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 BAR is a regular grouping of beats (two, three, four or more).
A BAR LINE divides one bar from the next.
Now listen to the drum play 2 bars of
4 equal beats. Notice that there is no pause between the bars.
