Four dotted quarters, then two quarters to finish the second bar. Most notes land off the beat, and it starts over every two bars. Sing it before you play it.
Call & response plays the rhythm once, then gives you the same amount of time to play it back.

Sing it first

Call and response
Turn on Call & response. The trainer plays the rhythm, then you play it back with your own notes.

Move it over
Use Shift the rhythm to start it half a beat or a quarter beat later. The same rhythm in a new place sounds like a new idea.
