Instructions for Rhythm Cubes

RHYTHM CUBES:  I wrote a series of three progressive technique books that I would like to share. The original books were titled Music Adventures.  These were written before the Faber series came out.  The set is a collection of exercises and drills presented in an unusual format and I encourage students and teachers to use them creatively.  You may play the exercises in any order and in any direction.  Just to get started, I am posting part of one adventure called rhythm cubes.  The adventures come in a variety of shapes.

Some other suggestions for using Rhythm Cubes are to practice clapping four measures of each rhythm represented in the cube.  Find an example of each rhythm in your own music books.  Clap two measures of a rhythm represented in the cube and see if your teacher, student or friend can guess the correct rhythm.  Use the cube to play any number of games from bingo to memory.
