how to count the 16th note in passage of music?

Answer 1

"e" and "a"? (Pronounced "ee" and "uh").

The quarter notes would be "1, 2, 3, 4".
The eighth notes would be "ands": "1 and 2 and 3 and 4".
The sixteenth notes are in between: "1-e-and-a 2-e-and-a 3-e-and-a 4-e-and-a." (1-ee-and-uh 2-ee-and-uh)

At least, that's how my piano teacher taught me to count them.

Is that what you're asking?

Please disregard the other answers on here. If you're having trouble playing the sixteenth notes and you can clap and count them, I'd reason that they're probably a bit fast for you. The way that you can fix this is to play the excerpt with the sixteenth notes slowly first. What you're going to want to do is get a metronome and set it to a relatively slow tempo. For example, if the excerpt you're attempting to play is supposed to be at quarter note=92, you might want to start with the metronome at 60. If this tempo is still too fast to be able to play the sixteenth notes, try playing at an even slower tempo. If you can play the sixteenth notes comfortably, try turning the tempo up until you have the fastest tempo at which you can still play the sixteenth notes cleanly (cleanliness is VERY important). Once you've figured that out, the rest is pretty easy. Keep playing the passage over and over and over again (just the parts that are difficult for you/the sixteenth notes) until you can turn the tempo up a few notches. Do this repeatedly until you can play the passage at the written tempo marking. This is the ONLY way that you will achieve playing the passage WELL. With any other strategy, you will likely end up with a very poor result. Also, a metronome is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY in practicing. Otherwise, your sixteenth notes will not end up being played evenly.

Answer 3

Counting 16th Notes

Answer 4

first u count the quarter notes (not count how many, but with the tempo given on the upper left corner of the piece such as allegro, largo, vivace) to see the tempo(how many beats per minute) the piece/song is. then as u know the eight note is two beats in the quarter note (which is kinda like 2 times faster the quarter note)...then u put the same tecnique (hopefully i spelled that right) into the eight note (which is 2 times faster the eigth note or 4 times faster the quarter note....it's a little bi time consuming..so i reccomend a metronome...

Answer 5

one - e - and - a - two - e - and - a - three - e - and - a - four - e - and - a

it's called a 16th note because 16 of them can fit in a measure. you should be able to fit 4 evenly spaced notes in one beat/one tap of the foot

Answer 6

"1" it is a "2" it is a "3" it is a "4" it is a.....

p.s. its got nothing to do with tempo, its merely a division if the beat; fast, slow, you count it the same.

Answer 7

impossible to answer if you don't know the tempo
