Description This Vid. is about how to time or count Quarter-Note Triplets (or "A triplet (made) of quarter-notes."). Notice that the first note of each triplet falls exactly on the beat. However, the duration of each note in the triplet is slightly less than the standard duration of that note. Red lines indicate the timing/duration comparrison. THERES PROBABLY SOME ERRORS (or even disagreements about effective ways of how to "count" the beats) to this analysis. I thought I share this with the music comunity since counting things like this seem awkward to alot. The trick is to get and feel the nice rhythm to it. Try imagining it in your head or playing some notes. For the Quarter-Note triplets, you can even image the timing of each beat as three beats in 3/8, or two beats in 6/8 timing. The duration of each quater note is equivalent to the duration of two eigth notes, and the triplet shown in the upper staff is basically three eigth notes squeezed into the timing of one quarter note or two eigth notes. The duration of each half note is equivalent to the duration of two quarter notes. The triplet in the lower staff (what this vid is about) is basically three quarter notes squeezed into the timing of one half note or two quarter notes. The common "waltz" temp of 3/4 (3 beats per measure, and they are quarter notes as indicated by the 4) has a feel similar to triplets, but the "waltz" is usually slower. If you were to think of the top staf as two groups of 6/8 time, the notes of the <b>...</b>
