XV-04 Eighth Note Strumming with Rests

/in /by

About this resource

This exercise displays strumming patterns visually using a series of arrows which indicate strumming direction. The purpose of displaying the pattern visually is to teach your student the skill of strumming before they learn how to read rhythm notation. By teaching strumming using this resource first, your student will develop faster. Teaching your student to read rhythm notation first can slow the learning process down. We highly recommend starting with this resource then move to standard rhythm notation. This exercise also works very well with children as they can clearly see which direction they should strum the strings.

This exercise splits the bar up into eighth notes and includes rests so it is a good starting point to first complete the XV-01, XV-02 and XV-03 exercises.
