Pickups, Ties and Cut Time — Counting, Book Two
A 17-page rhythm workbook on reading the bottom number of a time signature, counting pickup notes, holding notes across barlines with ties, and cut time (2/2). Five games and a teacher answer key.
The next step after simple meters: how the bottom number of a time signature sets the beat, how a pickup note balances the final measure, and how a tie carries a sound across a barline. Cut time (2/2) gets its own section, with counting practice to match.
Five hands-on games (Pickup Patrol, Tie Breaker, Re-bar It, Counting in Cut Time, and Name That Meter) are followed by a written reflection page. A three-page teacher answer key and a one-page reference cheat sheet are included.
