this means cut time. so when you're reading a time signature and it is a "C" with a line going through it vertically, it is the same as 2/2 time. that is, two beats per measure.
page 8 brought this news to me, and i practiced the rhythms via clapping for the songs on the page. it was helpful to have a 4/4 version of Yankee Doodle Dandy followed by a cut time version. but i literally had to rehearse these pieces constantly to really get it. i have a feeling i'll do the same the next time i practice too.
matching the rhythm with the dynamics (pian, mezzo piano, mezzo forte, and forte) can be hard to concentrate on as well. Lord willing, and with time, i'll master it!
63.5 + 1 hour = 64.5
if i practice 3 hours a week for the next 9 weeks, i'll be at a hundred hours!! i'm hoping for more, but it is getting pretty busy around here.
