RHYTHMIC PATTERN                                                                                                                                                            -Rhythm is the pattern of sound, silence, and emphasis in a song. In music theory, rhythm refers to the recurrence of notes and rests (silences) in time. When a series of notes and rests repeats, it forms a rhythmic pattern. This creates different note durations and different types of accents. 2/4                                                                                                                                                            -A time signature of 2-4 means there are 2 quarter beats in each measure. A time signature of 2-2 means there are 2 half beats in each measure. -A time signature of 2-4 means there are 2 quarter beats in each measure. 3/4                                                                                                                                                                  -In the second most common meter, 3/4, each measure has three quarter note beats. You may have one half note and one quarter note, or you may have six eighth notes, but either way, the combination equals three quarter note beats. In 3/4 meter, beat 1 of each measure is the downbeat, and beats 2 and 3 are the upbeats. -The time signature 3/4 tells a musician that a quarter note represents one beat in a measure (the lower number) and that there will be three beats in each measure (the top number). 4/4                                                                                                                                                                      -A piece with a time signature of 4/4 has four quarter note beats; each measure with a 3/4 meter has three quarter note beats; and each measure of 2/4 time has two quarter note beats. -In 4/4 time a whole note gets FOUR beats; a half note gets TWO beats, and a quarter note gets ONE beat. Based on what you saw above, that 4/4 time signatures mean four beats to the measure and the quarter note gets the beat, 18.
