• Rhythmic patterns are categorized into simple time signatures, which use quarter notes or half notes as the time unit, and compound time signatures, which use the dotted eighth note as the time unit . Select the desired time signature (green color indicates selection).
• With Minimum Note Values: Exercises will use patterns with the selected minimum note values. For example, if eighth and sixteenth note values are selected, some exercises will use eighth notes, while others will use sixteenth notes as the minimum value.
• Include Patterns Using: The exercise will include patterns using the selected feature. For example, if Rests and No Rests are both selected, some Exercises will include rests while others may not.
• Do not subdivide beats in compound bars: if this option is selected, the metronome will only play the beats on compound bars (dotted quarter notes in 6/8 time). If unchecked, the metronome will also play on each subdivision. It only affects compound bars.

Listen to the beats. In simple meter, each beat is the time unit of the meter (quarter notes in 2/4, half notes in 2/2). In compound time signature, each beat is a subdivision of the time signature (in 6/8, each beat is an eighth note). To answer:

• Press any key except ENTER/RETURN or R to play the written rhythm.
• Press R to start again, and press ENTER/RETURN when finished.
• Click Start again in case you want to play the rhythm again.
• Click Play it for me if you want to hear the rhythm. All notes will be marked incorrectly unless you have already completed the exercise.

Exercise correction

• Notes that are played too early are marked with a left arrow (), while those that are played too late are marked with a right arrow ().
• The X () is used to mark notes that have not been played.

Tips

• We recommend using a computer or MIDI keyboard to answer. Do not use the button if you have a keyboard.
• When answering, tap the keys, do not leave them pressed. The exercise does not check the duration of the notes, only the attacks.
• You do not need to use too much force.
• For faster notes, you can press different keys with the fingers of both hands.
• The use of the space bar is not recommended.
• Be careful not to press two keys at the same time. The exercise will count this as two notes.
