    The document provides instructions for practicing rhythmic and melodic exercises, including suggestions for varying rhythmic exercises and writing your own melodic exercises.

    Some of the rhythmic exercise suggestions include tapping the pulse with one foot and clapping the rhythm, tapping with one hand and playing the rhythm with the other, and tapping the pulse with the foot and making up a tune.

    For melodic exercises, students are instructed to write down the rhythm on the line underneath the exercise, then clap it and write their own exercise to clap.

    Rhythmic exercises
    Always vary the way you do the rhythmic exercises. Here are a few ideas:
    • Tap the pulse with your right foot (sometimes use your left foot!) and clap
    the rhythm.
    • Tap the pulse with one hand and the rhythm with the other (swap hands!).
    • Tap the pulse with your foot and play the rhythm on a note (either hand).
    • Tap the pulse with your foot and make up a tune to fit the rhythm.
    Before you begin each exercise count two bars in; the first out loud and the
    second silently.
