Sight reading, auditory discrimination and verbal chanting of rhythm patterns.

Creative Expression Students will create a rhythm pattern, eight beats long, using half, quarter and eighth notes and quarter rests. They will then combine their patterns into a group composition and then perform it.
Pattern recognition is a vital skill in critical thinking, particularly in problem solving.

A note having the value of one beat. Quarter rest-A rest lasting for the same duration as a quarter note. Have students sit in circle on floor.
