Rhythm Skills

Here is a page for working on your rhythm reading skills! Here is a review of the rhythms we learned from our Word Wall in first grade:

This video is a demonstration of rhythm patterns with quarter notes and eighth notes from 0:00-1:13. At 1:14, half notes are introduced. Don't worry about doing this section of the video- just 0:01-1:13. We will learn half notes later in the school year. Try to clap and say the rhythms.

This video is a demonstration of rhythm patterns with quarter notes, eighth notes and quarter rests. Half notes are added in at 1:58. As with the first video, just do the section with quarter notes, eighth notes and quarter rests- 0:01-1:57.

These two videos are more challenging for reading rhythms in that they are not demonstrated. Also, there is a drumbeat sound in the background. Have fun and do your best!
