“Bad to the Bone”           Rhythm with Rests

                The letters represent quarter note rests that should be said out loud, or whispered, in order to help young students to keep track of where they are in the counting sequence.  In parts “A” and “C” there are five notes in the correct sequential order as indicated on the “Key Sequence Maps”.  Note 1 is an upbeat, notes 2 – 4 are a triplet, and note five is on the down beat of the next measure.  This also is represented by (A) which is simultaneously the begging of the next rest counting sequence.
