These are the instructions I give to my students:
Working with the rhythm worksheets on this page is a great way to
build and reinforce your counting skills. We all know that pitches
are important, but playing those pitches at the right time is the key to
successful performance. Begin by reading the "Instructions for
Rhythm Worksheets." To get the most out of these worksheets you
should:
- Begin with Rhythm Worksheet No. 1 and pencil in the counting
according to instructions
- "Clap and count" each line
- Play each line on your instrument using a single note or the
notes from a scale of your choice. Change pitches at each
barline.
If you have any questions,
be sure to ask at your next lesson.
