Rhythm Menagerie® and Rhythm Manipulations® are the core rhythm curriculum that thousands of teachers around the world are using to establish an internal sense of rhythm in their students. These reproducible books follow a logical and sequential approach to teaching rhythm and are carefully graded to help students master rhythm. 

The Menagerie and Manipulations streaming tracks are an integral part of helping students feel the rhythm with their whole body. These tracks contain a wide variety of musical styles and have been created at three different tempos to help students learn at the tempo that is best for them. The streaming tracks help ensure that students and teachers can play them at any time, with any device that has internet access.

The accompaniment tracks also help ensure that students know how the rhythm is played. In the first two tracks for every line, the notated rhythm is clapped or tapped so the student knows exactly how the rhythm sounds. The third track takes away this help and contains just the accompaniment music.

Can I use this to teach myself rhythm?

Yes! Because of the versatile tracks, you can now use Rhythm Menagerie® and Rhythm Manipulations® with these accompaniment tracks to learn rhythm on your own. Since the first 2 tracks of each line (there are 3 tracks per line) include the clapping of the notated rhythm in the book, students can check to make sure they are clapping/tapping the right rhythms.

Will I be able to download the streaming tracks?

No. This subscription gives you web access to the tracks, but they are secured and cannot be downloaded. If you wish to purchase the tracks outright so that you can have the mp3 files in your possession and play them on media players of your choice, then you can purchase the Rhythm Menagerie® streaming tracks or Rhythm Manipulations® streaming tracks.

What if I have already purchased the tracks as a download?

You will still have access to all of those previously purchased tracks and can use them with your favorite media players. However, this subscription is a separate purchase as it gives you an easy way of accessing these tracks from a central location.
