will
have four half notes in one measure
Because the half note receives the beat
the quarter note will now receive a half
a beat and the whole note will receive
two beats so this is how you would count
this set of rhythms one two three and
four and one and two three four
So in four two the eighth note is a
quarter of a beat so this is how you
would count this set of rhythms
one two and three e and a four one two
e and a three and four
So if we use this time signature we will have four eighth
notes in one measure because the eighth
that receives the beat the sixteenth
note will now receive a half a beat and
the quarter note will receive two beats so
this is how you would count this set of
rhythms one two and three four and one
two three and four
