    Chapter 1: Rhythm and Pulse

    CHAPTER 1

    Overture: What are rhythm and pulse?

    • Rhythm and pulse are terms used to


    describe sound patterns and beats
    in music.
    CHAPTER 1

    Pulse in music

    • Pulse is the steady continuous beat in music.


    • When you tap your foot while listening to music, you are probably
    tapping the pulse.
    • The pulse is constant in a piece of music.
    CHAPTER 1

    Rhythm in music

    • Rhythm is the pattern of long and short sounds in music.


    • Pulse and rhythm are very closely related and are two similar
    elements of music.
    • The important difference between pulse and rhythm is that the pulse
    is constant, while the rhythm can change.
    CHAPTER 1

    Note values

    • Notes are the individual sounds in music and each one has a value
    or length.
    • The different values all have a name and a number of beats.
    • The number of beats signifies how long the sound is held for.
    • We can also assign a symbol and a rhyme to each of the note values.
    • Most of the symbols are made up of a head and a stem. The head is
    the round part of the note and the stem is the straight line that comes
    from it
    CHAPTER 1

    Note values
    CHAPTER 1

    Note values

    • Quavers are the shortest note value we will learn about in this unit.
    Quavers can be joined together by a beam.
    • A beam is a horizontal line that joins together two or more quavers.
    • A pair of quavers is the most common arrangement, but we can join
    two pairs together if we need to, which makes a set of four quavers.
    CHAPTER 1

    Rhythm of words

    • Rhythm and note values can also be applied to the words we speak
    and sing.
    • When we want to add rhythm to words, we try to pick note values
    that match and suit each syllable.
    • Here is an example:
    CHAPTER 1

    Body percussion

    • Body percussion is when we use our bodies to create sounds.


    • Ways we can do this include snapping our fingers and slapping our
    legs.
    • Can you think of any other ways to create body percussion sounds?
