By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
Determine the correct beaming for 8th and 16th note values in an example in 6/8, 9/8, or 12/8.
Aurally transcribe a melody or rhythm in 6/8, 9/8, or 12/8 time that uses dotted half and quarter notes, quarter notes, and 8th notes.
Rewrite an example in an aurally identical compound meter (e.g. transpose it from 6/8 to 6/16, or 12/4 to 12/8).

Practice Beaming: Practice beaming together notes in simple time signatures in the following worksheets. Focus especially on 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8 examples.
See Worksheet 1 and the Compound Time Examples in Worksheet 2, Worksheet 3, Worksheet 4, Worksheet 5 (using 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8 meters).
Call & Response: A student or the instructor sings a two-bar rhythm in 6/8 time (picking rhythmic values off of one of the rhythm grids in the Study Aids section above). The class sings the rhythm back using Takadimi syllables. For an added challenge, increase the rhythm to 3 and 4 beats.
Melodic & Rhythmic Dictation: Listen to melodies in compound time played by your instructor. Transcribe the rhythm first and sing it back with rhythmic syllables while conducting. Finally, take down the melody and sing it back with solfege while conducting. Use the rhythm grids in the Study Aids section above as a reference during dictation.

Meter Transposition: Select an example from the anthology here and transpose the meter to a time signature that either doubles the values or halves the values (e.g. if the meter is 6/8, rewrite it in 6/4 and 6/16).
