Select a link below to listen to and play along with rhythm patterns with dotted half notes, whole notes, and whole rests in 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures from Unit 4 of Time Lines. These patterns also include half notes, half rests, quarter notes, and quarter rests. Each pattern is four measures long and features different combinations of the Unit 4 exercises.
