Reconstruct a heard rhythm using note and rest values.
Listen, count the full phrase, then add note and rest blocks in order. Each block uses time, and a rest creates no attack. Fill the phrase before checking your answer.
Half note → Half note
Listen for attacks and silence, then assemble note and rest durations in order. Your sequence must fill the stated bar.
The phrase fills 1 bar. Read the blocks from left to right: Half note · Half note. A rest uses time without a sounding note.
Quarter note → Quarter rest → Quarter note → Quarter note
Compare a rest with a held note: both can create space, but a rest contains silence whereas the notation records continued note duration separately.
The phrase fills 1 bar. Read the blocks from left to right: Quarter note · Quarter rest · Quarter note · Quarter note. A rest uses time without a sounding note.
Blocks show durations in quarter-note units. R marks a rest; > marks an accented attack. Numbers below each bar are quarter-note positions, which differ from the main beat in 6/8.
Check the idea: The sum of written note and rest values must equal the full bar.
Build one beat at a time with the duration tokens. Check the remaining bar length before submitting; undo the last token if needed.
Write the complete rhythm from the audio, including each rest. Use replay to check positions rather than copying a displayed answer strip.
Reconstruct a newly generated pattern after correction. Its first submitted token sequence is recorded separately from retries.
Each session starts with two guided questions, then your chosen practice set, followed by two new questions at a different tempo. First answers, same-question retries, and the final check have separate results.
