David A. Tanzer, October 2023. Unit: Time in Music – All Posts – First Post

Welcome to time in music! This series of posts will explain key concepts for time in music, including beat, pulse, beat size, cut-time, measure, phrase, count, meter and time signature. This material sets a foundation for further explorations of rhythm. We conclude by applying it to the basic time structures for a few forms of Latin music, including samba.

This unit was reviewed by Fabiano Salek.
