In Music Tech I, the students will learn the basics of rhythmic notation. The topics of times signatures and how note values change according to the time signature, meter (simple and compound), dotted rhythms, tied rhythms, and syncopation will be covered and explored. Students will practice these skills using the Music Lessons I computer programs as well as composing short rhythm only exercises. The number system will be introduced and executed to aid in counting.
