Rhythm Menagerie® and Rhythm Manipulations® are the core rhythm curriculum that thousands of teachers across the world are using to establish an internal sense of rhythm in their students. These reproducible books are carefully graded to give students a comprehensive training in rhythm. The books follow a logical and sequential approach and contain enough material to help with mastery of each rhythm concept. 

These books and tracks can be used with or without a teacher. The accompaniment tracks help ensure that students know how the rhythm is played. The first two tracks for every line contain the sound of clapping or tapping so the student knows exactly how the rhythm sounds. The third track for every line takes away that help and just contains the accompaniment music.

Accompaniment Tracks:

This bundle comes with a total of 1,615 tracks! There are 3 tempos of tracks for each line of music. Students should use the tempo that helps them be successful. They do not need to always strive for the fastest tempo. But we have provided a fast tempo as one of the three tracks because many students like a challenge.

Here is a video of tracks samples. You can also see more samples on the Rhythm Manipulations® Accompaniment Tracks page.

Can I use this to teach myself rhythm?

Yes! Because of the versatile tracks, you can now use Rhythm Manipulations® with these accompaniment tracks to learn rhythm on your own. This is because the first 2 tracks of each line (there are 3 tracks per line) include the clapping (or right hand/left hand tapping) of the notated rhythm in the Rhythm Manipulations® book. So, you can check yourself to see if you are performing the rhythm accurately in those first two lines. Then, you can have fun making music with the 3rd track without the clapping.

This is especially helpful when learning some of the tougher rhythms like in the polyrhythm unit.

How are Rhythm Manipulations® Accompaniment Tracks organized and delivered?

What Does The Studio License Allow?

The studio license permits you to print the PDF for any student you directly teach, even in a classroom setting. However, any teacher wanting to teach from the resource must purchase their own license. The tracks may not be shared with students, but students may purchase the Rhythm Menagerie® tracks and Rhythm Manipulations® tracks to use in home practice.
