Duple Rhythm Patterns

These Rhythm patterns go well with the article Mr. Michael posted yesterday.  These are duple patterns and I will be posting triple patterns soon.  Practice these patterns by saying them one line at a time and having your child repeat after you.

This exercise helps children learn to listen, as well as learn patterns with different counts and rhythms.
