What is beat? Beat is the most basic
unit of time in music. It is used as a
measure to regulate the duration of
individual tones. It also serves as a guide
in combining notes of varied durations
Each tone may be equal to one beat.
Some tones may be equal to
several beats or just a fraction of a beat

What are the symbols used for the
accented beats and unaccented beats?
Rhythm is the movement of sound with
accented and unaccented beats in a
musical composition. The strong beat
which is stressed or accented is
represented by the symbol (>)a and the
weak beat which is unstressed or
unaccented uses no symbol.

The word meter comes from the Greek
word metron, which means "measure."
Meter is the grouping of beats in a
measure, which could be by twos,
threes, or fours. It is a repetitive pattern
of stresses or beats that provides the
pulse of music

A time signature is compound if the
upper number is greater than three and
can be
divided by three. The lower number
indicates the note value for the
subdivision of the beat. Since 8 is the
lower number in the O 8 time signature,
the eighth note O (P) gets one beat
Aside from the 8 O time signature, other
compound meters are 8 O and 8 12
signatures. In the 8 O time signature,
there are six eighth notes in a measure.
You may wonderwhy the O 8 time
signature cannot just be reduced to 3 4
time signature. After all, you come up
with the same amount when you do. One
reason is that the 8 O time signature iS
divided into two groups of three eighth
notes, while the 3 4 time signature is
grouped into three sets of two eighth
notes. Therefore, 6 feels more like two,
while 3 feels more like three. On the
other hand, songs with 3 4 time
signature can also be conducted in 8 O
time signature
Look at the beat pattern of O 8 time
signature. Stomp your feet to the sound
of the accented beat and clap your
hands to the sound of the unaccented
beats

How do you say the rhythmic syllables
for each note? Rhythmic syllables are
also called "French time names" or the
"Galin-Paris- Chevesystem" or, in
French, langue
des durées. The French musician and
teacher, Émile- Joseph Chevé (1804-
1864), was one of the firsts to suggest
that rhythm could be taught using words
chosen to verbally imitate rhythmic
patterns commonly found in European or
Western music. Each note has an
equivalent rhythmic syllable, which helps
in learning rhythm more accurately.
Recite the rhythmic syllable of the
following

Have you ever watched an orchestra, a
rondalla group, or a choral performance?
The one who is leading an orchestra,
chorale, and other instrumental group is
called a conductor. He/She is the
authority and leader of a group of
musicians who helps produce good
musical performance. He/She directs by
waving his/her hands using a stckanoud
stick-like too called a baton. He/She
motions when he/she wants the
musicians to play fast or slow, or soft.
He/She helps them express the way the
composer intended the music to sound.

Rhythmic patterns refer to the
combination of notes and rests with long
and short durations or different time
values. These combinations of notes and
rests are formed into measures which
are divided by bar lines. A bar line is a
line that divides a group of notes into
measures Rhythmic patterns are also
indicated by the words and syllables of
the words. Time signature is a fraction-
like number written at the beginning of a
staff. The upper number tells the number
of beats in each measure. The lower
number tells the kind of note that
receives one beat. Conducting is a hand
gesture to lead singers and
instrumentalists on how to sing, play an
instrument, and perform very well by
following the signs, symbols, and the
right rhythm of a particular piece of

Conducting is the art of directing hhe

simultaneous musical performances of
severa players or singers by the use of
visible hand gestuire and sometimes with
the use of a baton or a conductors stick.
Orchestras,:choirs, concert bands, and
other musical ensembles often have
conductors who also use eye contact
with important performers in the group.
The conductor typically stands on a
raised podium with a large music stand
for the full music score or sheet of the
performance. The main task of a
conductor is to keep all performers
together and on track with the music as
well as to bring a sense of unity and a
beautiful interpretation of a given musical
piece
What is a time signature?
Time signature, as you have learned, is a
fraction-like number written at the
beginning of a musical staff. The upper
number tells the number of beats in each
measure. The lower number tells the
kind of note that receives one beat.
HOW is a 8 O time signature performed
and conducted? The 8 O time signature
is a compound meter. Since the upper
number is greater than 3 and can be
divided by 3, it is considered compound
The lower number indicates the note
value for the subdivision of the beat. The
number 8 is the lower number in this time
signature, and therefore the 8th note ())
gets one beat. Aside from the CO S time
signature other compound meters are 9
and 12. In the 8 O time signature, there
are six 8th notes in a measure. The
strong accent (>) appears on the first
beat of the measure. This just means
that the 1st beat is sounded strongly
compared to the other notes. A
moderately loud beat which is
represented by a small diagonal line (\),
is found on the 4th beat of the measure
which is sounded a little softer than the
1st beat.
You may wonder why the O 8 time
signature cannot just be reduced to 4 3
time signature After all, you come up with
the same sum when you do.

To further explain how 4 3 and and 8 6

differ, study and clap the following

There are songs with incomplete
measures, meaning, the first measure in
a piece of music is actually connected or
is a part of the last measure In
conducting, you do not always start with
the down beat. In order to make the
measure complete, the last incomplete
measure in the piece is usually a
continuation or a part of the first
measure, which may start with the 2nd,
or the other succeeding beats other than
