Bars
One more look at what you missed.
Listen: a low note starts each group.
The beats fall into groups of four. You can hear where each group begins.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
A group of beats is a bar, also called a measure.
In music like this, every bar has the same number of beats. On paper, a vertical line called a barline closes each bar.
How many bars of four do you hear?
A barline is not a pause.
It takes no time at all. Keep the beat going straight across it.
The line through the middle is a barline. Tap straight across it without stopping.
Every bar begins on beat one.
The count starts again at one after each barline: one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.
In bars of four, which number comes right after a barline?
You know what a bar is.
