Grade 2 - Triplets

Whatever instrument you are learning to play, get to know your triplets.

Triplets change how beats divide. In Grade 2 Music Theory, you will spot and count quaver triplets so three equal sounds fit inside one crotchet beat.

Fascinating Fact:

In simple time, one crotchet beat usually splits into two quavers. A quaver triplet splits it into three equal sounds.

In Specialist Music Theory Grade 2, triplets show three equal notes in the time of two. You will learn to recognise the bracket and small 3, group rhythms correctly, and count triplets clearly inside simple time.

Key Terms

Triplet: Three equal notes performed in the time usually taken by two of the same value.
Simple time: A meter where each beat divides into two equal parts, such as 2/4 or 4/4.
Bracket and 3: The marking placed over or under notes to show a triplet group.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is a triplet in Grade 2 music theory?

A triplet is a group of three equal notes played in the time of two. In simple time, a quaver triplet fits into one crotchet beat.

How do you count quaver triplets?

Say one trip let for each beat, or one and a. Keep the three notes even so they fill one crotchet beat smoothly.

Can triplets appear with rests or ties?

Yes. A triplet group can include rests or ties, but it still occupies the time of two equal notes and is shown by a bracket and 3.
