  1. Kristy McLaren

    I LOVE the Rhythm Cups! I have used it 5 times since yesterday afternoon. Brilliant !

  2. Mary Jane Cope

    I used the Rhythm Cup explorations game with groups this week; my students loved it – even the older high school students had a great time!

    I love that this is so adaptable (in terms of tempo, repetitions, sequencing, etc.), and can even inspire students to make up some of their own – suitable for all ages! I noticed most of my students were extraordinarily focused but relaxed when doing these exercises.

  3. Iris Westcott

    Addictive and kids of all ages love it!

  4. Kimberly Baker

    My students were a little surprised at first, and then excited, and they had a LOT more fun doing those than the regular rhythm book I’ve used for years! My students are loving the Rhythm Cups! 🙂

  5. Jessica Barefoot

    My students loved it! …Definitely will be worth my money, and I appreciate how affordable it is. This is such a fun way to teach rhythm reading!

  6. Cheryl Weber

    My 6th graders love rhythm cups!

  7. Priscilla Moffett

    Wish I had tried this a loooong time ago…..my students understand and internalize the beats immediately!!

  8. Elizabeth

    So. Much. Fun! My students adore Rhythm Cups and totally feel rewarded for achieving the prerequisite Rhythm Menagerie levels and being able to move on to Rhythm Cups. It appeals to all ages!

  9. chavahfried

    Great material,great fun! Wendy did a lot of work so I didn’t have to! WOW! and it’s digital folks! What could be better?
    What would be better is that Wendy would keep making more amazing programs! Thank you, Wendy!

    I used the Rhythm Cups game at a group Piano Party. Students of all ages and levels loved it! We had a blast learning the song, and then challenging ourselves to do it at a faster tempo. Great fun!

  11. Bill

    We tried Rhythm Cups in a handbell camp class and loved them. I remembered trying them in a former church music position, so I’ve ordered a bundle to use this fall in a new church position. I know the children will love them and learn a lot at the same time. I’ll bring my laptop and use the beats, too.

  12. Janet Hodgson

    Loving rhythm cups – using it in most of my lessons with pupils aged 7-11. Helping to establish pulse, and rhythmic coordination while having fun. One of my pupils also observed that I was enjoying this activity while teaching it! 🙂

  13. Michelle Hansen

    This is so much fun! I first did it with my family and everyone had such a good time. Then I started doing it with my students. It is a brilliant program! The accompaniment tracks are really fun to play along, and it’s fun without tracks. It’s just the perfect challenge for working on rhythm. I recommend it to everyone, all my music teaching friends, and they been sold on it, too.

  14. Sandra Black

    I’ve been using Rhythm Menagerie for a few years now and love it but I needed something a bit different for my school pupils to perform in assembly – Rhythm Cup Explorations is just what I wanted! The students are loving it and we’re all looking forward to performing in a few weeks time. It’s just a whole new level of fun with rhythms!

  15. Rebecca Sackman-Smith

    I have started using this both with students who struggle with rhythm and those who don’t and found immediately that we both started laughing – which I then realised we don’t do enough of in our lessons! Really nice materials and great backing tracks. Highly recommended.

  16. Mary

    I did Rhythm Cup Explorations first with the accompaniment. I really enjoyed it on my own. Whewwwww! I so happy that I finished the whole book 1st part. It was really fun and help me focus more of my Rhythm.

    Surely, my students will enjoy it too.

    Thank you so much for introducing this to all teachers. Superb!

  17. Alma

    I used the Rhythm Cups for the first time at a piano group party. The kids just loved it! Three students that are sisters wanted to take it home and continue enjoying it! Thanks!!

  18. Kaitlin Mattox

    What an inventive and intuitive tool for rhythmic instruction. My kids are having a blast and learning a TON!

  19. Ruth

    I purchased the Rhythm Cup Exploration book and have used it for two weeks and my students love it. They are having fun with the rhythms!

  20. Laura Crouse

    I did a Rhythm Cup activity with a bunch of Middle and High Schoolers as a way to bond a new group— and when I polled everyone afterwards, it was a unanimous thumbs-up from two dozen teenagers—even the non-joiners. 🙂

  21. Becky Hause

    I used them with my piano classes and they are a fun way to reinforce rhythm concepts.

  22. Svetlana

    I love the rhythm menagerie and cups A LOT but not the backing tracks. Maybe it’s just my personal taste, but I’d prefer them to be more orchestral with beautiful melodies and harmonies.

  23. Ginger

    I LOVE this so much! I’ve done this for group lessons and individual lessons. It’s great for both. This is also great for all levels. The early level kids really caught on fast too.

  24. Brenda Steele

    I started a new student a couple of weeks ago. He is 5 years old. Today he came and I started him on the Rhythm Cup Explorations. He loved it so much that he didn’t want to go hone. I showed his mother the materials. As she listened to us doing it she remarked how great it was and that she had never seen it before. She said it’s like school but better. It is a wonderful tool. Thank you for creating it and passing in to we teachers. It’s a fabulous aid for us.

  25. Katherine Knock

    I am happy to report that the rhythm cups are invaluable in my lessons. I am using them to reinforce rhythm values from repertoire and it is going well with one adult student reporting practising the rhythms first really helped her sight reading! Plus I just love the fact that they support pupils to feel the rhythm which is so important.

  26. Lee

    My grade 3 students loved the first lesson. They especially LOVE the beat tracks and want “faster! Faster!”

  27. Sally

    I just love all of your products and even my adult students enjoy rhythm cups!

  28. Allison

    We used the rhythm cups in our string group class last Saturday and it was definitely a hit! I’m sure they will be a regular in our rhythm practice.
