The document discusses the concept of beat in music. It defines beat as the underlying pulse of a piece of music, often called the steady beat because it remains constant like a clock. It explains that steady beats are regular sounds that mark a specific time without changing speed. The document provides examples of objects that do and do not have a steady beat and instructs students to identify these and engage in related music and art activities.
