Instructions

Step 1: Listen Up!

Watch the rhythm being played on the screen. You'll hear a pattern of quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes, with the correct counting above each note.

Step 2: Clap It Back!

Once you’ve heard the rhythm, try clapping it back as closely as you can! Pay attention to the timing and count the beats as you go.

Step 3: Level Up!

To make it trickier, change the playback speed. Start slow, and as you get better, speed it up to challenge yourself and improve your timing.

Step 4: Have Fun!

Keep playing, and see how many rhythms you can clap back correctly! Perfect your claps, and become a rhythm pro!
