Counting Beats HUR2

Hi guys,

Welcome to my Blog. Today I will be sharing what I have learnt so far in HUR 2 Which is Counting Beats. 

What is Music? Music is sound and beat that can be made by anything Like a Ruler,Pencil,Drums,Guitar and many other things. 

Where can you find music? You can find music on Spotify,YouTube,Radio,Sound cloud, Jamendo and also many other things like TV. 

One day I hope to learn how to play the drums a bit more. I already know how to play the drums but I wish I had more time to spend at school or anywhere to play more. Drumming makes me feel good and relaxed most of the time I play it when there is one at school or anywhere else.

Here Are Some Instruments that you can play and make music out of it.

    

These 3 Instruments can make music Which is. Guitar,Drums and Flute. These 3 beats are use a lot in music. like country,classical and other songs.

I hope you have learned something about counting beats and how you could make music out of any item. Make sure to try some of these items and see how good you are at it.
