I could also end the chorus with a pivot chord, but then theres no breather between it and the verse. But, for example, if my chorus ends then could I tack on 2 bars to change to the key the verse is in? Or does this have to match half the length of the verse if I tack something on? (which seems a bit long for changing key to my ear) This allows you to sub-divide the quarter notes (beats) in a simple, audible way. I've recently been learning some music theory to improve my song-writing, and am looking to modulate to different keys. As you can see in the quarter-to-eighth-to-sixteenth note chart above, we count music aloud (one-and-two-and-three-and-four-and) to help identify the beat of a piece of music. I don't have that sense for timing - to know that there are still 2 bars left after the solo before the next section should begin. The Second Tier of the 8 Most Common Rhythms These 8 rhythms in a bar of 4/4 can, like the notes themselves, be halved or doubled. I'm in that group of people who, while singing in church, attempt to start a verse or chorus on the wrong beat because the melody _sounds_ like its going to start up the next section. The 8 Most Common Rhythms In 4/4 time (common time) these are the 8 basic rhythms. Unfortunately I don't think I can trust my own ear. In most music, sets of 8 often repeat throughout a song, kind of the same way that sentences repeat. Or maybe all the song sections are aligned on 8-bar boundaries. So, if you can count the sets of 8, youve found the beat. all the main sections then align on a 4-bar boundary. ![]() ![]() Maybe theres 4 bars 'call', 4 bars of 'response' and then a chorus totaling 8 bars. Songs typically build on some number of bars per 'section'.
