Posted: 13 Sep 2006, 18:11
I really want to learn how to sight read properly but there just does not seem to be the time in the lesson to cover this enough and I just can not afford more lessons. How does one count demisemiquavers in 2/4 time? there is one bar of the three tailed monsters grouped together in four groups of four demis(quaver value)followed by a bar of 2 groups of demis and two quavers beamed and a bar of 1 quaver followed by two beamed quavers and a quaver rest. how do I count this? I have tried 1an an an 2 an an an but realised this would culmanate in a 4 an an an which confuse. so i have tried 1 an an an 1 an an an 2 an an an 2 an an an for the 1 bar and 1an an an 1 an an an 2 an ? for the next bar and the third bar counted as 1 an 2 an ?? please help. I really want to crack this. I sometimes feel like giving up in sheer frustration, but I have worked so hard for the last 2 years and really would love to play well by sight reading . flowing gratitude in anticipation of any kind help
