“Half-Past Two” is a rock piece for young band intended to reinforce and deepen the students’ understanding of dotted quarter/eighth note rhythms, providing a vehicle for this concept that is fun and memorable for both students and audiences. The title is both an homage to time-inspired rock songs (“25 or 6 to 4,” “Rock Around the Clock,” “Midnight Hour,” etc. . . .) and a nod to the concept being taught—placing a note halfway past beat two.
