FOCUS on what MATTERS
THE BEAT
MUSIC has several elements that are organized uniquely by an individual. One of the elements that is mostly overlooked by beginning learners. Beginners would often take a different path, beginning with melody, rhythm or possibly chords. But did you know that THE BEAT is the CORE element to achieving better musicianship?
What is a Beat?
BEAT and PULSE are the same
The beat/pulse is STEADY and CONTINUOUS
The TEMPO (speed) will affect how the beat/pulse moves
Practice
1. Body Movements
There is no other way to feel the beat naturally then through our body. Watch and move along to the beat of the music.
2. Using any objects or digital tools
Each box represents a beat.
