Time Lines Rhythm Exercise E204
Quarter Notes in 4/4

Exercise E204 features a combination of quarter notes and rests in 4/4 time. There are four beats in each measure and the quarter note is equal to one beat. This exercise is one measure long, and it is repeated eight times in the video. You can buy Time Lines Book 1 and see all of the rhythm exercises, patterns, and melodies, as well as the Time Games, in a clearly organized format.

You will hear a voice count one measure in tempo (“1-2-3-4”) after which you should start playing the exercise. Listen carefully to the count-off to enter at the right time. The voice will continue to count for two measures. The metronome will continue to sound on every beat for the rest of the example.

This exercise is played at 72 BPM (beats per minute) on the pitch concert C. In the fifth and sixth measures the example sound will stop playing, but you should keep playing during that time so you can hear yourself clearly with the metronome. The example will play again in measure 7. If you would like to practice this exercise at a slower or faster tempo, visit the metronome section of Music All the Time.
