Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Beat and rhythm are not the same thing. We can play rhythms successfully when we are able to hold a steady beat.
- Ta is one beat. Ta-di is also one beat long.
- When we create new music we are composers. We can choose the sounds we like.
Common misconception
Rhythm and beat are the same thing.
The beat is the playing or showing of the steady pulse, like the ticking of a clock. The rhythm is the pattern of sounds we play and sing over the steady beat.
