enjoyable.

In standard notation, rhythm is indicated on a musical bar line, but there are other ways
to visualize it that can be more intuitive. John describes the wheel method of tracing
rhythm and takes us on a musical journey around the world while he’s at it. There’s more
to the lesson here, that include a quiz and additional resources.

Once you get used to this method you’ll nd that you’ll no longer get confused whenever
presented with the cadence of a new genre of music, which is the point. TED-Ed
presentations are especially good at presenting this type of information. I hope to see
more in the future.
