Lessons ยท Unit 6: Rhythm II

Melodies with rhythm

The melodies in this lesson mix quarters, halves and eighths. Eighths go by fast, so there is no time to count: pitch is read from the movement and rhythm from the shape of the notes. At the end the whole melody plays.

Eighths, quarters and halves over two bars

Mastering this lesson closes the unit and opens the bass clef.
