I had a teacher last year that wouldn't care if you didn't get it. I like you because you don't yell at me when I get something wrong the first time.

Dislikes? Those are 9 pissed of music teachers!

I am a bit confused here. How many beats is a whole note in 6/8? If theres 6 beats and a half note is 4 beats, would a whole note be 8 beats? o___O

Man, thank you so much!

I learning music by myself, and, I actually think I can do this.

You are awesome teacher +inf/5

I've always naturally done 4/4 and 2/4

I think that the first bar of 6/8 is wrong. You said that quarter note is worth 2 while the 8th note is worth 1. The first bar of 6/8 should be a quarter note then, 2 8th notes, and 1 quarter note. Please recheck that again. Thanks by the way! I'm starting to love music a lot because of you. God Bless!

@OddNotice That's right :)

Had to re-watch the explanation on the note values in relation to the beat a couple times to grasp it, but then I've never been good at math. So ... If I've got this right then one bar in 6/8 could be two 8th notes and a half note? Or two quarter notes and two 8th notes? And a bar in 2/4 could be two quarter notes or a quarter note and two 8th notes?
