Lessons ยท Unit 11: Rhythm III
6/8 time
In 6/8 there are six eighths to a bar, but you do not feel six beats: they group in threes and you count two, each worth a dotted quarter. It is a compound meter, the one behind barcarolles and jigs.
In the drill the metronome clicks only those two beats, on 1 and on 4, even though the numbers on screen keep counting all six eighths.
Drill
The session goes on until every skill below is mastered: at least 10 answers, at most 40. Your progress carries over between sessions.
