Self-Contained Classes

The first thing we want to understand in music is the beat. A beat is a steady pulse, like our heartbeat. A steady beat always stays the same. Here is a video to help us understand the beat. As we always say, "The beat is the heart of.... music!"

Next, we want to understand patterns known as rhythms. Rhythms are made up of different kinds of notes, like quarter notes, half notes and eighth notes.

When we create rhythm patterns using notes, but also using rests. Rests are sounds of silence. It's time to "Take A Rest"...

When we sing, we can sing notes that are high, notes that are low, and notes in the middle!
