Music Composition Flash Cards (by date, latest first)

Included in these rhythm bundle are 25 resources that you can utilize in grades 3-6. Games, dictation, worksheets, races, and more are in this bundle as the resources discuss longer rhythmic patterns, sixteenth notes, triplets, and long durations of rests.

Definitely a semester filler in here, terrific for reinforcing your 2nd half of the year with some of your upper grades, and with 30% off when bundled together, it's a sale you can't beat!

For your printouts and powerpoints, this pack of notation has everything -- Wholes, Halves, Quarters, Eighths, and Sixteenths. The notation is vectorized and transparent, so it will fit alongside any background in powerpoint There are word files with notation templates included as well, if you'd like to print multiple of one note You can use these to make flash cards, rhythm building, and much more!

If you're working on melodic contours, high and low, and direction, this may be for you!

Included are 16 printable cards you can reproduce, cut out, and issue to your students.

Play these melodies on a piano, clarinet, slide whistle, however you wish! Then, ask the students to place the card which they think best resembled the melody you played.
Although there are 16 cards, you can ask students to do 4 cards a time (by telling them which cards they are to us), play the melody, and then they can choose from the multiple choice answers you allotted to them.

The image files can be put into a powerpoint as well and you can us it as an answer key after you play the melodic example.

Have fun with this on your quest to discover melodious melodies

Terms of Use:

All images/photos/clip art in this resource were created by me.

A wild request from a Facebook group, here's Among Rhythm, a game where students will perform rhythm "tasks" before advancing through the game to the end.

Students will play this as the "Crewmates" and view a rhythm. Teachers will ask the students to perform the rhythm (spoken, clapped, or performed) and then advance the slide to the next task

There are 20 different tasks with Quarter Notes, Eighth Notes, Quarter Rests, Half Notes, and Dynamics (also reading rhythms up and down!)

You can play this with mysterious music in the background to set an ambient game mood.

Enjoy!

No need to have drums, recorders, or even auxiliary instruments for this one! If you don't have access, are traveling to rooms, or want to give a change to your curriculum try "Body Percussion Warmups"!

There are 10 warmups in each level with CLAPS, SNAPS, STOMPS, and SNAPS, all indicated on the powerpoint slide. Count your kids off with a few prep beats and watch them go!

Also terrific for reading in some of the younger grades who are not familiar with standard notation and need a warmup to reading using these icons.

Use the included background tracks (90bpm to 110bpm) or put on your favorite music so the kids can jam along!

Here are the 4 levels:

• Level 1 - Quarter Note Rhythms
• Level 2 - Quarter and Eighth Note Rhythms
• Level 3 - Adding in Quarter Rests
• Level 4 - Six Beat Rhythms (with Quarters, Eighths, and Quarter Rests)

Plugged in and ready-to-use and fully editable with and high quality notation is right at your fingertips with this reproducable resource of Rhythm and Beat Printables!

Print these out as a class set, individually, or however you deem appropriate to use in your music classroom. Whether students are composing their own rhythms to perform, using rhythms for a dictation assignment, or any other creative usage (such as flash cards or improvisation), this will have you set to go!

Included rhythms are in the preview (from quarter, halves, and wholes down to sixteenths and triplets) and contains 37 pages of rhythms you're free to print out!

SET 1: One Measure cards in 4/4 time using Quarter and Eighth Notes, and Quarter Rests.
