Here is an example of a Unit for a new rhythmic concept. The assessment is called musical colors. It's similar to musical chairs, except if a student does not step on a shape, they have to read a rhythm. I usually do this with 3-5 students at a time. I turn up some fun music and when it goes off they must get to a shape or else they READ a RHYTHM!

**Dec 29, 2020 update: The issue of multiple correct answers in B Mode has been corrected!

The Rhythm Trainer is a free website for learning and practicing rhythm. There are two types of exercises: A Mode where you click in the rhythm you hear, and B Mode where you see a rhythm and choose the sound that matches. At the end of your session, you can email your results to anyone (for example, your teacher) and they can see how you are doing! NOTE: Some email systems block the emails.

This site is the original since 2007 and is accessible (free!) from all devices.
There is no Apple or Android app (and never has been, though many have "borrowed").
Feel free to email me with comments, suggestions, questions or just to say hello! at john@therhythmtrainer.com

What our community is saying

With ScreenPal I've been able to extend my expertise and automate some of my more routine tasks by creating high-quality video content and feedback, which then frees up my time for more personalized mentorship.

Cal Poly University Professor and founder and CEO of Mentorship Academy

ScreenPal's user-friendly interface and seamless integration into our existing teaching methods made it an obvious choice. From day one, it was clear that ScreenPal was not just another tech tool; it was a catalyst for active learning and collaboration.

Technology Integration and Innovation Coordinator, Arlington ISD

We use ScreenPal internally to create and manage all of the videos we share with educators. ScreenPal makes it easy to create videos with a consistent, branded look and feel, and then to share all of those videos from a central repository.
