Free Music lesson

Tony Prior · Post by **Tony Prior** » 15 Feb 2003 5:44 am

I am offering this up for free..which means no charge.

Like John Lennon sang;
"The best things in life are free.."

Whole tone...or Whole Note
count 1,2,3,4
play on 1 only

1/2 tone or 1/2 note
count 1,2,3,4
play on 1 and 3

1/4 tone or 1/4 notes
Count 1,2,3,4
play on 1,2,3,4

1/8 notes
count count 1,2,3,4
play 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and

1/16th notes
you get the point

REST
count 1,2,3,4
Don't play..that means silent....
very important..play nothing

Whole notes are just as important in music as 16th and 32nd notes, maybe more important

RESTS are in my opinion even more important than all of them notes combined.

If you're playing 32nd notes when you should be "RESTING" please memorize the above.

FREE...No charge

This applys to all Instruments all venues.

TP..
master of the "REST"..but it took 30 years[This message was edited by Tony Prior on 15 February 2003 at 08:32 AM.]

Tony:

What about "three-four time"? Since 3 + 4 = 7 does that mean I play 7 notes to the measure?

Yes Roy..3+4 = 7 ,still..I think even with the new math...

Thanks Tony, but let me suggest you change the terms "tone" to "note" in
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"Whole tone...
1/2 tone...
1/4 tone ...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
We know what a whole-tone or half-tone is, but this might confuse a beginner, and they've already got plenty to confuse them.

Tony:
I need a music lesson too. I have been requested to play tacet at our next gig. How does one do this? Do I need a bigger amplifier?

Tacet
from Tony's post:

Repeat until otherwise instructed.

Larry, I think you mean

"TACIT"

Webster says; " to be silent"

Like Joey states...
Unless told otherwise be Tacit

I think it pretty much means leave your amp home, or you stay home, maybe both !

You gotta love it...

A tacit, a tacet, a green and yellow basket... E. Fitzgerald (paraphased);-)

The words are frequently interchanged. The use of tacet is more frequently musical, while tacit is most often used as in "Done or made in silence; implied, but not expressed; silent; as, tacit consent is consent by silence, or by not interposing an objection" Websters 1913 from U of Chic. Web site.
I will now demonstrate my tacet (or tacit or both) chops.....
