The Basics of Subdivisions!

SUBDIVISIONS:
-Quarter notes: 1 2 3 4
This is a what musicians are usually counting when they they say “one,
two, three, four” and start to play. That count continues to repeat
throughout the music they play afterwards.
Eighth notes: 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
Twice as fast as quarter notes, so you can have twice as many of them
in the same amount of time
Sixteenth notes: 1e&a2e&a3e&a4e&a
Twice as fast as eighth notes. We add a note in between each number
and each “and”.
