THERE’S MORE!Like rests and extension dots

and compound meter and borrowed meter and changing meters and musical memory and games

and improv and dictation and composition and, and, and all the things!

…but that’s a different session.

Review & Reminders Review & Reminders

Beat Orientation vs. Metric Orientation We like to move it, move it!

Macro, Micro, & Meter Simple + Compound = an unexpected love affair Sound. Then Sight. Then Theory.

THEORY IS LAST! Does a quarter note reeeeeally get one beat?

Any system is better than no system… …so long as it is used systematically.
