For over 100 years, this cross-genre rhythm has been one of the most universal beats, second only to the downbeat! 🎶 Jazz first introduced it on the hi-hat, Blues moved it to the snare, and soon, Rock ‘n Roll took it even further, influencing classic rock, disco, pop, EDM, and hip-hop. 🌑🌕🌑🌕 Today’s rhythm highlights the backbeat on beats 2 and 4.

To prepare for the performance, she split the students into groups so she could give more personalized attention to students requiring extra support, she said. “The first time they tried to practice you can imagine how that went with different skill levels and abilities,” she said. “But the lightbulb finally clicked.” Ms. Juarez said she knew she wanted to be a music teacher ever since she joined her school band in sixth grade. She said that, as a student, music and band were a place…
