This lesson will build on skills we learned from lesson four. We will start mixing up the rhythm using half notes and quarter notes. If you are unsure about what these are review lesson three.
Our first exercise only uses half notes and half rests.
As you listen to it, clap the rhythm. To help get the feel for half notes, hold your hands together for two counts when you clap a half note.
When you feel confident you understand the rhythm move on in the lesson.
