New Rhythms: Eighth note and Dotted Quarter note
- An eighth note gets one half of a beat. Tap your foot twice for every beat (one-and-two-and-three-and-four-and). Every tap is the length of an eighth note.
- A dotted quarter note gets one and a half beats. When you're playing, tap eighth notes with your foot. This note will last for three eighth notes.
