Links to rhythm videos to practice at home

Reminder: try to go through each rhythm multiple times.

1st time through- listen

2nd time through- say the rhythm syllables

3rd time through- say the rhythm syllables while clapping

4th time through- Make the downbeat (Beat 1) a different body percussion move (ex. a stomp)

5th time through- pat one measure with the right hand and then clap the next measure with the left hand

P.S. Ignore the titles of some of these videos, people on YouTube are not always the most encouraging... you are awesome and these videos are there to help you become even more awesome.
