Which best describes 32-count phrased music?

  1. It has a steady beat throughout

  2. There is an audible build-up every 32 counts

  3. It can vary in tempo

  4. It is primarily instrumental

The correct answer is: There is an audible build-up every 32 counts

32-count phrased music is characterized by its structure, where musical phrases typically repeat every 32 beats, often creating a predictable pattern for choreographers and participants in group fitness settings. The audible build-up or change that occurs every 32 counts serves as a cue for instructors and participants, allowing them to synchronize movements with the music effectively. This specific phrasing helps in designing routines that align with the musical changes, enriching the overall experience and flow of the class. While there may be a steady beat throughout, variations in tempo are common in various music genres. The presence of instrumental components doesn't solely define 32-count phrasing; rather, it's the structure and repetition of the phrases that are the hallmark of this music format.
