[AbbyThatsMe]

how do you play swing music?

 

[Meghan]

you usually play it in a long-short, long-short pattern

 

[Sushi Minami]

2 eighth notes become two eight-note triplets tied and another eighth-note triplet
look at the top of any jazz sheet music and you'll see how you play it
Also, emphasize the up-beats
Tounge on the up-beats and slur to the downbeat when you're playing eight-notes.
