What is the difference between beat and rhythm?
What is a time signature?
What is the difference between simple and compound meter?




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. (1 2e+a 3+ 4)



In Music Tech I, the student will:
-Demonstrate the ability to clap rhythmic examples in both simple and compound meters
-Compose short rhythmic excerpts in both simple and compound meter
-label beats and rests in rhythmic examples using the number system
-Compose and perform dotted rhythms






Students will:
-Practice rhythmic skills using the Music Lessons I computer program
-Compose and perform rhythmic examples using the number system in counting
-Listen to music containing complex rhythms to include syncopation, dotted rhythms and meter changes
-Listen to music composed in both simple and compound meters
-Compose rhythmic examples in both simple and compound meters
-Compose rhythmic examples using syncopation, tied notes and dotted rhythms




Assessments will include:
-Student self tests using the Music Lessons I computer program
-Graded rhythmic compositions in both simple and compound meter
-Graded performances of rhythmic examples in both simple and compound meter
-Class participation
-Quizes and tests on note and rest values, time signatures and meter
