Pussy cat, pussy cat

Pussy cat, pussy cat where have you been?

I've been up to London to visit the Queen.

Pussy cat pussy cat what did you there?

I frightened a little mouse under her chair!

DEVELOPS: rhythm and beat

 

Rhythm is a strong, regular repeated pattern of sound. It is the actual sound of the notes, or words which are in a song.

Beat is the foundation of rhythm. It is the steady, repetition in music, like a clock's tick.  Tapping your foot to music is tapping the beat.
