Answer to Question 1

 Rhythm in music is a patterned recurrence of related (or connected) sound events in time. The sounds of a heartbeat or a person walking are examples of rhythm.
 Randomly occurring, unconnected sounds are not rhythmic. Sounds of people eating at a crowded public restaurant are not considered rhythmic.

Answer to Question 2


  • Music is sound that is humanly patterned or organized. Music is humanly constructed like all other aspects of culture.

  • Listen again to Postal workers online and consider whether or not the example is music. Most listeners from the Western music-culture would classify the example as music. How could the example not be considered music? Where do you stand on the issue and why? (Views may differ.)

  • According to Koetting who observed and described the music of the postal workers, these men did not quite think of themselves as musicians who were performing music and creating a musical event. Rather they thought of themselves as simply postal workers who were coordinating their work efforts.

  • Let students discuss their own examples that illustrate sound as music vs. sound as non-music.

  • Work Song is found in music-cultures all over the world. The postal workers turned life into art.
