Triplets over Quarter Notes


Question Posted Thursday February 22 2007, 6:01 pm

Alright well in my piano music sheet here this bar is in 4/4 time.

In treble there are two sets of triplets (quarter notes), so six notes then in all.
In bass there are just four quarter notes.

I'm not sure how you would play this rhythm wise.

See this link to see my guess on how to play it:

Hmm it's a funny looking drawing. But I'm guessing that you connect the first and last notes in the triplet to two quarter notes.

How would you play this. Where do you play the quarter notes? In between the notes in treble or with them?
Thanks for any help. :)

this is going to be really tricky to type out, but i will try to help you... okay, the numbers in parentheses are the bass clef, and the numbers in brackets are the treble clef: [(1 treb & 1 bass at same time)] [2] (2) [3]... [(4 treb & 3 bass at same time)] [5] (4) [6]. man, i really hope that made sense. it might help if you say, "cho-co-late, cho-co-late, cho-co-late" over and over while stretching the word over two beats. sometimes it helps me to clap quarter notes and sing the triplets. so in the measure, the first beat of treble and first quarter note are at the same time. and the third beat of treble is on the upbeat of the second quarter note. the second beat of treble is smack dab in the middle, actually right before the second quarter, almost like a grace note. hope i helped :)

You play the first quarter note with the triplet, and the third one as well, but you play the 2nd and 4th quarter notes between the 2nd and 3rd triplets.

I hope that helps.
