I'm cracking down on myself on learning about everything-- in music. Even tho i have an instructor, i kind of side-step alot of stuff.. such as understanding time signatures...

Like.. i figured out that The Stone is in 6/8 all on my own! (I think its 6/8)
If you could all post the time signatures to Dave songs right off the top of your head.. it would help me!
Like.. I tried to figure out rapunzel-- but i couldnt.

All help appreciated!

(Also, if anyone knows Dave Brubeck- Take Five, is that song in 5/4 or 5/8? How can you tell? FJ/Mahler/MWR/anyone?)

Because-- i want to make it into Jazz Band 2 at school next year when the guitarist graduates (this year)--- im working on all my theory and being able to read and play jazz chords faster and on the spot-- and also im working on my site reading..
the final thing i need to understand perfectly is Time Signatures.

Thanks!
(Ive jammed with all the top kids from Jazz Band and they all say i have potential i just need to work on the things i listed above-- i have some shows coming up with them too ^.^ Anyone who can help me rocks btw)

Rapunzel Verse is 4/4
Chorus is in 5/4
Bridge is 6/4

I also think the Stone is in 6/4

take five is in 5/4....if you listen to Eleven Four, its in, (you guessed it) 11/4

i suck at counting them out, but i know that if you count out take five in quarter notes, the measure starts over after 5 quarter notes...(which i still havent understood why they are still called quarters, but whatever)

gumbomadness · Unread post by **gumbomadness** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 7:06 pm

quarters because originally time signatures were ALL 4/4 and so a whole beat was a beat, and a quarter was a quarter of the whole.

Ok, when i have time, im gonna test rapunzel just to see

Anymore?
Ive never heard eleven four.. im gonna search for it now..
