Array.push(...) takes multiple arguments to append to the list. If you put them in an array itself, this very array of "beats" will be appended.

Array.concat(...) is most likely not what you are looking for, because it generates a new array instead of appending to the existing one.

You can use [].push.apply(Array, arg_list) to append the items of the argument list:

this.addBeats = function(beats) { 
    return [].push.apply(this.beats, beats);
};
