What is It

4
 RHYTHM is the most important element of time in music. It is the basic,
repetitive pulse of the music, or the rhythmic pattern that is repeated
throughout the music.
In order to read, identify, and transcribe rhythms you need to become
familiar with rhythm notation and rhythm patterns. This mainly involves

indicating when a note happens, how long it lasts, and what the common rhythm is.

A rhythmic pattern is anything that has some kind of a pulse that can be
repeated. For example, counting “one, two, one, two, one, two…” is a
rhythmic pattern using words.

Here is an example of a simple rhythmic pattern for rhythmic

accompaniment.
