Trica, when I was in the second grade, I was selected to play the base drum to keep the Elementary school band together and the band instructor, who had a degree in percussion, used to tell me this: "BOOM TICK TICK BOOM TICK TICK". The best way to get it "into your bones" is to listen to a waltz and then sing "BOOM TICK TICK" as you listen. Everyone should write at least one good waltz because there are actually a shortage of them in dance music. i would suggest singing or listening to Laura's Theme from Dr. Zhivago.
