FREE ONILNE LESSONS (Your Third Song - Step 2)

This tune is in 3 beats, which means every bar there should be 3 counts. Like this...

Now, take a look at the score of Amazing Grace.

Try to clap your hands (or tap your foot) while singing the tune in order to get the beats.

Notice that there is a G note before your 1 st clap comes in. So you should sing/play the G before you start counting the beats.

Now move on to the 1 st bar, you will see that the C lasts for 2 beats. So you clap twice before singing the next note.

Also notice in the 1 st bar, the 3 rd clap contains 2 notes, namely the E and C. So when you clap on the 3 rd beat, you need to sing 2 notes. As a matter of fact, each of them is a half beat.

Take note that the clapping should be consistent, which means there should not be any pause.
