I grew up in rural Southwest Virginia in a little community called Emory. I have always loved music and making things. I am a retired elementary music teacher and currently enjoy teaching private music lessons, leading community singing and creating interactive music exhibits in my music garden. I hope to share these creations with the larger community.

practice with simple and compound beat division
Time signatures can be divided into two categories depending on their beat division. Simple meter songs use a duple beat division. Examples are: 2/4, 4/4, 3/4, 2/2. Compound meter songs use a triple beat division. Examples are: 6/8, 9/8, 12/8. Today's lesson gives you practice reading rhythms in simple and compound meter.
