For example, if the
>> chorus is sustaining a whole note in 4/4 time, I teach that they must
>> sustain for four beats and begin silence on the first beat of the next
>> measure
I show them a ruler and starting at "1" ask them where the end of 4 inches is.
I also speak of rests as silences - "On which beat does the silence begin?"
All the best,
Lawrence
