A count in music means how many beats per measure. You inhale deeply before the measure and exhale as you sing.

You know how when you count seconds you say, "one one-thousand, two one-thousand" etc to make sure you speak for a second? Otherwise one is very short.

In music you count "one and".

inhale one and two and three and four and

I keep time with my hands. Slap your hand on your knee "one". Raise your hand "and".

one and two and three and four and
slap raise slap raise slap raise sl ra.

So then when I chant an 8 count I hold the tone for eight. One and two and all the way to eight.

A fast rhythm doesn't use and.

A quick tempo would be: one two one two

No pause on the and. There is always a pulse.

Hope that helps.
