Mark the beat — intermediate

Feel the steady pulse with quarter notes and quarter rests: each rest is a silent beat you must count just like a note.

1. Step 1Each quarter note equals one beat of the pulse: tap it right on the beat.
2. Step 2A quarter rest is a silent beat: count it just like a note, but don't tap.
3. Step 3Keep the beat steady through the rests; the pulse never stops.
