  • Counting out 32nd notes.

    Can anyone tell me how to slylabicly count out 32nd note i have kind of locked into the rythym when playing them with a meteronome but if i had a way to count them in syllables it would make my life easier. Thanks.

      Re: Counting out 32nd notes.

      The first thing I would do is double up on the metronome... in other words, if you are playing at 100 bpm, set the metronome for 200 bpm, then each beat is an eighth note instead of a quarter note... does that make sense?

      As for phonemes for counting... my jr high band teacher gave us these and I still use them

      quarters: one... one... one... one...
      eighths : wonder... wonder...
      triplets: wonderful... wonderful...
      sixteenths: wonderfully... wonderfully...

      Then if you double up on the metronome as I mentioned above, you can use "wonderfully" for 32nd notes

        Re: Counting out 32nd notes.

        You can just double up the standard syllables:

        eights: 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &, etc...
        triplets: trip - eh - let OR
        1 & a 2 & a, etc... Pronounced One AND UH
        16ths: 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a, etc... Pronounced One EE AND UH
        So, for 16th not triplets, just make the "and" another count:
        Trip - eh - let & - eh - let OR
        1 & a & & a 2 & a & & a (yeah, this one has alot of ands, can probably get confusing)
        So, for 32nd notes, I usually count them 1 e & a & e & a, etc... (again, it looks confusing on paper, but works when you are counting it). Of course, 32nds are hard to count once you start moving at any decent speed, then you mostly need to concentrate on making sure the 1/4 notes stay on the beat.

        Hope this helps more than hurts...
