What is Rhythm?
Think about your heartbeat... What patterns do you notice in music? How does music make you want to move?

Rhythm is the pattern of sounds and silences It happens over time Every song has a rhythm Our bodies naturally feel rhythm
Feel the Steady Beat
Stand in a circle Tap your chest gently Follow the teacher's clapping Keep the beat steady and strong
