Compound Meter — The Beat That Splits in Three
A 17-page rhythm workbook on 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8. Learn to count in threes with "1 la li", tell 6/8 from 3/4 by its beaming, and work through six rhythm games. Answer key included.
How beats split into groups of three instead of two, and how to hear and count compound meter. The workbook starts with a short "Start Here" guide, then moves through six counting games that cover counting, sorting meters, filling in missing notes, spotting broken measures, and working with tied and pickup notes.
Inside you'll find a comparison of simple and compound meter, a rule summary for identifying a meter from its time signature and beaming, and a written reflection page. A teacher answer key and a one-page quick-reference sheet are included at the back.
