This innovative approach to rhythm learning provides motivation, stimulation and practice for your students in a fun, whole-class or cooperative-learning situation. The rhythms in volume 1 are divided into two levels of difficulty and each of the 48 cards (8 1/2 x 11) features a common rhythm pattern. Volume 2 extends rhythm reading to include patterns in cut time, 3/4, 6/8, and 5/4. Both sides of the cards are laminated for durability and for use with wipe-away dry erase markers. This allows you to create your own rhythm patterns for students to read, or for the students to use in learning to write notes and rhythms, rhythm dictation, and a variety of other fun rhythm activities. Each kit includes an easy-to-use instruction booklet. Use the Rock and Raps Rhythm Tracks CD, Pepper #3213691, to add some sizzle to your flashcard practice.
