Rythem

In some music, rhythm (the temporal aspect of music) is based on the beat (pulse). The beat can be subdivided (often in twos, threes, or fours, but can be any division), elongated (often doubled, tripled, or quadrupled), or grouped (meter) for different musical effects. Terms related to rhythm include:

• Beat (pulse)
• Tempo (rate of beat or pulse)
• Meter (grouping of beats/pulses)
• Quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, whole note (in notated common practice music).
• Accents
• Syncopation
