Rhythm

Game:

The student hears a rhythmic fragment:
• by putting rhythm elements in the right place, the right musical picture must be achieved;
• or: the student must tap the rhythm that can be seen or heard;
• or (when multiple choice): the student must choose the right fragment.

The app generates questions in ‘random’ order based on teacher-chosen material and preferences.

To be set by the teacher (on the teachers’ page):

• Question (if not filled in, the standard question will be displayed)
• Type of question/display in the app (see below)
• Direction of the stems: down/up
• Metronome subdivision (No=quarter notes only, Yes=quarter + eighth notes)
• Speed (20-120 bpm)
• Time signature + number of bars
• Rhythm elements (see below)
• Max. number of possible binding bows (max. 1 per beat; not to last note)

• number of questions/number of correct answers (+ minimum % correct answers)
