Now that we’ve made our introduction to music composition and mastered two beats in a bar, let’s try our hand at three beats in a bar and four beats in a bar!
Three beats in a bar
- Stand tall and use your baton to count three beats in a bar
- Start with your baton held high and count 1,2,3 in a triangle shape
- Practice different paces ranging from slow to fast
- Try practicing this to a Waltz!
Four beats in a bar
- Now, let’s challenge ourselves and try four beats in a bar
- Start with your baton held high again and count 1,2,3,4 in a cross shape
- Take your time. When you’ve mastered it, try different paces.
