Recorder Rhythms for Centers Level 2 (Quarter notes/rest, Eighth, 16th notes)
Are you looking for recorder resources to support a student-centered environment in your music room? These print and go recorder rhythms are just the tool you need to get your students reading and successfully playing quarter, eighth, 16th notes and quarter rests on any type of recorder.
In my years of teaching, I have found that when students are learning notes, sometimes reading them on the staff can be a bit overwhelming for them. These cards have been designed to alleviate that component so that your students can focus on playing rhythms and specific notes without having the added challenge of reading on the staff…that can come later as they level up and develop more fluency. Don’t let reading the notes of the staff stop your students from successfully playing.
This downloadable PDF includes:
140 color coded cards (if you print in black and white, I suggest printing each note with a different color paper)
10 different rhythm patterns for each note (BAGCDEF) using quarter, eighth, 16th notes and quarter rests
Eight suggestions for use in both centers and whole class instruction
Two pages of blank cards (one with a colored flag and one without) for you to use as you would like (ex:can be laminated and students can practice notating and composing rhythms/melodies using expo markers)
For example:
Create stations around the room for notes you want students to practice. Ex) Station ONLY for B, ONLY for A, ONLY for G…Have students rotate around the room to practice individual notes.
Create stations around the room for MIXED notes. Ex) BAG cards together. This helps students practice and learn to switch between different notes
Have students compose their own melodies:
Give students cards with different notes and have them arrange as they like to compose a simple song. Share with the class when they are finished (great opportunity for you to assess!)
