How do you know? • Music is Rhythm • Rhythm is one of the most important ‘elements’ of music. • Without rhythm, a piece of music does not make sense and has no real meaning. • When we talk about rhythm we mainly refer to: • the tempo (speed) • the duration of the notes (quavers, crotchets etc.) • the beat (pulse) • and when we compare music, we have to think about all these • things. • Rhythms are used in lots of different ways in different types of music and in different cultures. Think how important a beat is in • pop and rock music for example. In some African music, drums • are the most important instrument and ‘speak’ their own • language . • Your Task: In groups, you are going to compose 3 short pieces of music using percussion instruments: • a piece that you count ‘4’ to • a piece that you count ‘3’ to • a piece that has no beat

A lonely man from Yorkshire Had the most wonderful idea: He made his hair curl And dressed as a girl And was married by the end of the year.
