but swap over to the other rhythm.īelow is Suzie’s Rhythmic Pattern and spaces to write Your Rhythmic Pattern. Everyone claps and counts their rhythm, so that rhythm 1 and 2 are sounded at the same time.ĥ. The other person or group claps and counts rhythm 2Ĥ. 1 person or group claps and counts rhythm 1ģ. Everyone claps and counts each of the 2 rhythms below.Ģ. This is for 2 people or 2 groups using the 2 rhythms below.ġ. That is, if the 2 quaver notes are grouped together to equal one count or beat, then the number would always come on the first quaver and the “and” seen by a “+” sign is on the second quaver.ġ. They represent the second half of the beat as marked by # below. For the notes between the 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 you say the word “and”. You say and count a number at the start of each beat such as 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 as marked by * below. When you are counting the length of half ( 1/2 ) count notes you make a sound with a clap or note on an instrument for each note. You can make as many sets as you like and create your own rhythms using 1 count and half count notes.įor example, with 2 sets you can create a rhythm like this:Ĭounting the quaver (eighth notes) and hence keeping in time can be tricky especially to young children who may not have a concept of fractions yet. So a quaver sound is half the length of a crotchet sound as indicated by the given shapes. Under neath this place the 2 quaver rectangles,side by side like you see below.Ĭan you see how the 2 quaver rectangles looks the same size as 1 crotchet square?īoth the blue crotchet square and the 2 pink quaver rectangles equal 1 count. With the set you have place the crotchet square on the surface. Write the words below on one side of each smaller rectangleĭraw 1 note like below, on the other side of each smaller rectangleĥ. Fold the other square in half and cut down the middleĤ. Measure and cut out 2 squares measuring 6 cm by 6 cmĭraw on the other side of the square the notesģ. To help you visualize the concept of 1 crotchet = 2 quavers,ġ. To help feel the length of a quaver, clap and say words underneath the notes, as in the two examples below. This picture represents single quavers ( half count ) and twin quavers (groups of 2) for 1 count.įeeling the Quaver ( Eighth Notes ) Length In relation to a crotchet or quarter note which is 1 countīelow are 2 pictures of what quavers look like on Sheet Music There is 1 note on its’ own // 2 notes are grouped together Take a look below at what the Quaver (Eighth Notes) looks like: What Does a Quaver ( Eighth Notes ) Look Like ? It means that you keep the sound going for half ( ½ ) a count or beat. To count and play the quaver (eighth notes) you need to understand what they are.Ī Quaver (Eighth Notes) (the name depends on which country you live ) is the name given to a note length in music, namely the half count note ( ½ count note ).
