1. What is the difference between the steady beat and the rhythm?

2. How can we tell if a song is in 3/4 time or 4/4 time? Make sure to mention what we can do with our bodies to help us figure out the time signature and how the time signature will sound to our ears if it is correct.

3. Why do we use the quarter note as our “home base” that we measure all other note durations against?

4. Why is timbre an important musical element?

5. What is the difference between a half-step and a whole-step on the piano?

Critical Thinking Questions

1. How are the steady beat and the rhythm similar to raindrops on a river?

2. We discussed that we should study the musical elements so that we can pick up a new piece of music and read it right away. What are two other reasons we should study musical elements, and why?

3. Why is it important that the steady beat stays the same within a piece of music?

4. Why is it important for instruments to have different timbres?

Answer:

1. steady beat (bass drum for example) is consistent, (playing the same thing over and over) while a beat is more in depth about what is taping.

2. in the lines it shows boarder like lines that have(if its 4/4) note, note, note, note | note, note, note(all quarter notes) while 3/4 is, note, note, note | note, note, note etc. (again quarter notes); and one way to keep beat (or maintain) is my taping your foot.

3. the quarter is note has a one count. (tapX1)

4. its the quality of sound and can state if your group sounds good and can determine if they are together.

5. a half step cuts out after 2 held notes and a whole cuts out after the measure(4 notes if its 4/4, 3 if its 3/4 [I think]).

1.1. its soft and reassuring. (?)

2.1.to have a better understanding.

3.1. if it is not, the piece will be uneven, unsteady, and inconsistent

4.4.so you can hear the difference and it does not sound like musicians are playing offbeat.
