I thought I'd explain how I use the rhythm
cards in case you are wondering. I use this
terminology:
quarter note=ta
half note= ta 2
dotted half note= ta 2 3
whole note= ta 2 3 4
2 eighth notes= ti-ti
rest=shh
I would say the card aloud, the kids repeat.
Once the kids are proficient, you can add
clapping and/or rhythm sticks.
I'll give you examples of how I would "say" the cards:
(Others might not do it this way, but this works for us.)
Above:
1) ta ta ta shh
2) ta 2 ta shh
3) ta 2 3 ta
Above:
1) ti-ti ti-ti ta ti-ti
2) ta ti-ti ti-ti ta
2) ti-ti shh ti-ti ta
Above:
1) ta ti-ti ta 2
2) ta 2 3 ti-ti
3) ti-ti shh shh ta
