What Is Rhythm?
Rhythm is all about patterns of sounds! For example, when you clap your hands like this: clap-clap-pause, clap-clap-pause, that’s a rhythm! Isn’t that fun? Did you know your heartbeat has a rhythm too? It goes thump, thump, thump, just like a drum! Music is full of rhythm as well — it’s what makes you want to dance and move your body! When you listen to your favorite songs, can you hear the rhythm? Let’s take a moment to listen for rhythms in the world around us! You might hear the sound of rain tapping on the window or the birds chirping outside. All these sounds have their own special rhythms! So, let’s get ready to explore and have fun with rhythm together!
