Rhythm Group 20

This book is to be used in conjunction with Moppets' Rhythms and Rhymes, teacher's Book.
Moppels' Rhythms and Rhymes is a collection of game songs set to strongly rhythmical verses (some Mother Groose) for children from four through seven. While this may seem like a wide age span, Rhythms and Rhymes Teacher's Book explains how the various activities can be used to suit several levels of development.
Rhythms and Rhymes focuses on strengthening the children's innate sense of rhythm and their understanding of melodic direction through body movements, the use of the piano keyboard, rhythm instruments and rhythmical poems and games. It should be used with groups of at least four.
Although the book is planned specifically as a part of the Music for Moppets pre-piano course to be given in the teacher's own music studio, it can also be used very effectively in nursery school, kindergarten, and first grade.
On completion of the Music for Moppets course, the children should be well prepared to continue in a more formalized study for piano, or any other instrument.

From the very first lessons in Book 1, students are making music as they explore the piano keyboard through fun improvisation pieces called My Own Song. The beginning of the book introduces finger numbers, the black-key and white-key groups, and basic rhythm patterns. Directional reading is taught first by finger number, then by note name, and then by interval (stop, skip, and repeat). Once the students are introduced to the staff, they learn reading guides Bass F and Treble G and read by interval in several different hand positions.
