E xample of compound time:
In compound time, each beat is divided into 3, in contrast with the simple time where each beat is divided into 2.
In this case, there are 4 beats, i.e. compound quadruple time.
STEP 2: Performing of various metres
As soon as you are familiar with the different beat meters, you can perform them in the following manner:
- Body percussion
Combination of clapping, hitting fists against each other, clap on thighs
- drums
Combination of various drum techniques ( slap, tone, bass )

Have you ever wondered who is responsible for everything you see and hear in a production? Why is the production being presented? Who is responsible for the programme? Where do the funds for the costumes come from? Who is responsible for the sound effects?

STEP 2: Individual
From the discussion and decision-making process, you will have realised that you do not only need an orchestra and singers for the production!

- administrative: (e.g. financial aspects, fund-raisers, tickets)
- artistic: (e.g. dancers, designers)
- technical: (e.g. lights)
Name four advantages that a production has for the community:
STEP 3: Individual
Study the following table. The educator will define each aspect.
Then you must indicate which section or sub-section interests you. Take your talents and interests into consideration - do not be modest!
