In this module, Sheila shows and explains:

• A recap of simple and compound time signatures

• Introducing a new simple time signature

• Introducing a new note length and its rest

• Rewriting simple time into compound time

• Rewriting compound time into simple time

• Correcting grouping and correcting incorrectly written compound time music

• Some examples of 9/8 and 12/8 music - both played and written

As always, there is a downloadable PDF file to go with this video; it contains all the examples Sheila shows during the programme. Sheila gives the download address of this and the Module FAQ at the end of the video.

Don't forget, as a registered customer, you can also email Sheila to ask any questions you may have. Sheila will answer you and add the answer to the FAQ for everyone's benefit.

...my 16 year old is cramming levels 1-3 for an exam to get into music college, and was struggling quite a bit. I downloaded your lessons which he was very sceptical about, but he eventually insisted on watching every second even when I told him to skip some. He found a lot of the explanations much better than his 'wee red book'. He's finished them all now and will do the exam practice before he goes for the exam tomorrow.  A genuine quote from 'MF' whose son is now in Music College!
