Time Lines Rhythm Exercise E216
Quarter Rests in 4/4

Exercise E216 features quarter 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. Since there are no notes in this exercise, you can use it as background for any of the other 4/4 exercises or just to practice counting. 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.
