14 Clapping and Counting Basic Rhythms

In this section, there are multiple examples of short rhythms presented both visually (on the staff) and aurally (audio recordings). Listen to the audio recordings and try to match the sounds to the associated staff examples. Once you begin to feel comfortable with reading rhythms, try clapping and counting the rhythms by reading them on the staff, then use the audio recording to compare. There is also a Record button below that can be used to record and listen back to your counting and clapping.
