Subject: mnemonics for rhythms - list please add
in the thread 7/8 time thread people are contributing phrases that give a good guide to the rhytm of timings.
eg
4/4 Tango SNEAK, SNEAK, hide behind the BUSH
6/8 classical guitarist Christopher Parkening's ("Christopher Parkening, Christopher Parkening;" 1-2-3 4-5-6, 1-2-3-4-5-6).
5/4 "Rimsky-Karsakov, Rimsky-Korsakov. . . ." Yup. "1-2-3-4-5,1-2-3-4-5. . . ."
Pineapple Oranges for a jig. (TS?)
7/8 just repeat the words "Jaffa cake choclate biscuit, jaffa cake choclate biscuit"
Dancing Rant steps "Potato Crisps" or in yankee patois "Potato chips" - no idea of TS but it seems to be a Polka. (4/4?)
any others - maybe we could collect them up.
