RHYTHM

Scope and Sequence

KR1 Demonstrate a steady beat using body percussion, instruments, the voice, and movement.
KR2 Imitate, perform, and move to rhythmic patterns (sounds and silences) and steady beat using body percussion, instruments, the
voice, and movement.
KR3 Read rhythmic patterns using standard and/or iconic notation.
KR4 Respond to music using locomotor and non-locomotor movement.
KR5 Identify contrasts in long and short sounds.
KR6 Improvise simple rhythmic patterns using body percussion, instruments, the voice, and movement.
1R1 Identify, demonstrate, and respond to contrasts between melodic rhythm and steady beat using the voice, instruments, body
percussion, and movement.
1R2 Read, notate, compose, and perform rhythmic patterns including quarter notes ( a), paired eighth notes (s, jj), and quarter
rests (q) using iconic, stick and standard notation using the voice, instruments, body percussion and movement.
1R3 Improvise simple rhythmic patterns using body percussion, instruments, the voice, and movement.
2R1 Read, notate, compose, and perform rhythmic patterns including previously studied durations, half note ( f), tied notes, half rest
(r), whole note ( g), and whole rest (t) using standard notation using the voice, instruments, body percussion and movement.
2R2 Identify like and unlike rhythmic phrases.
2R3 Respond to meter by using locomotor and non-locomotor movement.
