Episode 5 - RESTS!
Sweet Potato Music
In this episode we learn about how silences are used in music to make it sound fun and interesting. Filled with stories, example and songs we hear what music would sound like if there were NO rests. The U-Tubers play a bit for us and show us how they use rests to create a funky groove, Reggie Watts shows us how HE uses rests, and some of our listeners take the REST CHALLENGE - singing a song and leaving no silence or space!
