First QuarterLesson 1: Pulse in Music

Week 1

Introduction

Activity I

Sing “Leron, Leron Sinta” and move to the rhythm of the song.

In music, the duration of sound and silence is important. Duration refers to how long and how short tones and silence last. These tones and silence follow a certain beat. Beat can be felt with or without sound. We clap, walk, tap, march, dance, and play musical instruments to show the rhythm and beat of music.

Remember: • The symbol ( ) shows the pulse of the sound. • Rest ( ) is the symbol used to show silence. • We can feel the pulse through clapping, tapping, walking,

chanting, and playing rhythmic instruments.

Leron leron sinta, buko ng papaya, Dala dala’y buslo, sisidlan ng bunga. Pagdating sa dulo nabali ang sanga, Kapos kapalaran humanap ng iba.

Clap the beat while singing

“Leron, Leron Sinta”.

Give examples of sounds that you hear around us. What movements can you make without creating any

sound?
