How To Play Triplets

Monday Music Quote

 "The moment is supreme. "

Franz Schubert


Lesson on Triplets:


When the beat is divided evenly into three notes, each note is called a triplet. A set of three triplets often has the number 3 above or below the notes.


When the beat is divided by two notes, one as long as two triplets and the other as long as one triplet, then these notes appear as a quarter note and an eighth note. they are grouped together by a bracket and the number 3.
