This a huge rhythm bundle at a fantastic price! This rhythm curriculum is one of a kind and is being used by thousands of teachers of all instruments in classrooms, group lessons, private lessons and more. Students are engaged and excited about learning rhythm with this rhythm curriculum!
This bundle includes all the PDF curriculum books along with access to the streaming tracks for all these books.
What does the Rhythm Curriculum Bundle include?
The rhythm curriculum bundle includes all of our reproducible rhythm products (more on that below). It contains:
- Rhythm Menagerie® 2017 Edition
This is the first book in the core rhythm series. Rhythm Menagerie® is carefully designed to take away other distractions that often interfere with good rhythm development. Things like note reading, dynamics, articulations, and busy pages are taken away so that students can develop the #1 skill in music: rhythm. No other skill in music is so important or so noticeably absent when it is missing. If you play by ear, you need rhythm. If you play by notes, you need rhythm. And if you just noodle around on the piano, you also need rhythm!
Rhythm Menagerie® is comprehensive and can help ensure mastery! - Rhythm Menagerie® Streaming Tracks
Beautiful music compositions in themselves, these tracks are designed to go with the rhythm and include 3 tracks for every line – 2 tracks with the clapping as well as 1 track without clapping. There are 864 tracks and they are meticulously organized to that they are easy-to-access and easy-to-use. - Rhythm Menagerie® Progress Charts and Stickers
These are not your run of the mill progress charts. They are beautifully designed animal menagerie canvases on which students place stickers. You can print as many of the stickers as you need (or pre-die cut Avery labels) and print as many of the progress charts as you need. - Rhythm Manipulations®
This is the second book in the core rhythm series and picks up right where Rhythm Menagerie® leaves off. This book is designed to especially appeal to older students like pre-teens and teenaged students. The activities on the Rhythm Maneuvers pages (there are other pages that can be done by 1 person) are all ones that appeal to teens and can be done in groups or simply with a teacher. The artwork is appealing to older students and doesn’t feel “dumbed down”. - Rhythm Manipulations® Streaming Tracks
These accompaniment tracks are fun and widely varied in styles. All of them were designed to be appealing to all ages, including teens. There are 3 tracks for every line – 2 tracks with the clapping as well as 1 track without clapping. There are 750 tracks that are meticulously organized to that they are easy-to-access and easy-to-use. - My First Rhythm Cup Explorations® + Streaming Tracks
This new book features is designed to introduce steady beat and rhythm to children especially ages 4-8 (some 3 years olds as well). This book moves carefully and strategically to help ensure that young students are able to be successful in tapping accurate rhythms. Super fun! In our testing, the students begged for more! There are 84 streaming tracks to which you have access. - Rhythm Cup Explorations® 1
This is an outrageously fun supplement to Rhythm Menagerie®. The first book is designed so that you can use it with all your students…containing a variety of units. For example, unit 1 which drills quarter and half notes can be used with your beginning students while unit 2 (eighth notes), unit 3 (triplets), and unit 4 (sixteenths) can be used with more advanced students. For a representation of most note values, you’ll need book 2! And for the most comprehensive rhythm curriculum you can find, you’ll want the Menagerie and Manipulations books as well. - Rhythm Cup Explorations® 2
Cup Tapping book 2 is even bigger and better than book 1! We’ve added even more fun cup tapping techniques and also included hard-to-find units: syncopated eighths and syncopated sixteenths! Students of all ages (even adults and teens) absolutely love Rhythm Cup Explorations! - Rhythm Cup Explorations® 1 Streaming Tracks
These are fun and groovy beats that go with the pages in book 1. You definitely want these when doing them with students! - Rhythm Cup Explorations® 2 Streaming Tracks
These are fun and groovy beats that go with the pages in book 2. You definitely want these when doing them with students! - Holiday Rhythm Cup Explorations®
This PDF book contains 3 intermediate piano arrangements of holiday songs. With each of these pieces come 3 levels of choreographed cup tapping that is perfect for any kind of performance or group lesson! - Holiday Rhythm Cup Explorations® orchestration tracks
These orchestral tracks (that come with and without the piano part) for Holiday Rhythm Cup Explorations® make your performance absolutely stunning! Because you also get tracks that include the orchestration and the piano, you don’t even need someone playing the piano part if a piano is not available (so it’s especially great for classroom music teachers)!
All of this comes with this Rhythm Curriculum Bundle!
What is a studio license and how can I use this?
This bundle comes with a studio license which permits you to use and print the PDF books for any student you directly teach. It also permits you to use the tracks in your studio or classroom with students you directly teach (tracks may not be electronically distributed). Students would need to purchase their own streaming tracks if they want to use these at home. (Use the links above to send them to the appropriate tracks.)
So you only ever need to purchase this bundle one time! It’s yours for your life and can be used in the ways explained above with all your students!
How does the pricing and subscription work?
- When you purchase this bundle, you will be charged one time for the price of the PDF rhythm books. Then, you will be charged monthly for the streaming tracks. See above for monthly charge. Tracks are secured and cannot be downloaded from the streaming service, but you can cancel the monthly streaming service at any time.
- After payment, you get web access to all 1,839 tracks. This means that you can log in to ComposeCreate.com from any device (computer, ipad, iphone, smartphone) and play any of the tracks from these books.
- The tracks are hosted on our super fast web server.
- They are organized by unit and page (see screenshots at top of page).
- Once you have paid for the streaming tracks, you’ll receive links to access the tracks quickly and easily.
How do the Streaming Tracks work?
You can access your streaming tracks by going to My Account, then clicking on Memberships. You’ll see all the memberships of tracks you have access to and then can click on the content. Once you are in the tracks pages, you’ll see a different menu appear that helps you navigate easily between books and units. Watch this video to see how it works:
What is a studio license? Why is it so amazing?
This Rhythm Curriculum + Streaming Tracks Bundle comes with a studio license which means that you only have to purchase it one time but you can use it for ANY student you are directly teaching! You can make prints of any of the pages of the PDF and give them to your student. You can even print the entire book for or email to your students! There is no limit to the number of students you can do this for – they just have to be students that you directly teach.
For the tracks, the studio license means that you may use the tracks in your studio but tracks tracks are secured and cannot be shared. Students will need to purchase their own track subscription to use at home: Rhythm Cup Explorations® 1 – Streaming tracks, Rhythm Cup Explorations® 2 – Streaming Tracks, My First Rhythm Cup Explorations® – Streaming tracks, Rhythm Menagerie® – Streaming Tracks, Rhythm Manipulations® – Streaming Tracks.
What is the difference in the editions?
- North American vs. International:
The difference between the North American (uses terms like “quarter, half, whole”)and International edition (uses terms like “crotchet, minum, quaver”) have to do with what rhythm terms you use. - Piano vs. Classroom:
The only difference between the piano and classroom editions are the introductory pages for each unit. The piano edition instructs students to do activities on the piano. The classroom edition instructs students to do activities with “their instrument” and this will work with any instrument including piano.
Will I be able to download the tracks?
No. This subscription gives you web access to the tracks, but they are secured and cannot be downloaded.









































Beth –
On Saturday I had a group of 8 grade school kids over. We played My First Rhythm Cup Explorations! The kids just loved it. They said “This is so much fun!” They also love Rhythm Menagerie and Rhythm Manipulations. Thanks for putting all the Rhythm activities together! Love the back tracks.
