Hemiola and Syncopated Rhythms 

In this syncopated melody, the accent begins on the second half of the first beat and last for one beat and continue with the same pattern. At the beginning of each bar, there is a half-beat rest that begins each bar on the offbeat and continues with the other two beats in each bar as an offbeat.
