Basic Count Singing
Count singing can help you understand where you are in time in a piece
of music. Here are some basic guidelines.
First look at the time signature. In this book, we!ll be focusing on 3 time
signatures.
The bottom number means the quarter note gets the beat. The top
number tells us how many beats are in a measure.
Count Singing just means we will sing the rhythm we see. If we see four
quarter notes we sing:
1 2 3 4
A half note lasts for two beats, so if we had a measure with one half
note and one quarter note, we!d sing:
1 - 2 3 4
Notice that I wrote a dash between beats one and two to indicate
holding the note lasts for two beats. But we!d still just be singing 1 2 3 4.

In Rhythmic Reading Level One we will cover:
• Quarter Notes• Half Notes
• Dotted Half Notes
• Whole Notes
The following time signatures will be used:
The four on the bottom represents a quarter. That’s the note that
“feels” the beat.
The number on the top represents how many beats are in a measure.
Quarter Note = 1 beat Half Note = 2 beats
Dotted Half Note = 3 beats Whole Note = 4 beats
