C. Discussion
What is RHYTHM?
Rhythm is the regular flow of music in time. It is expressed through the notes and rests in a musical
piece. It is also referred to as the pulse or the” heartbeat” and life of music. Rhythm makes you tap your feet,
clap your hands, nod your head, and swing your body. Many of us continue to clap our hands and tap our feet to
the beat of a song, the exciting rhythm of a march or a dance music.
Have you seen people creating sounds through their mouth? Do you like listening to the sounds they
create?
The manner in which a human being is breathing as felt in one’s heartbeat is called pulse or beat in
music.
What is beat?
Beat is the most basic unit of time in music. It is used as a measure to regulate the duration of individual
tones. It also serves as a guide in combining notes of varied durations. Each tone may be equal to one beat.
Some tones may be equal to several beats or just a fraction of a beat.
What is meter?
The word meter comes from the Greek word metron, which means “measure.” Meter is the grouping of
beats in a measure, which could be by twos, threes, or fours. It is a repetitive pattern of stresses or beats that
provides the pulse of music.
What are the differences between simple meter and compound meter?
A. Simple meter is grouped into duple (two), triple (three), quadruple (four).
1. Duple meter – two beats in a measure
What are the kinds of notes and rests and their values?
Look at the table below. These are the different kinds of notes and rests with their time
values.
Study examples:
D. Generalizations
What Rhythm, Beat and Meter?
What does the music compose?
What makes you sway and clap your hands, shake your hips, and move your body when you hear
music? Why do you say so?

IV. Evaluation
Solve the following rhythmic equations. A quarter note = 1. Your answers may not always be whole numbers.
Example: + = 3
With Notes:
1. + + + = _______ 6. + + + + + = _______
2. + + + = _______ 7. + + + + = _______
3. + + + = _______ 8. + + + = _______
4. + + + + + = _______ 9. + + + + = _______
V. Assignment
1. Why do you think that rhythm in music is also called a beat or pulse like the human heartbeat?
2. How is beat important in learning music?
