 Welcome
to lesson 12. This is another counting lesson.
Let's call the 3 staff lines above, "The
Counting Songs."
Counting can be fun. There are many methods
used to teach counting. I was taught on
the 1-e-and-a, 2-e-and-a method.
The
lyrics below the notes represent the timing
for the note above it. Any word can be used.
I've chosen to use words that relate to
what you see on the staff. However you could
use:
- dog,
doggie, bone
- cat,
kitten, mew
- bike,
biker, run
- milk,
milking, cow
- etc,
etc.
Any combination of words
can be used. Just match the syllables to the note rhythm.
Push
"play" on the slider bar below.
The slider bar combines all of the 3 staff
lines above. A "clap" sound is used
for representing the note rhythms. There is
a 1 bar count off.
Listening
to the slider bar, play the rhythms and
let your eyes follow the notes on the staff.
Do this for 3 times through. Next, listen
to the slider bar and speak the lyrics (words)
below each note in time along with the "clap"
sounds. Do this for 3 times through.
As you can see, counting is easy when you
use a word method like we have done in this
exercise. On the next page I will give you
more words to use with other notes.
