The beat is often defined as the rhythm listeners would tap their toes to when listening to a piece of music, or the numbers a musician counting (music), counts while performing, though in practice this may be technically incorrect (often the first multiple level). In popular use, ''beat'' can refer to a variety of related concepts, including pulse (music), pulse, tempo, meter (music), meter, specific rhythms, and groove (popular music), groove. Rhythm in music is characterized by a repeating sequence of #On-beat and off-beat, stressed and unstressed beats (often called "strong" and "weak") and divided into bar (music), bars organized by time signature and tempo indications. Beats are related to and distinguished from pulse, rhythm (grouping), and meter: Meter (music)#Metric structure, Metric levels faster than the ...
