Sea Bird
Re: Sea Bird
Go through the first two systems with each hand individually (don't worry about joining them together just yet), but also add the pedal if you can. This one is all about counting the dotted notes, let's think about everything in quavers:
First bar: . / /

1+2 / + / 3+
Second bar:
1 + / 2+ / 3+
Third bar: .

1+ / 2+3 / +
Fourth bar:

1 / +2+3+
SORRY THIS IS MESSY, HOPEFULLY IT MAKES SENSE
The 3/4 time signature tells us there are 3 (top number) crotchet beats (bottom number) in each bar, so we will be counting "one and two and three and" for each bar (a count for every quaver / ti-ti: or )Dotted Crotchet .
three half beats
Crotchet
two half beats
Quaver
half of a beat
