## FOCUS 
- This lesson explains triplets in blues music, where beats are subdivided into three, and aims to train the ear to recognize this rhythm in songs.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Listen to songs to identify when the triplet rhythm appears and disappears.
- Practice hearing triplets as a constant underlying bass rhythm in slow blues.
- Use examples to detect triplets at the end or middle of musical phrases.

##REMEMBER
- Triplets involve three subdivisions per beat, common in blues music.
- This rhythm can be consistent or vary throughout a song.
- Recognizing triplets helps in applying them to dance footwork later.
