The purpose of this page is to help students gain a better understanding of rhythm.  It is designed specifically to aid them in completing rhythm studies worksheets which require them to write in the appropriate counting for the given rhythms.  Completed examples and explanations are given.  Students are also required to perform the rhythms and therefore this site will includes audio examples of the rhythms.

This site is correlated with the rhythm exercises in the back of the Essential Elements 2000 method book series.  This site uses .jpg, .gif, and .mp3 files.
