Rhythm Basics, by Wendy Barden, is an effective new supplemental workbook loosely based on the progression of lessons taught in the popular new string method String Basics. Students learn, practice, and apply rhythms commonly used in middle level and early high school repertoire through a variety of engaging activities, all challenging students to extend their understanding of rhythms to higher level thinking. Units are sequential and, once a concept is introduced, it is reinforced throughout the rest of the book. Rhythm Basics provides the foundation necessary for young musicians to achieve rhythmic mastery!
