Rhythm Names Part 2 Simple Rests & Dotted Notes

Hi all
To continue with some simple time names in Common Time I will now add 1/4,1/2 and 1/8th note rests.
The important thing with any rests is to hear them as if there are notes there. Using the time names any rest will have a "s" at the start for silent.

Remember you only ever play only on a T or K

First say out loud clapping on the T or K sounds while a metronome keeps the constant beat or pulse..

A Practice Tip.

1  Say the rhythm with metronome.

2  Say the rhythm with metronome and keep constant beat pulse in left or right hand.

3  With the metronome, say the rhythm out loud, keep the pulse in one hand while tapping the rhythm with the other.

 That's it for today .
