I have built this powerpoint using the 1/2 beat rhythms from ‘Little Kids Rock’. It is really great for engaging students with a mindful rhythm activity of counting, then counting and clapping, then clapping the rhythms. It builds confidence and knowledge in understanding how to use and create rhythms. It is even more enjoyable when used with a ‘style’ or pop music to help the tempo stay steady. I have inserted a simple guide to notation above the number of beats to introduce students to the concept of written notation. I highly recommend giving this a go with your key stage 2 and 3 classes.

This worksheet is designed for beginner to intermediate learners. It shows the pitches of the treble and bass clefs on the stave with space underneath for students to learn how to do this themselves. It has the flexibility for you to use in your own way. It is also ideal as a differentiated resource for those who find the concept challenging.
