To illustrate the difference, with most methods a measure in 3\/4 consisting of 4 sixteenth notes followed by 2 quarter notes have the sixteenth notes counted \"1e\u0026amp;a\" and the quarter notes counted \"2, 3\" (often leading to students playing the quarter notes as if they were eighth notes). \u003ci\u003eSubdivide and Conquer\u003c\/i\u003e would have the sixteenth notes counted \"1e\u0026amp;a\" and instead have the quarter notes counted \"2e\u0026amp;a3e\u0026amp;a,\" thus using the syllables to measure the lengths of the notes instead of just labeling them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSubdivide and Conquer\u003c\/i\u003e can help conquer rhythmic guesswork and imitation, and liberate accuracy and independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan Alexander Bloom, Robert W.
