I once again have an awesome story to tell about our little concert band. To make a long story short, Dean had just finished explaining to the class how to count a dotted eighth-sixteenth rhythm and had gone into detail about how the dotted eighth note takes up 3/4 of the entire beat. Here is how it went down:
Dean: So in conclusion, student 1, tell me how much of the beat is taken up by the dotted eighth note.
Student 1: 3/4
Dean: Very good! Student 2, how much of the beat is taken up by the dotted eighth note?
Student 2: 2?
Dean: No. (He proceeds to re-explain). So student 2, tell me how much of the beat is taken up by the dotted eighth note.
Student 2: 3/4
Dean: Yes! Very good. Student 3, how much of the beat is taken up by the dotted eighth note?
Student 3: 1?
And so on and so on and so on. I think it took until student #5 before we got a correct answer. Seriously - I really can't make this stuff up.
