DEFINITION

EXPLAINING RHYTHM

If you don’t play an instrument or haven’t had music lessons before, it can be a bit confusing to understand the difference between the rhythm and the beat in music. The beat is the steady pulse that you feel in the tune, like a clock’s tick. It’s what you would clap along to, or what you feel you want to tap your foot to. The rhythm is the actual sound of the notes, which in a song would be the same as the words.

This is rhythm because the color pattern is going up and down. 

This is rhythm because some of leafs look like they are moving.The leaves look like a wave.
