What is a triplet in 4 4 time?
In 4/4 time, for example, a crotchet (quarter note) is worth two quavers (8ths), or three triplet quavers. This means you can make a triplet out of other note values, as long as they also add up to three quavers overall. Here are some different ways one crotchet beat can be split into triplets with different rhythms.
How would you count a 4 4 measure of all quarter notes?
In 4/4 there are four quarter notes per measure as noted by the number 4 on top (or a combination of other notes that equal four quarter notes). The bottom number which is a four tells us that the quarter note gets the beat (or pulse).
