Can you keep a beat?!?

Last week we created all sorts of shapes. This week we learn all about keeping the beat through our rhythm study!  Dont forget Quiz on Tuesday (written & performance)

Rhythm

Rhythm – division beat

Tempo - speed

Full time- original beat

Half time- half as slow as original beat

Double time- twice as fast as original beat

Half time:        1          2          3          4

Full time:         1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8

Double time:   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8+

Time signature: fraction telling the number of beats per measure

                                    4                3

                                    4                4

Silence – what divides the beat to create rhythm (just as important as noise)
