Play these note lengths on any note or notes on your instrument. Clap and count each note length from left to right eg 1 for a 1 count note and 1-2 for a 2 count note.Ĥ. Pick “x” note length cards eg 4 or 6 or 8ģ. Write the count value under each drawn note eg 1 count underneath the picture of a crotchet ( 1 count note )ġ. Draw the picture of 1, 2, 3, 4, ½ counts on the cut out rectangles. Cut out 4 equal sized rectangles for each time length.Ģ. This is a series of cards of notes of various time lengths eg 1, 2, 3, 4, ½ counts.ġ. Write it here using the notes and rest like in Suzie’s Rhythm.ģ. 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 ).
