Can anyone kind to explain to me how do I do the rhythm counting ? I am able to count 1, 2 & 4 counts but I am lost when I am faced with quaver.
Sometimes I can count out loud without pressing the keys but somehow or rather after the second or third bar I will forget about counting and just play on Is there any problem with me and how to rectify ?
Another problem I faced was that my teacher told me that my wrist is too tense. He spotted this when I played the Ode De JOy and press the C major. Are there specific exercise that I can train to relax my wrist ? My teacher show it to me that I should not use the finger strength but rather just by relaxing my whole hand and fall on the keys. Can I know more about this please .
It's really simpleLook at the time/signature and see what the value of each beat is2/4 = 2 main beat whose value is 1/4
To make it easier and more consistent, I would count the quarter notes as "one-and", not just "one".It becomes trickier when dealing with smaller note values. I like the words "One-and-a", "Mis-sis-sip-pi" and "Hip-po-po-ta-mus" for those cases
