Triplets are used in this exercise. These patterns consist of 3 notes over 1 beat. They can be counted as 1 - triplet, 2 -triplet etc.
Clap, tap or speak the rhythm keeping a steady beat. Then play the recording to check your work. You do not need to perform the pitches.
4 beats will be played to set up the tempo followed by the rhythm played by the piano.
