Rhythm Circle Description
I started Rhythm Circle to help young children learn the basics of music. Starting formal music lessons is difficult. Not only is there a new instrument to master but also new signs and symbols, and virtually a whole new ‘language’ to get used to. Most students struggle with rhythm and music notation in particular. The majority of this information is visual requiring prior knowledge of basic numeracy / literacy and is usually taught with the children sitting still. However, children learn best using their whole bodies, with movement, and by play!
Rhythm Circle aims to teach the basics of music to young children who may not have grasped the basics of literacy or numeracy. These children can then can go on to begin formal music lessons with confidence. Via a series of progressive activities including musical games, drawing, listening, children are familiarised with basic music notation and develop listening and counting skills. The course is not specific to any one type of instrument and is designed to be a precursor to formal lessons later on
