Performing Rhythms
What is the time signature? How many beats are in a bar? What is the tempo? How many beats long is each note? How should I count this? Are there any rests?
Composing Rhythms
What time signature am I using? How many beats are in each bar? Which notes add up to this amount of beats? Have I used rests? Can I or a peer perform my composition? Have I added dynamics?
