2 thoughts on “Songs in 6/8 Meter”
Do any of your 6/8 songs have only dotted quarter notes and three beamed eighth notes? Would it be possible to separate them to show the elements of each song? It’s difficult when looking for a song with specific parameters.
Thanks,
Stephanie
Hi Stephanie! You would have to go through the list to search for what you are looking for. Yes, it would be possible to separate them and show the different elements. And that’s a great suggestion for a future project! 🙂 – Beth
