Our unique primary music curriculum is underpinned by a story - explained here. Find out where children 'travel' to on their journeys each week, as their musical learning develops from year R to year 6. The Rhythmajigs are always there to help them, and new characters introduce real vocabulary and concepts as they go. www.rhythmajig.co.uk www.facebook.com/rhythmajig

What do we do? How is Rhythamjig taught? Is it scary? Do children enjoy it? All information and guidance is here. Visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/rhythmajig and see our website at www.rhythmajig.co.uk for more information.

These are the main notation characters. Crotchet (red) has one beat on his top and walks. Minim (blue) has two beats and sli-ides. Quaver twins (yellow) have half a beat each and go jogging. Semibreve (green) has 4 beats and goes whoo-oo-oo-oosh. The semiquaver brothers (multicoloured) have a quarter of a beat each and go running quickly.
