21- What's a steady beat and why to start here

Have you heard the words "steady beat" being said a lot, but you're just not quite sure what it means?  In this episode, I'm explaining exactly what a steady beat is and why it's important to start here when it comes to teaching kids music... yes even at home. The steady beat: Is the pulse and is constant Keeps the music moving along Helps instruments in the orchestra or band stay together Can be felt in many different ways Has strong and weak beats Is the foundational building block Here's a version of "Sir Duke" you can listen to.  Listen to a free piano lesson by Jessica here.  Sign up for the Learn Piano At Home course here. Grab your free "Homeschool Music Education Starter Guide" here. Check out the blog, resources, and other content to help your child learn music on this page.  I’d love for you to leave a rating and a review of the podcast on I-tunes, share the podcast with any music teacher friends who would find it helpful, and be sure to tag me on Instagram or Facebook
