Shade in the coordinates to find the name of an American Composer, Copland. The student finds the coordinate (i.e. C4), shades it in, and when done it spells out "Copland". This fill-in is great a cross-curriculum worksheet because not only does it tie in to Music with the American composer Copland but also with Math by graphing and Geography with using coordinates. Can be used in multiple grades, 3-8. The first page is the answer sheet and the second is the student sheet. -- Eric Ruyle

This worksheet has the student adding the values of Quarter Notes, Half Notes, and Whole Notes in different combinations. A great way check understanding of note lengths in a cross curriculum manner. Your Math people will love you! With 18 problems, it doesn't take long to complete but will show if the student is comprehending. Good for grade levels 1-3. - Eric Ruyle (I can create customized versions. Contact me.)

Using words to demonstrate rhythms is a great way to introduce the concept of rhythm. Using names of instuments they might play makes it even more fun. It starts with showing pictures first then later adds the notation that goes along with the words. Quarter note and paired eighths are used.

This zip package includes Recorder Tips (pdf), Sheet Music (pdf), and Play-a-long Video. The video has a beat tracker that helps the player follow the music while playing. Introduces the notes G and E on the Soprano Recorder, it starts with whole notes and progresses to quarter notes. It is short enough that it can be learned in one class period. A measure rest between measures enables echoing, if desired. There is NO recorder playing during the video, just the accompaniment track. Video form

This worksheet is similar to "Adding Notes" with this one is adding the values of Paired Eighth Notes, Quarter Notes, Quarter Rests, Half Notes, Half Rests, and Whole Notes in different combinations. (I have the rests adding value because even though they are silent, time still marches on) A great way check understanding of note lengths in a cross curriculum manner. Your Math people will love you! With 18 problems, it doesn't take long to complete but will show if the student is comprehending.

Have your students color the decoration that matches the rhythm.
