One of my second grade classes has a hard time staying focused and on task. Today I went through the difference between a steady beat and a rhythm using the Note Knacks Method and I was excited to see that they could read the rhythms I put before them. It was amazing!!! They could read quarters, 2 eighths, 4 sixteenths and halfs. They remembered the correct way to say each color and were reminded by seeing the actual color. It was awesome! They felt successful, as did I!!! They even said a whole note while I was putting a new rhythm together.
Now they can write their own rythms and decide on instrumentation. Wahoo!!
Question of the day: Who decided that kids couldn't learn all the notes in relation to each other instead of piece meal????
