This is a starter book written by drummers for parents to introduce rhythms to their child. It is very basic, but for any age beginner. A child will probably get the feeling of playing a few basic rhythms quicker than you think. The book teaches how to read music by introducing note values, rests, and counting, with lots of examples to practice. It covers rhythms only, not differently pitched notes, so it is applicable to any and all musical instruments. We believe rhythm is an integral part of all humans. Just watch a child who can hardly stand, rock back and forth to a beat. As parents, let's gift our children with this gift for life.
