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.

Engage your children with this short story, reinforcing Crochet's movements.

These can be used to support peri teaching or whole class instrumental work. Look out for Autumn 2 Year 4 planning- coming soon- where sharps and flats are explored with the help of cool characters, through songs, instrumental pieces and stories. All planning and resources are available through annual subscription at www.rhythmajig.co.uk www.facebook.com/rhythmajig

We love ocarinas at Rhythmajig! Even year R children can play 2 or 3 notes on these tuned instruments confidently when taught through our fun characters and stories.

Ideal for Early Years and KS1, this simple story introduces Restful Mouse as a character who needs quiet to rest!

Ostinato Owl has coloured feathers and likes to collect colourful musical patterns (red for crotchet, blue for minim, etc).

A simple activity to introduce the concept of high and low pitch. Ideal for all age groups. www.rhythmajig.co.uk www.facebook.com/rhythmajig

Print these or display them on the interactive whiteboard, then clap or play the rhythms as a class. Using the Rhythmajig characters, who are colour coded and easily memorable, helps children read and play notation accurately. www.rhythmajig.co.uk

Poster explaining which instruments use the treble and bass clef in their sheet music, with illustrations. King Bass and Queen Treble resources also available to enhance learning through characters and stories. www.rhythmajig.co.uk www.facebook.com/rhythmajig

Teach your children awareness of pitch using the Do Do Birds. Their colours match boomwhackers and their positions show variations of pitch. Their wings also are shaped into the hand signals of the Sol Fa scale! On our website www.rhythmajig.co.uk there's an interactive game featuring singing Do Do birds- hover over the birds and they will sing to you. Available through subscription- request a free trial at enquiries@rhythmajig.co.uk for 30 days' free access!

This is an ideal Easter project. Learn the melody to 'Hot Cross Buns' on whichever tuned instrument you have available in school. Super Stave will help your class work out which notes are on the stave, whilst the Rhythmajig characters help with the rhythmaic notation! Complete primary music scheme bundles including lesson plans, songs/ sheet music and resources are available in our TES shop for half termly units of work (year groups R-6). www.rhythmajig.co.uk www.facebook.com/rhythmajig

The Rhythmajig characters help children remember the duration of notes easily, naming written notation, enabling them to begin to read music on the stave. Each character has a different colour, action and personality. Once children are familiar with the characters they can build their own rhythmic patterns (ostinati) through composition activities, writing music using real notation. www.rhythmajig.co.uk www.facebook.com/rhythmajig

Useful as an extension activity for group work, or as a whole class plenary to rehearse listening skills.

Motivate your class to tidy up with this catchy tune! Find out what we can offer your school - a full primary music scheme for year R-6 with lesson plans, resources and songs all held on our website www.rhythmajig.co.uk www.facebook.com/rhythmajig

Printable chocolate bars and coloured beats which are matched to the correct sizes to fill the bar. Print, cut out and distribute to groups or individuals. Ask children to place the coloured notation cards on top of the chocolate bar to compose their own bar of music, this can then be played using percussion or developed into a tuned composition. the colours correspond to the characters. Crotchets (red, one beat), minims, (blue, 2 beats), quavers (yellow, half a beat each), semiquavers (multicoloured, a quarter of a beat each), semibreves (green, 4 beats each) or crotchet rests (white, 1 beat each). www.rhythmajig.co.uk www.facebook.com/rhythmajig

Crotchet has one beat (check his top for the heart beat). Children can chant these words and make nonsense word rhythms to mimic Crotchet as he goes walk-walk-walk-walk.

Children learn to associate the semiquaver brothers' rhythm with their characteristics: 'multicoloured' and 'running quickly'. This word bank provides an opportunity for children to match word rhythms to the characters' notation.

A simple song to begin your Rhythmajig lesson. Insert the names of the children, and your own name, to welcome them and to begin musical learning. www.rhythmajig.co.uk www.facebook.com/rhythmajig

At www.rhythmajig.co.uk we pride ourselves on teaching real concepts, real music, real notation, real progression. No note name stickers on keyboards for us- we use the characters Derrick and Fangs to teach note names.
