Definition Of A Musical Triplet
A triplet is a type of tuplet that allows us to play three notes in the time of two notes. It's easier to explain with an example. Every type of music note (like minims, crotchets, quavers etc) can be split up and divided into two equal beats.
How do you count triplets in music?
There are lots of ways musicians count triplets. There's no one correct way to count triplets. You might just say "trip – ah – let" for each triplet. Or, you might count "1 – Ah – Lee – 2 – Ah – Lee – 3 – Ah – Lee – 4 – Ah – Lee."
What are Duplets and triplets in music?
The most common of these divisions is called a triplet, which is three notes joined together that equal the beat of a single note. The second most common type of irregular rhythm is a duplet, which is two bracketed notes with a note value of three of the same notes.
How many beats is a triplet in 3 2 time?
It's worth remembering, though, that with any triplet rhythm, 3 = 2: Three quarter-note triplets equal two quarter notes (two beats), and three sixteenth-note triplets equal two sixteenth notes (half a beat). You play three notes (equally) in the time you would normally play two notes of the same value.
