Rhythm Randomizer
The rhythm randomizer lets the user choose the time signature and length of rhythm pattern with the left button, and then choose which notes to read using the right button. I recommend starting with eighth notes (ti-ti, as youngers kids call them) and quarter notes and rests (ta). Progress on to sdd sets of 4 sixteenth notes next. Contact Mr. Lake for help reading harder rhythms or counting methods.
