INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC NOTATION
All musicians use Rhythm Notation.
In this layer, you will learn to become skilled at performing various basic rhythms. At first you will learn these skills away from your instruments, so that when it is time to produce sounds, rhythm skills will already be mastered.
I have asked Scroll to come by and share a little about the origins of rhythm and its notation. Scroll is here to teach you:
A BRIEF HISTORY OF RHYTHM.
After Scroll’s lesson, you will be introduced to my upbeat assistants.
For now, please enjoy learning all about the History of Rhythm. I’ll be back later.
