It almost couldn’t be written better if the song was intended to be a tool to practice divisions of 3/4 measures! Had to teach it for you beginner/intermediate rhythmic players out there 🙂 Sometimes we see a measure with notes written with the 8th notes at the end of the measure on beat 3 etc… For that reason, this song is a great learning tool because the 8th notes fall in different places depending on which measure you’re in. When learning how to play in a time signature other than 4/4, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of the beat when 8th notes are involved.
