音樂的秘密語言：6/8和其他複合時間

Reading music can be difficult. And understanding compound time signatures can make it feel impossible sometimes. That’s why we are diving into the “Secret Language of Music” to understand the rules, idiosyncrasies, and general theory of time signatures such as 6/8 and 9/8.  We will be doing a lot of clapping and counting, and even playing a few games! 

Day 1: 
-Counting time signatures with an 8 on the bottom
-Grouping notes

Day 2:
-Strong and weak beats in compound time
-3/4 vs. 6/8


**This class is assuming that students have a basic knowledge of rhythm and know the following notes and theory:
-eighth, quarter, half, dotted half, and whole notes
-the corresponding rests to the above listed notes
-time signatures of 4/4, 3/4, and 2/4

**If your student is unfamiliar with these, or needs a refresher, I suggest taking “Secret Language of Music: Rhythm” first.
