How Are You Actually Counting Time?
Quick check-in after the time & stamina video.
When you’re playing a tune (or even just running an exercise), what are you actually counting in your head?
Some honest possibilities:
- “1 2 3 4” with the beat
- “1 and 2 and…” or “1 e and a…”
- The melody itself, without numbers
- I’m not counting at all, just trying to keep up
All of these are completely normal, especially at different stages of learning.
There’s no right answer here. I’m curious where everyone is starting from, because how you count shapes everything that comes next: timing, feel, stamina, and confidence.
Drop a quick comment with what’s true for you right now. One sentence is perfect.
