Worksheet 8 - Rhythm Reading exercises for secondary music classrooms This is a single worksheet focusing on developing rhythm reading and can be used in any classroom or ensemble setting. Worksheet 8 - 5/4 time signature. Irregular time signature Each worksheet has 12 patterns. Each 1 bar rhythm pattern is written for 3 bars with a bar for resting and breathing. This gives students a chance to look ahead at the next line. By playing the same pattern for 3 bars it allows students a chance to master that rhythm pattern before going onto a new pattern. It’s perfect for beginner students to focus on rhythm accuracy, separate from reading pitch. I have used this method for many years as a warm up exercise for my ensembles and general music classes. The task can be used as warm up activities, a starting point for composing, homework exercises and rhythm reading assessments. There is a complete series of 10 that is also available on my store. There are play-along recordings of each worksheet on my Youtube channel - Music Theory Made Simple that can be used in the classroom.
