切分节奏

什么是 Syncopation（切分节奏）？

一组四分音符一般被数成 “1, 2, 3, 4”。

一组八分音符一般被数成 “1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and”。

syncopated rhythm强调介于两拍之间的节奏。

在上面的例子中，你数的“1, 2, 3, 4” 其实都是指向同一个音符，但是第二个例子中，在那些音符中又有个额外的音符。这个额外的音符又被称为 upbeat（弱拍），其他四个主要音被称为 downbeat（强拍）。无论什么音乐，只要是强调弱拍的，就被称为 syncopated（切分音的）。

现在让我们来看看（弹弹）一切节奏，有的是切分音的有的不是。

如果你能够读这些节奏的话对你很有帮助，你可以从慢慢拍打主要的四个音开始，并且大声说出这些拍子的名字。如果你觉得有困难的话，你可以说出 所有 拍子 (“1+2+3+4+”) 但注意，轻声说那些没有被弹奏的拍子，大声说那些显示的拍子。
