Working With Sheet Music…

Music Is often defined as the orderly presentation of silence and sound.

Beat, is the steady underlying pulse or flow found in all music.

Rhythm Is the combinations of short sounds, long sounds and silences or pauses.

With each Beat, most musicians count and tap their foot. just for practice, tap a pencil and count each beat as your animation plays. make sure you’re in perfect sync with the recorded drum track.
