RHYTHM · LESSON 03 OF 12 · 4/4

Hold a note for longer.

Listen for notes that keep sounding, even when the next beat arrives.

Count along1 — 2 — 3 — 4Count the held beats, but tap only when a new sound starts.

The idea

A dot adds half the note’s value. A tie connects two notes into one continuous sound; the second note is not played again.
