RHYTHM · LESSON 08 OF 12 · 4/4

Hear notes between the beats.

Find notes that start on a quieter offbeat while the main pulse continues.

Count along1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &Keep counting the beats even when a sound starts in between.

The idea

Syncopation shifts emphasis away from the expected strong beats. A tied continuation does not start a new note.

See & hearTry an example before the quiz

The first half-beat is silent; enter on its offbeat. The short count-in plays before the example.
