Worksheet 17 - 5/8 Rhythm Reading exercise for KS3 & KS4 music classes

This is a single worksheet focusing on developing rhythm reading and can be used in any classroom or ensemble setting.

Worksheet 17 - 5/8 time signature. Dotted rhythms, semiquavers (16th) and rests.

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 in book 2 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.
