Beginning Rhythm for Preschoolers

Beginning Rhythm for Preschoolers was written to help my children learn how to read music. It is in landscape formatting, and includes several print-outs to make your own materials to teach your children with. My musical training as a music graduate and an Orff instructor convinced me long ago that I needed to teach my children to read music at a young age. I have drawn from my experience and present to my children the best methods in my toolbox. It works! My only genius, if I have any at all, is taking these elements and further simplifying them for my two-year-old. Some of the tools I use include, stick notation, French rhythm solfege, body and instrument percussion, large font for easier reading, bright colors, simple rhythmic elements (only the quarter note, quarter rest, and eighth notes are used), extension activities and games to hold your child's interest, and short, simple lessons that can be as little as a minute a day. http://www.professional-mothering.com/rhythm-for-preschoolers.html
