Hi folks, any advice on getting the rhythum/beat for this piece would be very helpful. In general I'm fine with the 123 456 count for 6 8 time. I'm getting a little stuck though when the count starts the beat on a 16th note. Like do I go 123 and 4 and 5 6? I'm probably over thinking it but thought asking for help would be simplest :)

This occurs on the 456 count in the 3rd measure and start of the 4th measure.

Actually, also confused by the rest in the bottom line for the first measure. Shouldn't that only rest for 4 beats? Or is the convention that while its a whole note rest it rests for the whole measure regardless of time signature?

Thanks in advance

(edited to add and shrink the picture of the music, thought I don't think its working)
