Beat and Rhythm in music - power point gr.4

MUSIC 4

1. o

Beat & Rhythm What is the difference?

2. The Beat is steady, like your heart.
Sometimes it is fast, sometimes it is slow, but it is

always steady!

3. * Beat in music is the center of everything—if notes
are words, rhythm is letters that form and structure
each word and each sentence,

® A beat is the basic unit of time in music, and when
repeated in a regular pattern it creates a pulse.

* Essentially, rhythm is the language that musicians
and artists use to play together. It tells the audience
when to clap and dancers when to dance too!

4. Music is usually divided into bars. Each bar is
divided with bar lines. A time signature tells us how
many BEATS are in each bar!

5. + Rhythm in all aspects of life is a regularly recurring pattern over
time.

+ Many things in our lives have rhythm,

* In music, rhythm is specifically a regular repetition or grouping of beats,
specifically how unaccented beats are grouped around accented
eats.

+ The term rhythm is closely related to the term beat, as well
as pulse and meter.

+ To fully understand rhythm and the definition above, we need to unpack
what each of these three terms mean.

12. Summing Up

Rhythm is to time what melody and harmony is to
pitch or frequency; it divides the abstract
concept of time into discrete and measurable
segments.

It is often the least thought of major aspect of
music, but it is just as important.
