sixteenth note
whole note
3/4 therefore is simple – it could be 1 2 3 1 2 3. 6/8 is compound, as it’s really two counts in one. It can (and often is) counted as 1–2– 1–2–.
quadruple
Meters can be classified by counting the number of beats from one strong beat to the next. For example, if the meter of the music feels like “strong-weak-strong-weak”, it is in duplemeter. “strong-weak-weak-strong-weak-weak” is triple meter, and “strong-weak-weak-weak” is quadruple.
In 9/16, 9/8, and 9/4 meters, there are three beats per measure, and each beat can be divided into threes. We call these COMPOUND TRIPLE meters — COMPOUND because the beats divide into threes, and TRIPLE because there are three beats per measure.
The Preferred method
Each member of a triplet group has an equivalent beat time value equal to . 66 of it’s original value. 1.33 + 1.33 + 1.33 = 4 beats (rounded to the nearest whole number). The first two beats of measure two contains one triplet group of three quarter notes.
A triplet is a rhythm playing three notes in the space of two. That is, three evenly spaced notes in the space of two notes of the same rhythmic value. The most common example is the 8th note triplet. An eighth note triplet rhythm is 3 notes played in the space of 2 eighth notes.
two beats
It’s a portion of musical time that’s been split rhythmically into three equal parts. A triplet is identified by a small ” 3″ above or below its note beam, bracket, or slur. Triplets occur on each quarter-note beat. Two groups of triplets fit in one measure of 4/4 time.
