Starting with the "whole note" which occupies the full measure. A "half note" which occupies half a measure, a "quarter note" which occupies a quater of the measure, then an "eighth note" and a "sixteenth note" and so on; there is also a variant of notes which occupies 3 beats, one that occupies 1-1/2 beats and so on. <br>>In 4/4 time there can be a total of 4 beats per measure (top number) and a quarter note (bottom number) gets the full beat and there could be a total of 4 quarter notes in that measure. In 3/4 time there can be a total of 3 beats with the quarter note getting the full beat. In 3/8 time the eigth note would get the full beat, in 4/16 the sixteenth note. <br>>There are several different measures of time. Whhere 2/4, 3/4 (waltz), 4/4 (ballad), 5/4, 3/8, 6/8, 9/8 are typical.<br>>as for the directions of the body.<br>>Croise devant<br>>quatrieme devant<br>>efface devant<br>>cruise derriere<br>>quatrieme derriere<br>>effece derriere<br>>ecarte devant<br>>a la second<br>>ecarte derriere<br>>you may transfer from position to position in "temps lie", "pas de basque a terre" in the center or through barre exercises.<br>>Most often you visit these positions at the barre and never know their names.<br>>As far as your future goes...only you may determine the fate of yourself.<p>Thanks so much for your help[/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
