Rhythm

Beginner

1. ▤Lesson

   Rhythm Basics: Pulse, Bars and Note Values

   What the pulse is, how a bar groups it, what quarter, half and eighth notes are as fractions of the beat, why two eighths are joined by a beam, and what the count-in before an exercise is for.

2. ▤Lesson

   Ties and Dots: Two Ways to Make a Note Longer

   A dot adds half a note's own value, a tie joins two notes into one sound, and neither can do the other's job.

3. ▶Exercise

   Tap the rhythm

   A pattern is drawn and played, and you tap it back — the drill that turns reading a rhythm into playing one.
