![]() ![]() That will help you keep your rhythm accurate because it's short and crisp. “Ta” has one advantage that I like, and it's that it's percussive. When you name the syllables the same thing, it makes it hard to distinguish what you're actually talking about. I don't like that one so much because using the same syllable over and over again can also be confusing especially if you're talking to another musician and trying to explain a specific rhythm. That's actually how it's written in Joel Rothman’s Teaching Rhythm book we've been using. So, “1-trip-let 2-trip-let” makes it very clear that we’re playing triplets and not 16th notes.Īnother one you might see is “ta” “1-ta-ta 2-ta-ta”. but I don't like using those syllables because we've already used them for counting 16th note subdivisions and I don't want there to be any confusion whether we're playing triplets or 16th notes. You can hear and play 8th Note Triplets along with me at3:20 in the video (Click to jump to 3:20).ĭepending on your teacher or the method book you use, you might see other syllables.

In the measure you can see I've shortened it for space and I wrote a “t” and an “l” (the “l” kind of looks like a 1 as well). So, let's look at how the triplet is written. We're splitting the time in between two quarter notes into three even subdivisions of the same duration. ![]() Triplets are a rhythmic subdivision of beats and because we're talking about 8th notes, that means we're talking about a subdivision of quarter notes. We want to answer the question: what is a triplet?Ī triplet is a three-note subdivision, but it’s not just any three notes the notes are evenly spaced between beats. Let's get right into how to play and read triplets. So, if you get it now, you'll get a little sneak peek of what's to come. It's in a booklet called the “Triplets Cheat Sheet”, and it includes the exercises for all of the triplet videos that I'm going to be doing in this series. I started this video with an exercise I wrote that features 8th note triplets and you can get a copy of that exercise at the button above, or Right Here. ![]() This video is about 8th note triplets - what they look like, what they sound like and how to count them.
