Episode 2: Rhythm and Meter
In this second episode, I do a quick review of topics from lesson 1 (beat and rhythm subdivisions), then we look at a sort of meta concept related to beat (meter), and finally we discover some new rhythm options by subdividing the beat by 3 instead of the regular 2.
Rhythm syllables from lesson 1:
Ta-a (lasts for 2 beats)
Ta (lasts 1 beat)
Ta-di (two syllables inside 1 beat)
Ta-ka-di-mi (four syllables inside 1 beat, so they need to go quickly to all squeeze in)
Rest (silence that can be the length of any of the above syllables)
New rhythm syllables from this lesson:
Ta-ki-de (fits three equal length syllables inside 1 beat, so it's they're a bit quicker than ta-di and a bit slower than ta-ka-di-mi)
Ta--de (replace the 'ki' from a ta-ki-de with continuing the first 'ta' and you get a long-short pattern fitting inside 1 beat that sounds like skipping)
