Question

My grandson wants to sing 16 bars of Consider Yourself , I have no clue where to stop , in the song.?

Answer 1

16 bars of Consider Yourself would mean he wouldn't be stopping at an appropriate point.  There are 4 beats in a bar, so I'll illustrate below how that would work:

Consider yourself (1 bar)

At home (1 (bar)

Consider yourself (1 bar)

One of the family (1 bar)    (4 so far)

We've taken to you (1 bar)

So strong (1 bar)

It's clear, we're (1 bar)

Going to get along (1 bar)  (8 so far)

Consider yourself (1 bar)

Well in (1 bar)

Consider yourself (1 bar)

Part of the furniture (1 bar)   (12 so far)

There isn't a lot (1 bar)

To spare (1 bar)

Who cares, what (1)

...ever we got, we share (1 bar)  that's 16, and he would have just got to the middle eight, where it changes tune:

If it should chance to be we should see some harder days......etc.

Answer 2

Count 16 beats on your hand

Everyone can pick out the rhythm of the song, just count up to 16 following the rhythm.

There are 4 beats in a bar, remember that and you shouldnt go wrong.

Answer 3
