rhythm notation
Rhythm notation is a system used in music to represent the timing and duration of sounds. It uses symbols like notes and rests to indicate how long each sound or silence lasts within a piece. Notes have different shapes and values, such as whole, half, quarter, and eighth notes, showing their duration relative to each other. Rests indicate pauses or silence. Time signatures, like 4/4 or 3/4, set the overall beat structure. Together, these symbols guide musicians to play or interpret the music accurately, creating a consistent and expressive flow.
