This exceptional series of books teaches students rhythm the way language is learned: by first learning to hear and perform, then adding the knowledge of symbols and names. Included are rhythm examples to tap and count (with teacher duets), games and written examples, ear-training activities, review pages in a fun format, and rhythm evaluations.

Book 1 covers the following concepts: quarter, half, whole notes and their respective rests; measures; time signatures; counting by measure; tied notes; dotted half notes; and more.
