Quaver triplets (eighth notes) are the same, we take two of the notes in the triplet and add them together. So a quaver plus a quaver is equal to two quavers or a crotchet beat.
How many beats is a triplet?
Definition of the triplet
A triplet is a tuplet that permit to divide the beat (or more than 1 beat) by 3 in simple meters. The rule is: A triplet can put 3 music notes in the equivalent of 2. Or more exactly, A triplet can put 3 notes of equal length in the equivalent of the duration of 2 notes of equal length.
Does a triplet mean 3/4 time?
It's a portion of musical time that's been split rhythmically into three equal parts. A triplet is identified by a small " 3" above or below its note beam, bracket, or slur. Triplets occur on each quarter-note beat. Two groups of triplets fit in one measure of 4/4 time.
How do you play triplets against quavers?
I have been taught to play triplets/quavers such as this:if you were tapping your hands on the desk, you'd tap both hands together, then the right hand, then the left, then the right again, then both hands together, and continue on as such (presuming the quavers are in the left hand and the triplets are in the right).
