Dr. Musik does it again! Another great, free tool called Rhythm Writer! Tap on a post-it note so the red highlight appears. Then, tap on the box above to place that rhythm in the pattern. Press play and the program will play the rhythm pattern. Since it looks like it currently only writes in common rhythm patterns, here are some ideas on how this can be used in a classroom:
Project onto a screen and have students create rhythm patterns that the class performs. Once they perform it, press play to check their performance.
Place it at a center where the students create rhythm patterns that they record themselves performing with a screen recording program.
Assess students by having them create rhythm patterns and then perform them for each other while you observe and assess.
Decode rhythm patterns using rhythm writer. You dictate and they decode.
Have the students write the patterns on paper first and then transfer them to rhythm writer. Since it is in common time, it will not allow more than four beats in the pattern. The students can then see if they wrote a pattern that was accurate.
I love that it plays back what you create. This is a great way for students to self-check their performance.
