Beginner
25 Minutes
Introduction
This lesson will teach students the difference between steady beat/pulse and long/short rhythms. Students will become familiar with hearing a steady beat played while performing simple quarter and eighth note rhythms on top of it. This lesson will guide students through building these simple rhythms and give them time to improvise their own combinations of long/short to perform with the steady beat. By the end of this lesson, students will be able to create their own short rhythms with quarter and eighth notes.
