Part 2 · Reading Rhythm · Chapter 23
A triplet fits three notes into one beat instead of two. It is marked with a 3 over the beam. Count “1 trip-let, 2 trip-let”.
Alternate hands. Notice that the lead hand switches every beat.
Accent the first note of each triplet.
Bass drum on every beat. Feel three even notes inside each beat.
“Straw-ber-ry, straw-ber-ry” has the same rhythm as triplets.
