Schaum's Rhythm Workbook series helps the student develop an understanding and feeling for fundamental rhythms and is appropriate for students of all ages. This practical, step-by-step course correlates note and rest recognition with counting, rhythmic drills, various time signatures, and measure construction. Although these books are primarily intended to reinforce the teaching of rhythms, extra benefits can be derived by having the student use them as note reading exercises since rhythms are placed on various notes of the treble or bass staff. The Primer Level can be used with beginners at their very first lesson.  Each book starts where the last left off. Level Four reaches the late intermediate level.
