Overview
This module focuses on the basics of notating rhythm, both the symbols for how long a note will last (duration), and how we give instructions for the speed of the music with tempo and metronome marks. Symbols for duration will include whole through sixteenth notes and rests, ties and dots, and some information about how beaming.
Objectives
- Compare the relative duration of notes and rests from whole to sixteenth
- Identify and define tempo markings and modifiers
