November 15, 2024 at 5:49 pm #370196 Carole Lee DoberneckParticipant Sorry I meant measure 3: counted like this? 1 2 and 3 November 15, 2024 at 6:13 pm #370198 MikeKeymaster Measure 3: Beat 1 is a half note so you’d count it as 1 (2) 3 and So the half note takes up Beats 1 and 2 and the last two 8th notes are beats 3 and. If you still have questions please let me know. – Mike November 15, 2024 at 6:18 pm #370200 Carole Lee DoberneckParticipant Thanks Mike.
