The Rhythm Refresh Pack

Two familiar songs. Six connected modules. A path from feeling the beat to reading and using the rhythm.

Experience the Note Superheroes website with your students through Engine, Engine Number Nine and Peas Porridge Hot. The planned pack connects quarter notes, paired eighth notes, and quarter rests with full lesson guidance.

More than a collection of activities.
