Rhythm: The Early Bird Gets the Beat (A Nuclear Survivor's Guide to Music Pt. 4)

Now that the foundation of rhythm is established; The central beat, our teacher is able to take it to the next level. While listening to the bickering of the camp-mates, you decide to use the natural rhythm of the birds singing in the trees to introduce the essential building blocks of rhythm: The Quarter Note, the Eighth Note, The Sixteenth Note, and the Triplet. These core note values can be subdivided into the smaller “bricks” of rhythm that drive our entire music system. And, there’s only of them for you to learn (that’s next episode’s task, though.)

Additionally, figure out why we prefer to think of rhythm in terms of starting points (WHEN does the rhythm start) instead of note values (How long does it last for?)

With each exercise, we’ll also use the most rhythm for creating unique beats: Rests. (Aka, not playing at all.)

Get ready to lay down the foundation for your rhythm ear training!
