Description: Help students transcribe rhythm patterns! This digital resource develops listening skills through drag-and-drop dictation exercises. Focusing on patterns that use a combination of quarter notes and eighth note pairs, this particular level was designed primarily for use beginning with 1st grade students. An answer key is included in the Teacher Guide. 6 exercises featuring patterns that start and end with quarter notes 6 exercises featuring patterns that start with a pair of eighth notes but end with a quarter note 10 exercises featuring patterns that end with a pair of eighth notes For each exercise, students listen to the provided rhythm pattern recording and drag the available rhythm “element cards” into the “beat boxes” to notate the performed sequence. Standard notation is used to represent rhythm elements, and each one appears on individual cards which can be placed on white squares, or “beat boxes,” that each represent a single beat. Time signatures appear in simplified form with a quarter note in the denominator. The recorded rhythm patterns use a wood block sound.
