What your child will figure out

• Place and accent discrete attacks on a shared 16-subdivision measure.
• Rotate one layer into alignment while distinguishing phase from tempo.
• Create syncopation by shifting emphasis toward off-beat subdivisions without changing speed.
• Recreate an unfamiliar layer that complements an ensemble at a shared downbeat.
