== Rhythm recognition == {{Unreferenced section|date=June 2016}} One way musicians practise rhythms is by breaking them up into smaller, more easily identifiable sub-patterns.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Ernst|first=Roy|date=2001-07-01|title=Music for Life|url=https://doi.org/10.2307/3399777|journal=Music Educators Journal|language=en|volume=88|issue=1|pages=47β51|doi=10.2307/3399777|jstor=3399777|s2cid=143189775|issn=0027-4321|url-access=subscription}}</ref> For example, one might start by learning the sound of all the combinations of four [[eighth note]]s and eighth rests, and then proceed to string different four-note patterns together. Another way to practise rhythms is by [[muscle memory]], or teaching rhythm to different muscles in the body. One may start by tapping a rhythm with the hands and feet individually, or singing a rhythm on a syllable (e.g. "ta"). Later stages may combine keeping time with the hand, foot, or voice and simultaneously tapping out the rhythm, and beating out multiple overlapping rhythms. A [[metronome]] may be used to assist in maintaining accurate tempo.
