Students will learn basic rhythm notes, their shapes and values. They will explore the structure of the 'rhythm pyramid' and learn its rhythmical subdivisions: the whole, half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes, as well as the corresponding rests. Students will learn to identify simple rhythms and clap along the song (they can also use rhythm instruments).
The timing and pacing of the exercises in this lesson plan example are approximate and will differ depending on your students' skill level. If the pace of this lesson plan is too fast for you, divide it into several lessons. If the pace of this lesson plan is too slow for you, explore the 'Beyond the lesson' chapter at the end of this lesson plan for additional activities.
