The beginnings of rhythm Rhythm is a way to tell how fast the
notes should be played. We do this by counting BEATS. Listen to a drum
play four equal BEATS.
Click the play arrow twice.
A
MEASURE is a regular grouping of beats (two, three, four or more).
A BAR LINE divides one measure from the next.
Now listen to the drum play 2
measures of 4 equal beats. Notice that there is no pause between the
measures.
