March 14th

I got on Auralia on Wednesday. I did various rythym exercises. There were 3 different ones I tried. I did one where they would play a few meters and then ask you what the time signature was. I tried level 1. They gave me a choice between 2:4 and 3:4 for the first question. I got it wrong . I listened to it over and over, trying to figure out why it was 3:4 and not 2:4. I think I finally figured it out. I wrote down all of the beats, then tried to figure out what note values to give them. Then I moved on to a different set of rythym exercises. On these exercises I was asked to listen to a rythym with a metronome behind it. Then I was supposed to tap the rythym back on a space bar, with the metronome still beating on the backround. Afterwards I went on to another set of exercises where they had you listen to a rythym and then dictate the rythym on a staff that was provided. There were various notes, with there values at the bottom of the page to add to the staff. There were 4 measures. I got one note wrong on the second measure. I was pretty proud of myself. Of course, I had written the whole thing down on my staff paper first and listened to it about 7 times before I added the notes to the staff lines
