Step 2: HEAR as you count aloud, clap the rhythm and listen for the counts to match the groupings. Step 1: SEE the patterns of notes beamed in groups of 2 or 3.

To ensure success when adding Time Signatures to rhythms follow these 3 steps: So, she clapped it again counting it in 3/4 time and, voila, it worked! Identifying Time Signatures in Three Easy Steps She could FEEL that the pulses just didn't work with how the notes were grouped.
