Download, print, and post this mini-anchor chart to help you remember the rhythm for the ganza.

Now, try it with a ganza!

Feeling confident? Try the rhythm without the video.

Use the metronome to help you keep a steady beat. Change the BPM to 65 to match the tempo of the video clip.

Take a moment to review this rhythm each day so you won't forget it when you learn newer ones!
