Would something similar to
not do the same job ?
It might help to think of Bernstein's America: ONEandaONEandaONE ONE ONE (or 1231231 1 1). If you wanted to conduct this, it'd be easiest to beat a Two (Down-Up: DOWNandaUPanda) followed by a three (DOWN-RIGHT-UP). Or - if you prefer slapping thighs (and I know I do) - LEFTRightRightLEFTRightRight, LEFTRightLEFTRightLEFTRight. This lets you hear that the quavers are all the same speed, but the pulse changes with each grouping.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

Was it supposed to be our own thighs?

Judging from the reaction I received on the bus into work this morning: probably.
You clearly dont know how to conduct yourself in public, Ferney.
Yorkshire is clearly still less liberal than one might ideally hope for.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

Not advanced at all really.
I would have saved myself a lot of trouble by turning up for music lessons at school(or even turning up at school) all those years ago.
I have this plan,when (if) I ever retire,to learn to play a musical instrument and perhaps take a course in music theory.
About a year ago I decided to try to pick up bits and bobs of knowledge from tinternet and such,as and when time allows,which aint very often.
I've been pointed in the direction of some great online resources by the kind forumites,teamsaint and others.
Every so often I come accros something new,for example dotted crotchets,ask the question on here,lo and behold there's the answer.
Reached a point now whereby I pretty much know different notes,key signatures,notation,read up on orchestration,I can even follow simple music scores now.
Struggle a bit with harmony,sub mediant this,dominant that,etc,but hey ho I'll get there.
Those booklets look interesting,thanks for that,and thanks everyone for the replies.
There will be another silly question very soon.

This won't answer questions like your last one, but it will give them some context.

Pick something straightforward that you know and like very well and get hold of a score (local library, or imslp online, for instance) and just get used to following the music. Take notice as things happen, and begin to anticipate. Try to hear the difference as things happen in the score.
