A tip on counting in the triplet based “compound” time signatures like 6/8, 9/8, 12/8

Don’t count 1-2-3, 4-5-6
For 6/8: count 1-and-a, 2-and-a,
For 9/8: count 1-and-a, 2-and-a, 3-and-a
For 12/8: count 1-and-a, 2-and-a, 3-and-a, 4-and-a

By doing this you are counting where the numbers represent the tempo and is the same as counting in a 2/4, 3/4, or 4/4 meter.


Have Fun!
