'Do You Want It All?' – Two Door Cinema Club And I don't think it would hurt if some of the music you exposed them to happened to be of the 2010s indie rock variety (such as Two Door Cinema Club) rather than romantic era ballets.

How to fix that? Expose them to music that's written in 5/4 or 7/4, or heck, even 11/4. Technically, 3/4 is a form of asymmetrical simple meter, but way more common than other 'odd' meters such as 5/4 or 7/4, two time signatures that students often have major problems with. I haven't seen the research on it, but it seems that kids can understand 3/4 just fine.

Meaning, of course, they have trouble with asymmetrical simple meter. But every time they count to seven or five, they wait an extra beat when they're done counting. The only problem is, that they count to eight extremely rhythmically, and to six, and especially to four, and to three, and two and then one. And then each hand or foot at a time, counting to seven, then to six, then to five, etc. They shake one hand or foot at a time, each to the count of eight. In Chorus, we do a warm-up/stretch that I refer to as 'Countdown' (which I stole from another director because that's the way music teachers operate!). Do your students have trouble counting to seven? Serious question.
