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 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.

Your Math people will love you! With 18 problems, it doesn't take long to complete but will show if the student is comprehending.

An expansion of the "Animal Rhythm" (which is available for free). This has more animals with some longer animal names.

A one page sheet where the student is to discover and write the rhythm of the words for animal names. The rhythms of words are broken into one and two parts. There are pictures of the animal to help the student. I have the student say the name first, then clap the rhythm while saying, and finally write the rhythm above the word. This can be used as whole class assignment or as individual work. I have used it in my classroom both ways. This works with Kindergarten and 1st Grade. - Eric Ruyle, Mu
