Let’s Recall

​

Complete the sentences below with the correct number of notes or rests.

​

1. A dotted whole note is equal to __________ half notes.

2. One half rest is equal to _________ eighth rests.

3. Two eighth notes are equal to __________ sixteenth rests.

Let’s Understand

​

Rhythmic patterns are grouping of long and short sounds in a given meter. Mastery of beat, meter, measure, and bar lines are important in constructing and performing rhythmic patterns.

​

The regular occurring pulse that you hear and feel in a composition is called beat. It is the heartbeat of music. Meter, on the other hand, is the grouping of notes and rests as units. It may have two, three, or four beats placed in a measure. A measure is the space between two bar lines.

Below are the kinds of meter that group notes and rests to form rhythmic patterns:

• DUPLE METER has two beats in a measure.

​

• TRIPLE METER has three beats in a measure.

• QUADRUPLE METER has four beats in measure.

Let’s Apply

Complete the following rhythmic patterns below using notes and rests.

Let’s Analyze

Draw bar lines to complete each measure. Write the number of beats under each

note or rest.

Let’s Evaluate

Identify the time signature indicated below.

Let’s Create

Create your own rhythmic pattern given the following meter.
